The excavation on the north side of Richmond next to Downtown Ford is likely for a sales centre. It has been suspended while the old timber drains which were uncovered during excavation are examined. Anything to do with the old Taddle creek which ran along Britain Street towards this site?

The Richmond Rogue at the north west corner of Richmond and Sherbourne (west of Stonecutters Lane) has been closed for a while). The hand lettered sign in the window sites repairs from water damage. Doesn't seem to be any activity.

An interesting panhandling incident. I was on my bike at Sherbourne and Dundas. A short, thin woman I had seen approaching cars for change went to the car beside me. The female driver rummaged through her purse and console and handed the panhandler a fistful of change. She then drove off as the...

In my neighbourhood "the poor folk" dump the bin out on the sidewalk to find returnables. Often they leave it that way.

When they drill into the surrounding property and insert shoring cables to keep the wall from collapsing inward: what is this process called? what keeps the cable from pulling out? do they need permission from the adjacent property owner? if there is a building adjacent do they drill below it...

Now THAT'S a hydrant!

The somewhat old rumor at City Hall is that the community centre redevelopment is dead or at least in difficulty. The community consultation was last summer and if I recall the timeline correctly was supposed to be approved by Council by now. Anyone have info?

You would need much more population than another 1500 to support a school. As well I believe the majority of the current population is beyond the child rearing stage. The current Island Natural Science School built some years ago at a cost of over 10M has plenty of room.

What are the "wings" sticking out each end of the building?

It's a time lapse shot. Isn't it a star trail?

The 2 windows and glass block on the adjacent building to the east are being covered. Guess they were illegal?

Bicycles?
