A shame, that was a missed opportunity. Isn't that where a few million went, to rehabilitate the underground garage slab? Respectfully, nope. Below, College Park, May 10 2009 - it was a late spring, many deciduous trees didn't have leaves yet. The last photo is June 23 2009. Sorry for...

Berczy is wonderful, an odd park between two lanes of traffic but it has a "friendly" feel to it, and I've enjoyed sitting there people-watching - it "works". Queen's Park should be completed by fall, and enjoyed next year - it looks promising with what needs to be done there. I believe the...

I walked around & sat in the park about a week and a half ago, and I greatly disliked it. There's more space being used now so it appears bigger than it used to be, but it's an oppressive place to walk into and sit. No fun. There's not enough green that I'd hope for, too much concrete (pavers...

I'm really pleased that interesting and salvageable facades at 363-365 and 367 Yonge, 381 and 385-391 Yonge Street are saved. Save for the demolished buildings in between 367 and 381 Yonge, it will keep some character along this strip of the YSL development, and along Gerrard St.

Shesh, I walked by last night & it was all covered in tarp, who knew what was really going on behind there! A line of windows higher up, maybe, I really like the unbroken material that will be installed. Now if only this could be done to The Bay at Yonge & Bloor, though it's much taller than...

This building is such a huge win, except it blocks most of my views of downtown bank towers, which of course was inevitable. The rectangular honeycomb balconies were designed and executed with such precision, I can't find any flaws. In the morning and evening when the honeycomb balconies catch...

This board will be fine, the *last* board with angled monitors, two rows on the right side of it, was an OCD nightmare.

Demolition/construction started in 1973, the mall, The Bay, hotel, apartments & cinemas opened in late winter/spring 1976.

Fire at Radio City, south tower floor 26. Fire confined to one unit that broke around 4am this morning, no injuries. .

Meeting, Dec. 6th 7 - 9pm - https://strategycorp.com/625-church-street-redevelopment/

This strip is zoned lowrise between Charles & Wood Sts, as per the The North Downtown Yonge Planning Framework adapted by Council a few years back. The developer consulted with the community on the podium, with not a word, rendering or answer of what was being built above. There's also an...

It would take a restoration for the front facade, it's not in great shape and has several layers of paint over it, so $$$. The original 1919 auditorium was torn down & rebuilt around 2009-2010'ish, so there's not much left here.

I have these dated as 1956, but I believe this section stood until the late 70's. The photo with the higher building in the background on Bay St. was not part of Eaton's College Park, I believe.

I live here, we got this news 3 or 4 weeks ago. At that time the plans hadn't yet been submitted to the City. Currently we have a roof top pool with walk out to a sun deck, small gym, change rooms & closed saunas, they are offering up new spaces for residents - large gym, party room, movie...

Small units. Perfect for the Uni students it will likely house. This building is acceptable when close by, but from a distance - disaster. Anyway, this happened this morning. It was like a fire-hose spraying from an open access area on the north side of the building. The water sprayed in a...

Casa changes light colour randomly since they moved to LED, CHAZ changes colours every few seconds & The Met's wind gauge LED has been broken for months again. The lights on the north (shorter) tower at Murano has been off the past few nights, I presume residents in the taller south tower...

I like them too. I like roofs lit up so long as they are not art components. They are indeed blue, I incorrectly said purple. The colour came out wrong with the iPhone snap.

Last night the south Murano tower lit up for the first time with purple at the top of the building, tonight both Murano towers are illuminated at the top. Centre of photo, looks pink but it's purple (iPhone snap).

One of the few remaining video stores in the city, 7 & 24 Video is closing at the end of January. More trouble in the neighbourhood with some clientele at Cannabis Culture. A stakeholder and owner Marc Emery met, Emery has committed to better safety oversight, sensitivity training with staff...

I like the top half, and the lighting - I'd like it more if it could change colours and dim a bit. To my eyes Aura looks best when viewed from the south.
