Wasn't sure if I should post in the Restaurant thread (I'll cross-post there and feel free to delete this if Mods deem necessary), but Union Chicken is going to start build-out tomorrow for a November opening. It's not Cinnabon, but maybe the smell of rotisserie chicken can be a consolation prize?

This will be fantastic. A lot to look forward to here.

I'm curious as to the details of how water is channelled off and away from the west moat roofs. Anyone with insight?

Just so people have a sense of history Union Station was originally completed in 1920. It then stood empty until finally opened in 1927. We have nothing to complain about today.

Thank you for the context.

Patience, patience - all will be revealed.

If you look at the top of the lengthwise beams at the outer edges, you'll see that they are channelized. If I didn't know any better, I'd suggest that they have been designed to act as rain gutters.

Wake up people! Here is photographic evidence of a flat earth. NASA is fake news. Sad!

Union Station over the last two evenings. First, Bay Concourse work:

And then, inside…

Something's going in on the Skywalk level east of the Ontario Tourism storefront:

Floor and wall work in the Great Hall:

Heading into the VIA Concourse:

Higher (coffered) ceilings by a couple of inches.

Then, towards the old arrivals hall, now the Front Street Promenade…

…where there are now a pile of stores now going in behind billboards, south side:

…and without going as far as the York Promenade (where Union Chicken and the Italian joint are going in), but turning around and heading east again on the north side:

and finally…
