よつばと! Vol 2 Discussion Thread (Yotsuba&! Reading Club)

Page 68

I love the artwork on this page!

But my question is from the 4th frame when Miura says じゃ近いほうにしとこーよ

This is what I understand:
じゃ - same as じゃあ - well, well then
近い - ちかい - close
方 - ほう - this one always gives me trouble, but it’s used in comparatives, ie. closer
に - location particle

This is what I don’t understand:
しとこー I guess it is something like する plus ところ but I have no idea!
Can anyone help me out here by explaining what is going on? Thank you!
