The LRT Finally Opened, and My Kitchen Finally Matches My Vibe

Samsung 30" French door fridge, closed.

Right, let’s talk about miracles. Today—February 8, 2026—is a date that will go down in history. Not because I finally cleared my inbox, but because the Eglinton Crosstown LRT has actually, officially, for-real-this-time opened.

As a London-born xennial who's watched this saga unfold from my Toronto flat, I can't help but draw parallels to another lengthy decision I've been putting off: replacing my ancient refrigerator.

Unlike the Crosstown, however, I've actually made progress on my problem.

The Real Modern Marvel: Samsung 30" French Door Refrigerator

If the Crosstown is the height of Toronto transit (eventually), this Samsung 30" French Door Refrigerator is the absolute peak of "grown-up" kitchen goals.

Being an Xennial means I’m old enough to remember when fridges were just beige boxes that made a sound like a dying tractor, but young enough to want my appliances to be smarter than my first Nokia. This beauty delivers:

Open Samsung 30" fridge full of food.

* Sleek, Minimalist Design: No clunky handles to bump into while you’re dodging your kids or the cat. It features flat doors and recessed handles, which make my kitchen resemble a high-end studio in Marylebone, even though I'm actually overlooking a construction site in Midtown.

* Wi-Fi Connectivity: I can check the temperature and get "door open" alerts on my phone. Brilliant for those of us who possess the attention span of a goldfish and a chronic habit of not quite shutting the fridge after a midnight snack.

* All-Around Cooling: Unlike the Central Line in July, this thing actually stays cool in every corner. No more frozen lettuce in the back and lukewarm milk in the door.

* Fingerprint Resistant Finish: Because honestly, who has the time to polish stainless steel? I’ve got an LRT to catch.

Get Yours (And Save Your Sanity)

If you’re living that "urban professional" life where space is at a premium but your standards are high, this is the one. It fits into a 30-inch opening but feels like a TARDIS inside.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go stand on an LRT platform and just... stare at a train that actually arrives. Cheers, Toronto. We finally made it.
