    Toronto Ryerson's Mattamy Athletics Centre + Loblaws at the Gardens | ?m | ?s | Ryerson University | Turner Fleischer

    Are you referring to the sushi place next to the Carlton Cinema that has pigeon crap covering 80% of their sign?

    Are the numerous spelling errors in this report owing to anticipated budget cuts?

    Toronto Peter Street Condominiums | 129.84m | 40s | CentreCourt | a—A

    If it's any assurance, last year I had a 225 square foot studio in Korea. One of my co-workers had a 170 square foot pad too. Oddly we each had to pay almost $100 a month in heat during the winter, and Seoul ain't as cold as here.

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    It'd be amazing if the private sector paid for it. My worry is that stadiums don't often get built without huge subsidization. Take the Skydome for instance.

    Does a 1 billion dollar stadium in Toronto, paid by the government, fortify our national sovereignty and collective safety?

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Considering the Harper government was found in contempt of parliament for lying about the price tag, I think it might be a good idea first to study how much new equipment to blow things up will cost. Same goes to Ford's stadium idea. If an NFL team had an economic basis, then private investors...

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Sure, the skyscraper first emerged in the U.S., but the country is a dearth of densely populated cities (with exception to San Fran and New York). If you want to see skyscrapers look to Asia. It's funny that what Ford considers government waste doesn't apply to a 1 billion dollar stadium...

    With oil the price it is, I wouldn't be surprised if that contaminated profit turned a profit.

    Is this the plot of grass between Western Battery Road and Strachan Ave that appears to be a park?

    369 King Street West (Trinity, 10s, ?)

    Let's not confuse the area for a sibling to Yorkville. Or at least it's Yorkville's much better looking adopted sister

    I'm guessing this is where there stands a newer 5 story slender brick building...

    What's the nastiest thing you've ever seen on the subway, bus, streetcar or station?

    Several years ago I was taking the Greyhound from Toronto to Peterborough when I had to make a visit to the toilet at the back of the bus. After fouling the toilet I went to flush. The latch that empties the toilet's contents didn't release, even though water filled the bowl. As a result, the...

    Toronto 159SW Condos | 118.87m | 36s | Alterra | Richmond Architects

    This would be terrific! Plans are already in the work to have the Sherbourne side of St. Jamestown get sidewalk level retail and residences. This new development can only aide in creating further demand for filling in even more of St. Jamestown's many blighted pockets.

    Now to dig out the contaminated soil after all those years of having gas leak beneath. Perhaps we could dump it into the Gulf of Mexico...? What are the chances of keeping the old beaver neon sign to hang for future retail? I believe there's a bar at Queen and Gladstone that might be...

    Transit City: Sheppard East Debate

    Well if the subway trains were replaced entirely all we'd need is to figure out how to accommodate the light rail train to the existing subway stations. Could not the subway station tracks be elevated to the platform? All that would be necessary is a simple ramp of sorts. Nor is the subway...

    Transit City: Sheppard East Debate

    I'm sorry, but is the extension of Sheppard to include a transfer, or will the light rail work harmoniously with the underground subway portion? If not, is it impossible for the city to amalgamate the two transits? If not, couldn't the TTC order trains that are compatible with both subway and...

    Toronto Two Gladstone | ?m | 8s | Streetcar | TACT Architecture

    Is there a thread on the southwest corner of Queen and Dufferin? I recall having seen an application board a couple years ago for a 12 story building. It's currently a parking lot with a L shaped rag plaza. There's a photo of the corner on the 'Eliminating the Jog' thread under the...
