GO Transit built a clubhouse for the Oakville Smokers Club!
You LSW'ers might know it by its other name, "parking garage" but you have to say it like the folks at Metrolinx say it, with both hands in the air, each bending two fingers, making air quotes. "Parking garage".
As you can see, the event drew a huge crowd.
Here's some random politicians at its grand opening (courtesy of GO Transit's Facebook page).

ReplyDeleteOne frequent Oakville commuter and acquaintance commented a few months ago that the design was reminiscent of "A Moroccan Cat-House crossed with a Stalinist Tractor Work"
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess that's more Oakvillians that will be driving to the GO station rather than taking local transit...
ReplyDelete@ Anon 7.51:
ReplyDeleteYou should check out the 5 story (6 with ground level), 2 winged monstrosity that they are building at Ajax. Puts this one to shame.
The one they are building in Pickering is going to be the largest for GO Transit, 1500 spots.
ReplyDeleteAt least try and make an effort to celebrate. They could've had the Combined Mass Smokers Club of Oakville perform by standing in the roadway and threatening anyone who asks them to move.
ReplyDeleteGO refuses to call Burlington's parking garage a parking garage. It is a "parking structure"
ReplyDeleteI just had a run in with one smoker the other night - escalated to the point where Oakville's finest became involved. Pics to follow anon...
ReplyDeleteLOL
