And here's the new master plan: https://torontopearson.com/masterplan/##

This is so dumb. There was a KFC at Coxwell for years, and now it's gone. So there's a new one opening up a few blocks west, and it represents a corporatization of the neighbourhood.

The other thing you have to consider is access to offsite storage. Part of the reason Apple took the space at Yorkdale was that storage is now part of the store. The Eaton Centre store has a large stock room right off the store. That plays into the decision making too. No one wants to truck...

Oh, I know Apple is looking and has been offered larger spaces. But Apple is super picky about its space, in terms of visibility, location, lighting, and all that jazz. So far nothing has worked for them. I also know they are definitely not leaving the mall, as it's in the top 10 revenue...

Rendez Vous at Linsmore is quite good. There's a bunch of places past Greenwood, and they all seem busy a lot of times.

There's also Lake Inez now, which is pretty awesome, and expands the hipster places to go in the hood.

My dad told me that back in the day, one of the barriers to the east end was hydro. The east end was on 30hz power vs 60hz in the west end. Not sure how true it is, but it was one of those things said about the east end till the grid was upgraded.

Wouldn't the red ring be due to CN, since their colours were red, white and black?

I kinda like this building, pre natural gas line being run up the side secured by cable ties. That just seems stupid.

I appreciate that they're keeping the rebuilt building at the corner of Granby and Church as shitty as it was in the beginning. Right down to the fine details of the low quality windows.

The Ritz is a filipino restaurant. Family run, and quite good. We go there for longsilog breakfasts. Awesome and cheap.

Double D's at Gerrard and Marjory just opened, and does Chicago-style deep dish. That combined with Descendant just down the street, and I'm getting ready to have a wardrobe that is entirely sweatpants-based.

I'm curious too, as it was for sale for 2.95mil. The only thing I found online was this planning doc for Oben Flats, which mentions the address and that they're seeking a three story non-residential addition over the garage...

Greenwood is now turnstile free, awaiting Presto install.

I found this with the googles. It was hard though. It was always such an ugly building. photo-toronto-dundas-and-mutual-streetcar-going-west-warwick-hotel-belmont-house-b-a-gas-station-right-side-background-edited-from-r-hill-photo-1960s.jpg

Apparently the Tom Jones was the original Grand and Toy, back in the day.

Oh yea! Flagship store underground with a stainless steel ladder as the entrance. Can't wait.

I thought that another difference between streetcars and LRTs was LRTs have doors on both sides.

I live around the corner from it, and it's suddenly come to life. The foundation has been poured now, and there's an active crew on site. I thought it was abandoned, since it sat for so long with nothing happening.

The mushrooms are there, at the back of the hospital reading down to Riverdale park. Quite accessible, and look kinda cool.
