There is more good news. A sign maker came today to the Metro to take measurements for indoor and outdoor signage. I'm pretty convinced now that the Metro has not bailed. Update on the Sewage: They are doing a smart thing by not drilling holes in each unit for the sewage. They are instead...

There's word of a retail level "Electronic Sign" the developer has ordered to let people outside know there is an actual mall here. Curious to see where they will place it. The eyewear store has started renovations. Update: The smallest unit in the mall has hung up a sign. It will be a beauty shop.

I was at an open house today in west lansing. Went to see a 1.2 million listed single detached home. It was a very attractive home for the listing price which in the end was just a marketing gimmick. You see they list these homes at low prices to get more and more bidders and the result is the...

On closer look it seems like a window cleaning elevator. EDIT: There was a piece of green glass that had to be replaced so that elevator was for that.

They are using the sign mount of the metro as an anchor. That cable goes all the way up to the hoists used for the window cleaning. However the lines did not look like they were laid out to clean the windows. My best guess is they are demounting the mount. There are wires coming out of the...

We received great news today. Some builder representative came to the mall today to check up on progress. Spoke to him and he said Metro and LCBO are 100% coming. They just need to finish up, close up and get out of there then afterwards Metro and LCBO will move in. They will not open at the...

Whats weird is TMG putting all that specific plumbing in there when Metro likely bailed. My best guess is that Bazis contracted TMG to do the whole job back several years ago. Metro might have bailed but Bazis might be still stuck with the TMG contract. Metro's people come sometimes to the site...

It seems that they are finished with the retail plumbing. Now there is just drywall to put up again. Every space in the wall you see there takes a person 1 day to fix. They seem to have moved the plumbers to the second floor. Whats surprising to me is that LCBO would go about their renovations...

I never realized it before but some of those residential units are quite close to the exhaust vents. A nice south breeze could blow whatever the food court units are cooking right into their living rooms during the summer. Some updates: The yuki hana sushi has started up renos again. The...

Apparently the new foodcourt restaurant is not another rice noodle store. It is something called Malatang. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malatang It's basically hotpot but with skewers. Wonder how they will pull it off, maybe they boil it before serving which really isn't proper Malatang...

Look at that shampoo bottle

What i notice is that they have drilled into the concrete and put a lot of sewage piping. They are everywhere. I'd say Bazis won't be doing this if the Metro bailed. Bazis is probably smart enough to include a clause where they would only go through such expensive plumbing if Metro couldn't...

Managed to get into metro again. There is a poster on the big food court unit by the window...perhaps another Chinese noodle store? The hall the the subway has been mostly tiled.

Bazis says subway will be open late Spring. Metro & LCBO opening early Summer. Final closing letters going out in 10 days for commercial. Fingers crossed.

There is now activity over at the church. A delivery of beams have arrived.

Timmies has taken 3 of the Yonge frontage units. Edit: That foodcourt unit that I said was going to be Chinese is actually going to be Mexican food.

Good news. They are going to put drywall around the pipes making them look like pillars. The eye-wear store will start tiling soon.

To most people its going to be very stinky. If you keep a fresh durian in a room for a week you will need a cleaning crew to get the smell out. However to lucky people like me and some asians that tend to come from tropical climates it tastes better than chocolate. They say it's a special gene...

Speaking of that Tridel development a "Miss Durian" is coming soon. I am assuming this to be a specialty dessert parlor themed on the notorious Durian fruit. That one I think will do extremely well. Nothing like that in Canada at the moment. Went to a similar Durian dedicated dessert cafe in...

Most likely. More interesting is how they will add the sewage as you will likely have to drill through the concrete floor (very expensive).
