Question How Far Away Is The Closest Tim Horton's?

I was just thinking the other day that I wanted a coffee. I would have walked to Tim Horton's but it was a little further than my legs wanted to carry me. But, it was too close to drive, especially with gas at the price it is.

If I were to walk it would take me about 6 or 7 minutes to get there. How far away do you live from the closest Tim Horton's?

-Matt

25 minutes - sometimes living in the country has its draw backs - but not many

A 10 minute drive gives me a choice of 10 different Tim's! Too far to walk, plus you can't really walk to the pair on the 401.

I don't go to Tim's often, that kind of thing costs money..... Maybe 1 a week?

Walk? interesting concept Matt. I walk every day,...less than a minute, to and from my truck!
There are 6 Tim Hortons in Ajax, I could in theory walk to one of them, but it's one of those theories that I will never prove!!

Darn Steve I thought I was gonna get in there with an endurance award at 20 minutes but 67 klik's is a long way to go for a craving. I guess it's maxwell house at your place or timmy's in the can.

About a 2-3 min drive for the one.

About a 5 min drive for the other 2 in town............

But when we were younger (and the gas prices were alot lower) we use to travel anywhere from 2-4or5 hours just to get a coffee from a Tim's just to scope out ......................other towns and thier ummmmmmmmmm points of intrest

Curious???????????

Why would anyone combine Tim Hortons and walk in the same sentence? Although Mr.Tim Horton was a hockey player, and a good one at that, his name on the coffee shop now stands more for "drive-through" than getting ones' fat, lazy butt out of the car and walk in and fetch. It's almost like they are telling their customers that it's OK to be lazy.
After five or six coffees, I couldn't sit still long enough in a drive-through line up. That just puts a damper on a perfectly good cafine buzz.
Maybe by now some of you folks have figured out that I don't care for Timmys' anyway.
Does anybody here know what the secret additive in Tim Hortons coffee is?
OK, another rant over.
AL.

Matt, since Tim's is second choice (I prefer A&W's coffee) for this cowboy and there is only one in town a 3 minute drive,I buy a can for home once in a while.
I also have on hand:
1) 7-11 columbian
2) Maxwell House
3) Edwards (safeway)
4) plus 4 different types of Gourmet beans in the freezer


Having a "grind & brew" coffee machine at home my coffee can't get any fresher then here.

Tim's is a good place for a meet up, as they also have other good stuff
