I can't put words in their mouths and verify that "they don't care about you" if you don't pay but I can quote their own mission statement to "connect communities". A problem with Toronto transportation is how agencies/departments can be indifferent to other forms of transportation not directly...

Probably giving too much credit to them but Metrolinx, as a government entity that's tasked with transporting people across the province, should definitely care. End of the day the people they serve aren't paying passengers but the residents of Ontario.

Access to the platforms is one thing but pedestrians who want to simply go between King and Queen are now forced to walk an extended U shape, made even longer by only having stairs facing West. Having Abell and Joe Shuster being connected in a straight shot was a nice convenience of the...

Fences are down and sidewalks on West and South side are fully open, except for a bit near the building entrance.

Thought maybe, just maybe, we’d get copper coloured cladding for those angled columns

Love how Brutalist this podium looks.

I was very surprised to see that too, that aroma is often packed. I don’t understand what these landlords think is the endgame

I’m sure in they same way they’ve flattened the crown and removed the curved tower portion, the rounded glass will also be removed soon

Demolition is ongoing, lots of activity today. Guess I’m gonna have a decent view of this one too

Can’t say I’m a huge fan of how they cladded the mechanical floors, but at least they did.

Are there any old renders of what Parade looked like before Concord’s VE?

Would’ve been amazing to have a PATH connection to The Well. Hopefully as Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Union Park, and the parcel on Front and Spadina are developed over the next decades PATH extensions are considered. Would’ve been cool to see Nobu and 55 Mercer connected to Metro Hall...

Some condos mandate white window coverings. Maybe management here can mandate everyone go to Dollorama and pick up a few of these to help them out.

What’s better than arches? Lit arches.

Oct 29, West facing facade.

Honestly, curse the UT-er who taught me what oil-canning was. It's like bad kerning, once you leam to see it, you can never unsee it.

What returning to this thread must've felt like:

What’s really maddening is I believe if you were to sit have a conversation with every individual architect at any of our banal local firms they would recognize work like this is subpar and destructive to the city… but somehow after design by committee and accountants they consistently churn out...

Multiplexes are one place where I want bigger and better, the only reason I’d watch a movie in theatres is because I want the best picture and the best sound. The current Scotiabank Theatre has one of the top IMAX projection systems in the country and once it’s downsized it won’t be the same...
