I still prefer what we got! This city needed more USB ports, I can never find a free one to charge my airpods

Yeah, it felt like the guideway itself went pretty quickly but it's really taking a dog's age to wrap up these last parts. I think the Paton underpass lighting can change colour; it was green a few days ago.

It's like that Cassandre Normandie poster!

lol is that Tri-Klops from He-Man?

It can become another Toronto shibboleth, so you can tell whether the speaker is a local or not, like "Baby Point" or "Spadina" (or "Toronto" itself)

what i'm getting from this is, the new river park play area needs an exhibit called HOW MUCH YOU WEIGH IN A BLACK HOLE and it's just one of those machines that crushes cars into little cubes

If memory serves, the plan was for QQ to continue east and end at Cherry Street.

How many ontario line station entrances are former banks? At least three, right?

Moynihan looks sharp, but it has many of the same problems outlined in Willybru's post about Union: the outdoor spaces are cold and uninviting, there's no greenery, animation or anywhere to sit, and the interior hall also notoriously has nowhere to sit.

Just a buckwild timeline. In the time it's taken to even start this relatively minor project, I've changed careers (twice) and genders (once)

What a great streetscape (aside from the lack of trees)! I'd love to walk along there and explore. (Setting aside the impossibility of time travel, of course, and that back then I couldn't walk down the street without being assaulted and/or thrown in jail)

As far as I know, there's no ETA, and work on the extension won't begin until Metrolinx finishes their work in the corridor adding a new track, adding new sound walls, etc, and that work has quite a ways to go, so, don't hold your breath. As to how long it would take, following the notional...

It seems to read in columns, left to right: Welcome to what was once the gay st charles I am your maitre d', i am the clock in the tower Oh the things i could tell you about the bar etc. Fun! I love this.

"Teenagers gather around the Chimney to watch the local puppet show" Yup, sounds like standard teenage behaviour

Railway platform 3, if memory serves. You could cross the street via it, back in the day, but obviously from a safety/crowd management perspective having this separate, dedicated pedestrian bridge is preferable.

How's that now? 😆
