FRANKIE’S FAVOURITE EATERIES

Good Morning.

I was asked the other day where you can get some good Polish food. I mean I can't really invite EVERYONE to my mother's place for dinner, but what I can do is recommend a few of my faves in Toronto. So, here goes... There is a cute little spot on Hastings in the East end. They do a funny post each day describing their dishes. It's called Hastings Diner. In the west on Dixie is a great little spot with a hot plate style Polish set up called Arkady, it's really great and of course in Toronto there is old faithful, Polonez. On Roncesvalles which was known as the Polish street there is a great place for Polish foods to take home (All the sausage, sauerkraut and smoke fish you can handle) called Bennas and of course in Mississauga there is the King of all grocery stores called Starsky. Check them all out if you can. 

P.S. Click the name of the restaurant to check them out!

TECH SPOTLIGHT

As the holiday shipping season kicks into high gear, your front door is about to get a lot more action! With all those packages coming and going, it’s a great time to consider smart security cameras to keep an eye on your deliveries. Let's face it—Black Friday and the holiday season can lead to packages piling up on your doorstep, and who wants to stress over missing deliveries or errant trucks driving through the garden?

Lucky for us, there are some fantastic early deals on smart security cameras to fit every budget! For those looking for a low-cost option, the TP-Link Tapo C210 is a solid choice when it drops to under twenty bucks. It comes with features like pan and tilt controls, 2K video, and voice control. Just a note: it doesn’t play nice with Apple’s HomeKit, but if you're not an Apple user, you can't beat that price!

If you’re considering purchasing in bundles, the two-pack of Arlo Pro 5S cameras is a standout option. It’s easy to install and offers great 2K video quality along with smart alerts that work with Alexa and Google Assistant. Plus, it boasts impressive battery life—six months with regular use and eight months in Low Power mode.

For outdoor security, the Wyze Cam Floodlight is a game changer. It features two powerful 2800-lumen LED lights that can be activated remotely or triggered by motion. It captures 2K video and offers color night vision, ensuring you won’t miss a thing, day or night.

And if you’re looking to upgrade your doorbell, Amazon’s Ring Battery Doorbell is an affordable option that pairs well with Alexa devices and is easy to install. For those wanting cloud video storage, a Ring Protect plan is available for a small monthly fee.

Lastly, if simplicity is your goal, Amazon’s Blink indoor camera system is worth considering. The third-generation model offers sharp video and reliable motion detection, all while being user-friendly and easy to integrate with your home automation systems.

With these early Black Friday deals, keeping your home secure this holiday season has never been easier!

REAL ESTATE SPOTLIGHT

 I often look at real estate. As a kid I got my license at 19 years old and sold lots of commercial store and apartment types of properties including, some industrial and of course the odd house. I think I have a knack for spotting a deal. Well, maybe I'm wrong but I see this as a deal. LMK what you think?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

I golfed last week with an old friend of mine, who's grandfather once owned the Toronto Maple Leafs and Raptors... I asked him if his grandfather had a great business quote, this was it. "When you show up late to a meeting, it's not your time you are wasting, it's theirs, so never be late". I loved that and I love the knowledge these successful entrepreneurs can give.
