I remember McPizzas, and I loved that second-floor McDonald's. I'm iffy on if I actually remember Simpsons or not. I feel like I do remember commercials for co-branded Simpsons & The Bay Days though. Later of course it became simply Bay Days.

In case anyone else wants to hear that part of the city council meeting, the talk about the call to Mayor Parrish about giving up Malton and the airport came up starting around 1:49:10. I do think this idea to force Mississauga to give up Malton and the airport is ludicrous, and it's insane that...

Older buildings tend to have high maintenance fees.

Yeah I noticed Edenshaw have done this at Alba as well...

Personally glad they're demolishing this eyesore. Glad they're able to and it's not being saved for being "heritage" like the Union train shed.

I'm just quoting the 2 posts so I can compare them more easily. But for the podium itself, I find it hard to see much difference to be honest. At least along Yonge Street. Edit: Not sure why the pictures in the second post just show up as attachments instead of being in the post itself.

The crazy thing is that we DID have a thaw right before all of this crazy weather started happening. Almost all of the snow had melted. And then the snow came again. And again. And again. But yes, a highly unusual / snowy winter.

I'm guessing the bridge over Little Etobicoke Creek would be from Queensway.

That wooden pole is really awful and distractingly out of place. Even more so now.

If we're going to veer into the fantasy of buying parts of the 407, I'd buy the part through Oakville/Burlington and renumber it 403, as it was supposed to be.

It's a shame we didn't get a high floor LRT. They always seem faster. But maybe I'm just tainted by how the TTC runs their streetcars and now the Finch LRT.

I have also wondered about all these condo towers going up in the middle of nowhere Oakville. Definitely better than more sprawling subdivisions though.

I don't really see what new highways the GTA needs though? Yes the highways are crowded. But that's why we're building all this transit because there's nowhere to put new highways. That's why Dougie has this dumb 401 tunnel idea. Like other than the 413 and Bradford Bypass, is there anything...

Damn that doesn't bode well for Hurontario then since we're getting the same LRVs as Finch. Ugh.

This morning and yesterday morning I noticed workers from A&B Rail doing something at Hurontario and Elm. No idea what, but looked like something rail-related, which I know is stating the obvious. Just surprising with all the snow I guess.
