    Amazon Second HQ

    This may be one of those times where it's good that our mayor was a former CEO of a large technology(ish) company. I'm sure that at the very least he knows what a large corporation would be looking for and would have a better idea how to sell it.

    How about Downsville Park? There's a bunch of random things there right now which could be repurposed/rezoned and lots of space. And it's right on the subway AND a 25 minute drive to Pearson.

    Toronto Union Park | 303.26m | 58s | Oxford Properties | Pelli Clarke Pelli

    I think until we see actual plans of this project it is too early to really say anything about it (as noted the pictures state clearly that the illustrations are for massing/illustration only). Just because a big name is involved does not guarantee it's going to be good. If we're going to...

    Is there a SINGLE non-glass box going up in the city at the moment?

    I would say most of the new buildings going up on the St. Lawrence Market area are not glass blocks, except for L Tower.

    Toronto 50 Bloor Street West | 230.11m | 70s | Morguard Corporation | Pellow + Associates

    I think the design looks good. It has a look that probably won't look idiotic 10 years from now as too many of our new towers these days have.

    London on the Esplanade Condos (Cityzen) - Real Estate -

    Well I hope it vacumned out that awful smell of rotting whatever coming from the sewers in this area, but I highly doubt it. Glad to finally get a good night's sleep though!

    London on the Esplanade Condos (Cityzen) - Real Estate -

    Anyone else notice the really annoying mechanical hum that keeps going on and off for the past week on the north-west side of the building? It's waking me up at all times of night. I wonder where it's coming from. St. Lawrence Centre ceiling heating maybe?

    Markham World on Yonge | ?m | 31s | Liberty Development | Kirkor Architects

    Man I haven't been up there for a month and look what happens. Looks like Galleria is moving across the street. Most importantly though, does anyone know what happened to that awesome stand in front of Galleria? It's the only place in Toronto I know of that sold Taiyaki (red bean filled fish...

    IKEA: hardest piece you've assembled?

    I'd like to chime in on the PAX wardrobe as well. The damn thing is extremely heavy, requires two people to assemble (not to mention taking out of the car is ridiculous as it's huge AND heavy). And of course because you have to assemble it lying flat but eventually have it standing up, you need...

    Rossi promises traffic tunnel

    When I read about this yesterday, all I could think was... not even the most crazy forumers have ever come up with a plan this crazy, this stupid, and this unrealistic. Quite an achievement.

    Mosque/Community Centre near Ground Zero - your thoughts?

    To be honest, a LOT of people have said similar comments, including Glenn Beck himself.

    Any indie coffee fans out there?

    Was reading on Toronto life about this cool new thing that someone put together. http://www.torontolife.com/daily/daily-dish/caffeine-high/2010/08/27/the-best-way-to-get-cheap-coffee-at-manic-i-deal-crema-and-more/ Looks like they managed to get 24 different coffee places downtown to...

    LOL from the title I thought this was about the Princess Margaret Hospital lottery's show house...
