    Hudson's Bay Company

    Almost all department stores have a gift registry - even target and Canadian Tire. They make a lot of sense for big events, like weddings.

    Toronto 50 Bloor Street West | 230.11m | 70s | Morguard Corporation | Pellow + Associates

    The pink canopy would match their Pacific Centre store in Vancouver though...

    I read an article somewhere about Scientology and the property it owns. Apparently a lot of it's real estate holdings are in similar, abandoned states, where scientology claims that renos of some kind are about to happen, but don't. I think the city of San Diego is suing the church for not...

    Chicago has had numerous weekends recently with 10+ shootings, and not just confined to the south side. How many shootings have happened at Eaton Centre? How many at Yorkdale? Not a lot. I don't think there's an extraordinary amount of violence happening in the esplanade/market area; I think...

    Toronto Pinnacle on Adelaide | 144.47m | 46s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    I think it's only the north elevation which is lacking the parapet. It's three sided - south, west and east.

    Downtown Yonge

    Nothing says black out drunk like waking up with a Whopper in bed, and a ketchup stain down the shirt. I hope it really is only a reno and it re-opens, perhaps with the glorious second floor back in business.

    I think stop announcements should only be made in the african clicking language, or morse code.

    Toronto Sun Life Financial Tower & Harbour Plaza Residences | 236.51m | 67s | Menkes | Sweeny &Co

    The City Target in Chicago is quite small for a Target, so I could see them, if they had the opportunity, to open a larger one in a downtown setting. There's also a Target with almost no other retail support around it in Chicago on Broadway. It's huge.

    Labeling isn't a big deal in ontario, as long as there's english, grenache is considered nice to have but not necessary. I speak from experience.

    The other problem with entering Quebec first is cost of entry. Since all computer systems, training materials, etcetera etc must be available in French, it can be a huge roadblock.

    1130 Queen St E (@ Bertmount, ?, 5s, Sedun + Kanerva)

    I guess this means Stratengers is sold? Too bad. I remember seeing Nash the Slash there. Also eating wood fired pizza on the patio. It was a good, dive-y spot.

    Toronto Hallam Towns | 13.75m | 4s | Battaglia Associates Inc

    I dunno. Wouldn't a fire make it easier for construction? They'd just be using the shell anyway, and people like the smell of burning wood, right? I think the smoke stains would give the brick more character, too. I hope it still happens.

    Toronto TCHC Block 32 Development | ?m | 41s | TCHC | KPMB

    The catholic school board in Ontario is actually based initially on Britain having to govern French Roman Catholics in the 1700's, then in 1841, a law was passed so that there would be a french catholic system guaranteed.

    Apple Store

    I think Apple would need at least double the space that the Roots store offers. They already turned down the space Sephora is currently in, prior to Sephora taking it.

    Years ago there was a rumour that Whole Foods was going to open in that space.......

    This morning it looked like renos are done, and it's ready to re-open.

    Toronto Yorkdale Shopping Centre | ?m | ?s | Oxford Properties | MMC Architecture

    I know Apple is paying percentage rent at Yorkdale. And I know Eaton Centre still does it too. I think any substantial, better mall still does percentage rent. Everyone would have to sign an NDA as well, so that no one finds out other stores' sales.

    Toronto YC Condos -- Yonge at College | 198.42m | 62s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

    Are you talking about the Toronto Hydro lot? I somehow doubt they would either sell it off to be developed, or develop it themselves.
