    Church-Wellesley Village

    That's The Paxton condo, your gold if you can get a unit in there. The Cosmopolitan condo (25 Maitland St., another building with some great suites) is also undergoing an exterior reno., they are painting the concrete an off white. I don't understand the move to paint the exteriors of condos...

    Toronto Aura at College Park | 271.87m | 78s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

    I caught them on this morning at 5:20am, they weren't on an hour before that (I smoke on the balcony & I face Aura 1/2 mile away).

    Originally she did, for some years, but it's been through one or two owners since.

    Toronto Casa | 147.52m | 46s | Cresford | a—A

    About half of the white lights were already burned out & it was looking like hell. I wonder if these are LED? Anyway, IMO they illuminate much nicer when you see them in person and I'd bet money that the change was made because of the PH owners having such bright lighting on their terrace &...

    Toronto Aura at College Park | 271.87m | 78s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

    Must have been in the morning, they haven't been on at night since early last fall.

    Toronto Bloor Street Revitalization | ?m | ?s | Bloor-Yorkville BIA | architectsAlliance

    All but one of the London Planes planted in April('ish) of 2014 in Barbara Hall Park (formally Cawthra Square Park) survived. One, near the sidewalk, was looking like it wasn't going to make it by July or August of last summer. That said, it leaves me to think it's about trees tolerating salt...

    Captain John's Restaurant (1975-2012)

    Has anyone read what, if any, plans there are for updating and integrating the Yonge St. slip into the central waterfront? It seems I've read some ideas/plans from Waterfront Toronto, but can't find anything on it.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I saw him lifting up his moo-moo shirt that day at City Hall, it looked like a bandage underneath for the very brief glimpse we got. And he was high on painkillers, and that's fine. He said (paraphrasing) "... I have a drain in to remove food..." he meant fluid. The clip repeated a half hour...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Rob Ford live: "... I'm going to move September maybe back up to the end of June, I'm going crazy". "...I want to save the Gardiner...". "...I'm wearing a girdle for another three months, I have a drain here still taking some of the food out [he means fluid, he's stoned]..." TMI! He's...

    Rob Ford spotted at City Hall. Let the post cancer selfie tour begin.

    Toronto Nicholas Residences | ?m | 35s | Urban Capital | Core Architects

    As terrific as these photographs are Nicholas Residences looks better in person. Great podium, and the balconies create some interest though I'm not crazy about the glass.

    Church-Wellesley Village

    A friend & I meet at Timothy's every month or so, there's very few people there until around 5 or 6. I think your right, Second Cup killed them with the patio space which is busy about March through November. Plus there's a Timmy's at Yonge & Wellesley now, not sure if that location affects...

    Church-Wellesley Village

    It could be early in the process, if true. Just thought I'd put it out there and see if anyone had heard anything similar. So time will tell. I'm also hearing that Timothy's Coffee at Alexander & Church is closing soon, something of an institution for the last 15 years. It kind of became...

    Church-Wellesley Village

    I didn't start a thread because I'm not sure, but a friend told me that the S/E corner of Church & Carlton (399 Church) is coming down and going condo. The restaurant closed and ACT is apparently moving. Has anyone heard anything about this?

    Toronto Church of Scientology | ?m | 8s

    Nope, I mistyped, I'll correct that. Didn't know it was on iTunes, HBO Canada (Bell Media) ain't touching it apparently. Random House didn't publish the book here, but I see it's on Amazon through Vintage. http://canadalandshow.com/article/why-canadians-cant-watch-hbos-scientology-doc

    Toronto Church of Scientology | ?m | 8s

    I like the building too, as is, and oh how I miss Brothers - home to countless 4pm breakfasts for 20 some-odd years. Interesting that the "Going Clear" HBO doc. (and book, and Bill Maher episode with the author) are all mysteriously missing in Canada. The Lightbox cinema has the cahunas to...

    The Uptown - Hayward layout

    I agree, beautiful common and entrance areas. Benito's suite is an excellent floorplan (IMO) - most of the upper suites are very well designed and to my liking. The decorating, art and furniture is just beautiful. Well done!

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    The morphine drip is always timed so the patient can't overdose. Gives them something to do, pressing the button and waiting for the next blast. That's all you think about for a few days, when not sleeping. I've also been through a situation where nothing could take away the pain, not even a...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I know that different families roll different ways, though I can't pretend to understand it. I saw Mama Ford stroll in with Mikey on CP24 around 5:30. My mother would have been there with me at 6:30am and would be anxiously sitting in a waiting room, waiting. With my brothers. For 10 hours...

    Toronto Bloor Street Revitalization | ?m | ?s | Bloor-Yorkville BIA | architectsAlliance

    Are we sure the London Planes are all dead? I haven't been along here lately but some trees only began to bud a week & a half ago, and some trees only started getting leaves this past week. Could they be behind in budding? Also, am I on drugs or did I not see those silica cells or whatever...
