    Toronto Broadview Hotel | 28.65m | 7s | Streetcar | ERA Architects

    "The video showed fine brickwork " Skeezix. The video primarily shows the stonework; huge difference between Stone Masonry and Brick Masonry. (It is quite obvious to me, that Hume knows little about building construction, as his Gloss-over of any real reporting shows; or he is just sloppy.)...

    Toronto Broadview Hotel | 28.65m | 7s | Streetcar | ERA Architects

    "Also not quite sure how Hume became the Star's "preeminent scribe"." As noted above, The Toronto Star, and again I quote from their own website - "The National Newspaper Award-winner has also written an " TORSTAR. would lead one to believe that Chris Hume is absolutely Top Drawer; might even be...

    Toronto Broadview Hotel | 28.65m | 7s | Streetcar | ERA Architects

    This Bozo goes on about the fine brickwork, but of course, doesn't mention as to why; very fine mortar joints, etc, etc, all the while videoing the stonework. BTW Mr Hume, the name Jilly's was the last of it's numerous namings; do your DD. J T

Having been responsible for over 1,250,000 square feet of Industrial/Commercial Property, I do know about The Subject; the "K" refers to the Kelvin Scale of lighting...

    Evocative Images of Lost Toronto

    On one of my favourite subjects, that being Food, we, you, Oscar, Clint, Mustapha and I should partake of the Fish & Chips being served at 414 Roncesvalles Ave.; great food, popular price, licenced, rear patio.

    Evocative Images of Lost Toronto

    "At your service, JT" Prof Goldie. I like it already! (Although, they usually presented them as cut at the hip singles.) There was the odd time that they were not on The Menu; the reason being, "not up-to Standard.", unlike what The Mermaid had served; only ate there twice; The First and The...

    "Neat. I didn't know we'd had a Waldorf Astoria.' Not really ever known as being "neat" and certainly not comparable in any way to their much more famous namesake in New York. They, there being two buildings actually, 80 and 88 Charles Street, 80 being The Waldorf and 88 being The Astoria...

    Miscellany Toronto Photographs: Then and Now

    "Any connection to the George's BBQ on Dundas at Pembroke?" UserNameToronto. The number of times that I was in there, and that wasn't too often, they seemed to be a Family Operation. For that reason alone, I would conclude the names of the two restaurants were just the names of the two...
