I haven't been here for over a decade, but quite amazed/impressed and even encouraged by the high level of interest, passion and knowledge that goes into most of the posts. i, like many of you care (probably too much) about toronto transit-and especially surface rail and generally get excited...

hey all i have not contributed much, but have been around this thread for 2+ yrs and always appreciate strolling through the wonderful pages... just wanted to highlight a neat event coming on, for those who follow patrick's amazing flickr photostream of toronto and...

Hey all While rooting through some cabinets in the Reference Library, i came upon these two editorial cartoons from the 60's based on the TTC. while i get the general nature of the sentiment of the cartoonist (jurisdictional wrangling over control of the TTC 'runaway' TTC costs?) i don't...

in the Canadian Tire 'then' gas bar pic-anyone catch the price of anti-freeze on the sign? $2.89? -somewhat pricey for 1959?

Thanks Mustapha-love Gilead!! Re: Moppets, I take note of the young child on the right. Appears to be a young Afro-Canadian child. I'd be interested in knowing if any UT'ers know much about the black communty in Toronto at this time-or have anecdotes/links/books of note to share on this...

as a recent resident of LV (formerly of DD), i tend to agree with much of the banter in this thread re: development, what doesn't work in LV, what can work and what we may ultimately see from a design/built environment perspective. on a related note, the growth of an engaged and active...

i visited the new carlton on sunday night to see exit through the gift shop (a wickedly amusing flick). the cinema looks essentially the same structurally (obviously) but definitely tightened up their look. nothing aesthetically too pleasing or too offensive, but familiar enough to this...

as if i had to confirm it, but the poster of the patio beside the flatiron circa mid 80's is indeed staged (love the indoor cafeteria type chairs). i actually have the mounted poster in my office here at work. i used to work for the provincial ministry of tourism and recreation and was always on...

i would have to add my voice to the choir on this one. i may bike by today to have another peak, but to this consummate 'half glass full guy' i am continually disappointed by the poor design, absence of street life and nowhereness of the surroundings.

what amazing news i love the carlton!! whatever new form it takes in terms of cinema, i'll take it. have to assume it won't strictly be 1st run hollywood stuff all the time

While obviously catering to the public administrator and management professionals, Professor Sandford Borins of U of T has a pretty cool blog going and often gets into his thoughts and perspectives on Toronto/GTA issues. I consider him a leader in the field of public admin and really enjoy his...

Dilla, you are correct. it's one building set back 10m from the street-i think it had an basic/minor industrial use ..now a loft/live/work space. i had a peak at it 6 yrs ago with a view to buy (approx. 1000 sq ft of open loft)@ $300k. nice place inside

good point about the mississauga news... and speaking of news, the recent conflict of interest findings against Hazel have made front page news @ the Star... http://www.thestar.ca/Article/703050 but funny enough no comment section to register what has usually become a soapbox for...

so apparently listers cannot identify any restos that were more successful after the show..perhaps a cross-reference to HGTV msg boards should be in the works to investigate!

graphic matt...i was just going to chime in on the rogue's restaurant makeover ...massacre it was such a solid place before the makeover...ambience. great food with solid portions and interesting but familiar combos. comfy seating..predicable, regular table service with a healthy portion of...

Saw the thread on the roundhouse park and looking forward to its opening. wrt to leon's...wondering if other UT'ers have visited (i have been 3 times on peak weekend shopping times) and found to have the same feeling -namely how long will this business last here? i base this solely on the sparse...

the work to britain street sounds promising. what a cool street with that little bend. 2-3 years ago the richmond rogue had a proposal to establish a modest patio in the stonecutters laneway (essentially an alley)...and in the process of constructing the patio (non-permanent), to enable...

thanks for sharing-always love these fly over views.. i especially took note of the relative absence of highways/major thoroughfares crossing through the city in your pics. i think after a visit to calgary and its endless us-style intra-city ring roads/highways a few weeks ago, i am...

so far, i've been lurking on this particular thread for months now...without saying thanks. mustapha, thanks -enjoy immensely. me and the wife are moving into the distillery on the weekend, so particularly enjoyed the trinity st. pic. that would have to win the award for most consistent to...

i've been condoized at richmond and sherbourne for 5 yrs and have enjoyed the benefits of living 200m away from a great park and rec facility of moss park/john innes. i play alot of basketball and since the courts have been installed, the numbers of players weeknights is incredible-two full...
