    Toronto 280 Jarvis Street | 74.7m | 22s | Antorisa Investments | Giannone Petricone

    Off topic, but I don't see a thread - briefly, everything torn down on site, soil removed for remediation, old tanks removed, new tanks installed. Gas pumping stations have been relocated slightly and an "On the Go" type store being built at the corner, including a Timmy's in there. Should be...

    Toronto St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    From my POV (BAC blocks much of the view) I can only see the top 1/4 of Lightline, and it looks like bugs in the strip are finally being ironed out. A couple of the effects work, several others don't yet. But it looks like they are finally committed to getting this thing working over the past...

    Church-Wellesley Village

    Cannabis Culture opened today at 4pm (Friday Sept. 30) and there was a lineup waiting to go in, I think this is the chain of shops operated by Marc Emery and his wife. I don't indulge, however I'm pro-pot, but I thought these places were getting busted as quickly as they opened? I also read...

    Harbourfront

    Definitely. There have been a few more "food choices" popping up, but one has to pay attention to find a place. The food tents at Ontario Square are there, but it makes me a little nervous for hygienic reasons. On another matter, all the coloured LED lighting under the wave decks are all off...

    Toronto Berczy Park Revitalization | ?m | ?s

    Barbara Hall Park (formally Cawthra Park) is a stone throw from where I live. It was redone and reopened two years ago, the grass is ruined for several weeks after being closed off for a beer garden during Pride, this year it hasn't recovered due to little rainfall, the LED lights were...

    Church-Wellesley Village

    I read that properties have been assembled on the north-west corner of Church & Wellesley to re-develop. Ho's, in the same building as the now closed Rexall, is moving to where the dollar store used to be next to Pizza Pizza. The Doctor on the second floor has also closed up shop. So...

    Toronto Manulife Centre Podium and Streetscape Renewal | 9.75m | 2s | Manulife Real Estate | MdeAS Architects

    The staff rooms could perhaps be re-located under the raked seating of #7 & 8, providing there are no structural issues with where they are located now, and full access to these cinemas is a no brainer. The two original cinemas opened in 1974, it's kind of surprising that they aren't...

    Toronto Manulife Centre Podium and Streetscape Renewal | 9.75m | 2s | Manulife Real Estate | MdeAS Architects

    I heard that cinemas #7 & #8 (the original cinemas #1 & #2) are going to be re-raked for stadium seating. That leads me to wonder if the roof isn't going to be raised, there's not a whole lot of height in those two cinemas. I'd like to see them go one step further, take the wall down between...

    Toronto 411 Church | 121.91m | 38s | CentreCourt | IBI Group

    If one was to follow this reasoning, the blame is on the developer, not Toronto citizens.

    Toronto Karma Condos | 165.8m | 50s | Lifetime | a—A

    Has there been any information or discussion about a light feature inside the mechanical level?

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    Today Tory said "respect". The flowers on his desk haven't wilted yet. Next Council meeting in a month Ward 2 will be debated, by election or appointment, and voted on by Council.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    The Rob Ford story is not over. Much is yet to be learned, and seen. And a streetcar route to be named after him (St. Clair... shhhh!).

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I'd be curious to know where the hundreds of "Ford Nation" and "Rob Ford" small paper flags came from. Were there boxes of them at NPS?

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Watching CityNews, the *eight* pallbearers could barely manage carrying the coffin into City Hall. Doug is happily providing selfies.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    FB feeds me posts from my *real* friends and family, news via news sites that I trust and a few hundred other subjects that interest me - it's my daily news & information feed, and I spend a good hour in the morning & an hour at night consuming it all. I lost my 13 year old Labrador Retriever...
