A Day in Toronto, an Unexpected Meeting, and a Dishwasher Rescue

Last weekend, I decided to take a little break and spend the day in Toronto. The weather was great—not too hot, not too cold—the perfect day to wander the streets, grab some good food, and soak in the city vibes. Toronto has a charm that never gets old. From the moment I stepped into the downtown buzz, I felt that familiar energy.

A Walk Through the City (and a Funny Twist)

I started my day near Kensington Market, wandered through Queen Street West, and eventually ended up near Yonge-Dundas Square, where it’s always loud, lively, and full of characters. As I was heading toward a nearby coffee shop, something unexpected (and kind of funny) happened.

While waiting at the light, a man in work boots and carrying a toolbox rushed by. We made eye contact, and he gave a quick nod. His shirt had a logo that looked familiar—ARNI Services Appliance Repair. Curious, I asked, “Hey, Thornhill?”

He turned, smiled, and replied, “Yep, on my way to a call downtown. Appliances don’t take weekends off!”

We both laughed, and I told him I’d heard of the company and seen their website: ARNI Services. It was such a random but fun moment—two strangers meeting in the middle of Toronto traffic, connected by a shared awareness of appliance repair.

Where I Ate (Highly Recommend!)

After that, I grabbed a quick lunch at Flock Rotisserie + Greens. I had their roasted chicken bowl with sweet potato and kale, and it hit the spot perfectly. It’s one of those casual places where the food feels fresh and filling without being too heavy.

Later in the afternoon, I walked along the waterfront for a bit before heading back home to Newmarket.

A Surprise at Home

As if the day hadn’t been full enough, I got home, dropped my bags, and went to unload the dishwasher—only to find water pooled at the bottom and the dishes still dirty. The filter was clearly blocked, and nothing I did seemed to work.

That’s when I remembered another name I’d seen: 911 Appliance Repair Services. I gave them a call, and to my surprise, they sent a technician out the same day.

The technician arrived quickly, was super friendly, and immediately got to work. Within 30 minutes, he cleared the filter, tested the machine, and confirmed everything was running fine again.

Thanks to him, I could finally clean the dishes and make dinner after a long day of walking, eating, and random city encounters. It wrapped up the day in the most unexpected but satisfying way.

End of the day

Toronto gave me a bit of everything that day—good food, fresh air, a random technician encounter, and a reminder that reliable help is never too far away. From a repair pro rushing to a job in downtown Toronto to another showing up in Newmarket to save my evening—both ARNI Services and 911 Appliance Repair Services reminded me that local service still means something.

Sometimes the little things—like a working dishwasher—make all the difference.
