Bloor-Yorkville Scene

Teatro Verde is a great store. It will be nice to have it in a bigger location - the current one is very cramped.

I love Teatro Verde. It's like an 'It Store' for the very rich, with flowers too.

A Rolex boutique has opened at 101 Bloor.

Royal de Versailles has always sold Rolexes. It's only the sign that's new.

I know.. but it's a licensed Rolex Boutique by Royal de Versailles. Just like once upon a time there was a Bulgari boutique by them too. The sign is great - very decadent.

Backlit green plastic is what passes for decadence these days?

That's a clock btw.. I meant the facade.

 

[AndreaPalladio]

It's the same white stone it's been for years, isn't it? I didn't notice any other change.

 

[Filip]

From what I remember - the stone used to be light pink in the days of the Bulgari; for the Rolex it's off-white.

 

[AndreaPalladio]

They redid that facade a couple of years back.

Harry Rosen's 2-floor addition is coming along, They've closed road access along Bellair, between Bloor and and Cumberland. Suprisingly the store remains open.

The elevator shaft, and steel framework is now up.

October 18


I for one, am looking forward to the new Harry's Its a great store, about to become greater.

I checked out that new downstairs place on Cumberland ( UBC or something ) a few weeks ago and didn't think much of their meagre selection of men's clothes.

Harry Rosen is for men who don't know how to dress. I'm surprised he doesn't just sell the building to a developer--40 floor condo here would make sense.

Patience. And remember that Stollery's is still standing, too...

Where will all the ill-dressed sales staff stand to smoke if the Bellair door is closed? That's where they were most often found.

 

[urbandreamer]

On the roof? Or perhaps they'll be sent to Holt's alley instead?

Why do ppl shop@H Rosen? In fact, where in Toronto can u find a store bought nice men's outfit? Impossible says I.
