Scotia Tower - discount window repair

[nicetommy]

For the last couple of months there's been this green thing stuck on one of the west side windows near the top of the Scotia Tower. Looking at it from a distance, I thought it looked somewhat like a vaccuum cleaner (maybe an Ad of some sorts, I had thought)

Anyways, I took a zoom shot when I was downtown a few weeks ago, and it looks like duct tape and 2 other items have been taped over what I'm assuming is a cracked window pane. It's been like this for atleast 2 months.

That can't be too safe. And either way, it's fugly.

looks unsalvageable--i think we should tear it down. anyway, the Big Zipper has always been an extremely annoying building.

Maybe it's hard to get a panel of glass that would match the rest of the building perfectly and there's some waiting involved. At least, I hope there's a good explanation.

But I love that building :O

Based on the first picture, it looks like that particular panel is not an actual window one can see out of (that would be the row just above it). It looks to be a panel over a solid wall, so not likely someone inside could take their frustrations out on.

The window companies must be still have a backlog from the G20.

I noticed a few days ago the workers were busy removing the cracked window panel. They haven't replaced the window yet, but atleast the ugly duct-tape covered panel isn't there anymore. It's now just black. I wonder if Urban Toronto's teasing about it last week had something to do with it?
