Isn't the Gardiner supposed to shift north here?

^^^ Yeah but that applies more to the boom in residential construction. Office construction is tied more to economic trends like interest rates and inflation and so forth. I think new office towers won't be happening for a while. There's too much economic/geopolitical uncertainly for the...

June 3, 2022 It looks like this iconic view of the CN Tower will be no more.

Oh, boy. That comment might get you in trouble with some posters here.😬

A "safe space" around a dead tree and non-native trees meeting identitarian criteria as "native." Yep, that's a university campus in 2022. 🤣

I'm waiting for stuff to be added to the tower to make it more exciting...

Hopefully, that coat of grey is just the primer.

I can't wait for the heritage facades to be revealed. Hopefully, it'll be any day now.

Ah, I see the pix now. Maybe the cornice was stripped off before the 1950s but the point is moot.

What I'd like to see are pix from decades past. I'm thinking there once was a cornice here that was stripped off.

Does our climate allow for outdoor escalators?
