Nice

The Downtown Markham website refers to the new condos as "York Condos". I think that the new condos will be at the current Pan Am parking lot...but that is just a guess.

I just read this.... Official Town of Markham document - Report to General Committee RE: Changing Markham from a Town to a City. Just thought you guys would find this paragraph interesting: "In today’s networked world, every municipality has to compete with every other municipality for its...

Can I say "geographic heart" of the GTA? :D

LOL....true However, my point is that "Centre of the GTA" is just a general term used to describe the location of Markham relative to the other municipalities in the GTA. Is it 100% accurate...maybe not. But does it give u a general idea of where markham is in the GTA...YES! I didn't mean...

I am not the one who made that term up: "geographic centre of the GTA". I have seen other sources use that term many many times over the years when describing Markham. I have also heard it used to decribe Vaughan as well. “Markham is the perfect location for this facility for several...

Of course, that's how I would calculate it too!.....LOL I think everyone is too concerned about my statement that Markham is the geographic centre of the GTA. Just look at a map of the GTA people....it doesn't take a genious to see that the centre is either Vaughan, Richmond Hill, or...

You obviously are not familiar with this part of the GTA. Markham borders Yonge from Steeles to Hwy 7. Richmond Hill is North of Hwy 7. And have you ever driven on the 407 from Yonge to Warden...I'm not kidding when I say less than 2 minutes. Lastly, this is the 21st century my friend and...

Markham borders Yonge. If you hop on the 407 from Yonge you can exit at Warden in less than 2 minutes, right at the doorsteps of Downtown Markham. VIVA rapidway along Hwy 7 will also be completed by 2015 from Yonge to Downtown Markham.

Not that far my friend....it's more or less the geographic centre of the GTA!

Within the next 5 years, Markham will have arena, casino, and NHL team!

TOareaFan: As always, very good points you make my friend. I did not know that Union to Unionville was 38 minutes (makes sense though). I actually haven't taken the GO in years...lol. The scenario could also play out like this....Bob calls John...says "scored two tickets for Tuesdays Blue...

Ah...i get it. When he said, "the 4 of us were going together", it confused me. This is a rare scenario....most of the time 4 people sitting at an event together do not each drive there individually in their own cars and park their cars there. Does it happen? Sure. Do more than 5-10% of...

I don't get it....if the 4 of you went together....how did you leave in 4 different cars?

Downtown Markham is not just "new sprawl" my friend...nor is it "another round of crap"...it will be something special one day, a beacon of economic growth in the GTA. It will be a shining new downtown core north of Toronto....but without all the bumbs, prostitutes, drug addicts, psychos, and...
