To be honest, any instance of falling glass is downright frightening. I hope this is rectified quickly and dutifully.

I don't have an issue with the cladding material per se but it's the minimal amount of glass and windows on that side of the building that is more of an issue. Those photo examples from John English above look great because the glass/cladding composition is well-balanced.

I get the impression that individualism has actually taken the forefront. I hear and see youths generally say they don't want to be a slave to their job. Many say they'd rather just do what they love and strive to do it well. I see their role models to be people more like Mark Zuckerberg and...

I'm actually surprised it hasn't happened already. As much as I love spending time in Vancouver, it doesn't have nearly as diverse an economy as Toronto. If I were a wealthy foreign investor, I would sooner 'park' my money into Toronto real estate, and by extension, the GTA economy, than the...

It's nice to see the crowds interested in the UP Express. If only they could get this amount of interest and support on a normal fare day!

Please dispel the myth that you must buy a property. I think many would agree that renting sounds like the best option for you. The location you are looking at right now will be pretty active. It will also allow you to explore lots of other areas of downtown, so as DSC smartly suggested above...

I must say, that is pretty disappointing.

Further to my comment a few days ago about not being good enough anymore due to social media and my example of just merely solving a Rubik's Cube these days is no longer deemed impressive unless you can also do it in record time, we're seeing this trend in various other aspects of the younger...

Good article from John Pasalis, "Making Sense of Real Estate Bubbles". http://www.movesmartly.com/2016/02/do-real-estate-bubbles-exist.html#more

Lovely shots. All of them.

I believe, as TOphotog notes above, that the only legitimate source of sold prices is through the MLS database. Ultimately, I would imagine it'd be from a real estate brokerage who chooses to publish said information to an e-mail list of subscribers.

I may be totally simplifying a complex issue here but I think there is some fundamental truth to my particular thought. One major change with today's youth is the connectivity of everyone. It's the ease of sharing information. Whereas in the old days, your social circle was typically limited to...

Someone in the Reddit thread mentioned it's for the 1st month only or something to that effect.

Global economies are not exactly positioned for more bullishness and neither is the Canadian economy. While I'm not anticipating an economic bust, I think we're going to be sailing in rougher waters for a short period of time. Markets should pare back somewhat. I think there will still be soft...

It probably just grabbed a quick bite in Chinatown and was heading back to the clan downtown.

I'd have to agree with that. The building not only doesn't look good but that name conjures up images of the old "Oriental font" lettering that was used on Chinese restaurants over a mid-century ago. I mean, really?

My thoughts on this: Connectivity via social media and the Internet means you don't always need to be physically in the same place to be socializing. The newer generation emphasizes the value in services and experiences versus materials and ownership of things. Vehicles are expensive and new...

I think what this all means is that Toronto doesn't have a single destination hot spot where visitors unanimously go to, like many U.S. cities do. As far as streets, think Las Vegas Blvd in LV or Hollywood Blvd in LA or International Drive in Orlando or 5th Ave in NYC or Bourbon St in N'Orleans...
