The Absinthe was in my college, Winters. Many's the night I'd stay there until last call, stumble across the quad to bed, then go right back the next morning to get a cheese bagel and a pint of Coke to try and shake off the damage.

In addition to the other, more substantive critiques, I'd just like to make sure we don't miss that 5468796's proposal brings us "Bent Buddies", which sounds like the world's lamest LGBTQ dating app.

Welp, I guess that explains why they didn't bother lining up the brick precast with the support columns.

It's all one building – the space between the two barrel vaults are a central atrium; the ground floor will hold the north market.

Building the span in steel means it can be lifted into place in-between CP trains, without interrupting freight operations. Doing it in concrete would mean setting up forms, rebar work, pouring, curing, tearing down forms, all of which is so much more disruptive I assume it would be a...

I guess they're not going with CanadianNational's truly inspired idea to put the mock tudor on top of the tower, like a hat. To each their own...

I've always wondered what the deal was with the little one-story guy with the giant "M" painted on front. Just one of those fun, inexplicable things.

It's those French Mint-coloured desks! The rest of it feels like a Joey restaurant. Just a bland, anonymous any-place.

I cannot stop laughing at the "Gustav Mahler" graffitti. Oh no! If we let Metrolinx build this guideway then we'll be overrun by disaffected teens and their notorious love of early modernist composers

Happy to have another mid-sized concert venue, and the interiors look all right. The exterior's serving me "upmarket gentlemen's club" but maybe that's exactly the vibe they were aiming for

It's a giant beehive! Fun. I'm docking it one point for calling it "Bee Research Centre" when "Beesearch" is sitting right there

You just have to follow the cats' line-of-sight :)

You darn kids stay off isaidso's lawn!

I'd be shocked if they didn't. A logo is in some ways a small part of a big corporate rebrand (though it usually gets the most scrutiny), but it's still table stakes to have a bunch of variant logos for different contexts: full-colour, greyscale, straight black-and-white, reversed, one that...

There's the "Terry Fox Miracle Mile", which loops around Canoe Landing park in Cityplace (two loops = one mile). There's ten lightboxes along the route that have photos of meaningful objects/people/moments from the Marathon of Hope (his arrival in Toronto, one of his worn-through socks, the...

You mean the Pemberton site to the west (with the orange tarps)? That's a completely separate project, different developer. As far as I can remember there's no provision for a concourse level in either project, so no underground connection to each other.

So I should stop holding out hope for the triumphant return of one Charles Entertainment Cheese, then

To nitpick: the Around the Bay 30K is a running race, not a bike race. (Although I often wish I could hop on a bike around the 20K mark!) These pics are a lot of fun – thanks for posting them! The attention to detail is impressive; hopefully they can hang on until tourism is a thing again.

I think I'm with Edward on this one. The cladding is a let-down, making the building look much more conservative than it actually is. Some bright colour – or at least some variation in shades – would help highlight the wild angles, rather than disguise them.
