    Lack of a sense of greener pastures ahead and PP being a doom-and-gloomer par excellence.

    Toronto BMO Field Renovations (FIFA26) | MLSE | Gensler

    BMO is fine. The perceived dinginess is really from a lack of an exterior cladding "hidding" the innards and the metal second eck of the West Stand not being re-done a la concrete East Stand. While that second point does feel like a missed opportunity, I suppose it will get done eventually when...

    Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    More direct access to the area of Meridian Hall, Esplanade, and St. Lawrence Market. I can see myself using it to access any of those from Union on a day like today.

    My statement had absolutely nothing to do with buffer cars. Buffer cars were not in-service, not even as baggage cars. That would have been counter-productive to the entire endeavour of using them as a buffer in the event of a crash. This is the reason why pets in the baggage car were not...

    There is a reduction in the racks. The LRC/HEPs typically have three sets of racks as you enter the car, whereas the Venture as two sets at the end of the car (except for the cab car where the racks are in the middle). The racks on the Venture are seemiingly less wide and less deep.The bicycle...

    This was only really the case for a brief time a year ago over the holidays due to the baggage policy changing in mid-November but they were still honouring the old policy which allowed for more baggage. This stopped in the new year when volume died down and they began enforcing the new policy...

    Toronto 4800 Yonge Street | 168.24m | 49s | Menkes | Arquitectonica

    Likely Yonge and Eglinton in the midground and the CN Tower being so imposing it looks like it's just as far.

    Speaking of Flix, they were involved in a crash in upstate NY. https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/person-killed-in-upstate-new-york-bus-crash-was-a-canadian-citizen-global-affairs-canada/article_2a813bc6-ad5f-11ee-8f7f-bf73defc7554.html

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    You used the wrong elevator, he one in the York side you used (by Union Chicken) is to access the food court. To go up to ground level you would have had to enter the York Concourse, hang a left and walk towards the staircase/escalators p(ast the doors to access platform 3) where the elevator...

    Richmond Hill Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | Metrolinx

    @TJ O'Pootertoot Probably the best course of action would be Richmond Hill GO -> Newkirk GO, High Tech Station -> Richmond Hill Centre Station, Bridge Station -> Langstaff Station with Langstaff GO remaining the same à la Downview Park
