I visit downtown Toronto for a day, maybe once every month or two.
While looking around can be fun, usually there isn't a lot of time
when I have specific things that I want to buy, so I have to have
my destinations in mind before I go there.

I'd appreciate it if people that live in the area would recommend
"best" places to go for various types of purchases.
My major criteria are price and selection;
I don't care about trendy, or atmosphere, or such things.

e.g.
Theatre: 5-Star Tickets (half price for same day) outside Eaton Centre
Used CDs: Vortex ($15), BackBeat ($14), Dundas, a few blocks east of Yonge
New CDs: Sams, A&A, Cheapies, etc., Yonge, just north of Dundas

Please reply by mail.  I don't want to clog up this newsgroup.
If I get sufficient response I'll post a summary in a week or two.

One specific question:
does anywhere still stock Addidas Tobacco shoes (size 7 please).
