Huh????? What am I missing???? What is " 'some' " code for? Gay people? Singer/songwriters? People with crazy sisters? Montrealers who would prefer to live in Montreal over Toronto? Also, last time I looked Paris was well south of Montreal. Why are folks here so sensitive...

Toronto as a desirable hot spot in its own right or an event driven destination? What you say is all true. But both aspects are related and it is the balance that decides what the best approach would be to attracting more people back for a second, third, etc. visit. My point is a simple...

A good point. NYC itself is one of the few places in North America where many people will go not because they want to see/do something special but because they want to have a New York experience. The first time certainly will be for the sights - of which there are many, but from then on...

I was a pretty regular NYC to Toronto AC weekend round-tripper for the last 3 or 4 years, i.e. New York to Toronto once every tree or four weeks. Did this winter and summer. I can honestly say, with three exceptions noted below, the number of "true" tourists that I saw over this period could...

Ready, Aim, Fire..... Let's all shoot the messenger!! x

Probably about as idiotic as indoor hockey, tennis, track and field, curling, skating, etc. Actually, if you check the website below, you will find dozens of indoor ski hills around the world. Dubai is just unfortunate that it has lots of money and therefore attracts loads of criticism...

While posters and broken planters can be an eye sore, the various types of poles sticking up all over the place carrying sagging wires running every which way seem to be challenge number one. Without addressing this eye sore, the rest will help very little. If this problem can be...

I don't think too many people actually take a holiday in Dubai - yet, but that may well change as they develop their theme parks, museums, special events, etc. However, it is a great place place to change aircraft or take a break in the Europe/North America to Australasia trip, have a weekend...

With such a staggering display of architectural and contemporary cultural knowledge, I am sure the editors of Conde Nast would be interested in your choices for the "Seven New Architectural Wonders of the World".

Let's see what happens but I would think it is even money that Singapore Airlines got their Airbus 380 into service sooner after delivery than these folks do with some double-decker buses. Ah well...

Another Aspect Of Ttc As Landlord Certainly allowing transit authorities to benefit more directly from the often massive real estate gains they create is an idea long overdue and is a demonstrated success in places like Hong Kong. Another feature of mass transit in many cities, of course, is...

Wise Posts W While unable to comment on Taipei, Singapore is a very interesting case offering many lessons in how to manage and sell a city. In addition to those factors already mentioned, Singapore - without a single world class attraction, is very good at re-inventing itself with great...

Some good ideas and in many ways the PATH issue reflects part of a larger frustration in TO. There are so many ways that aspects of life in the city could be improved - at both "big picture" and site specific levels. Yet there is unfortunately a lack of collective will/leadership to make...

My friendly Voice of Reality, if you characterize criticism of a developer that sets up a website like the TLS folks have as "bitch, moan and complain" then you have set the bar for what we can expect in TO so low that any sort of reasonable discourse is impossible.

This is truly scary - like watching a train wreck unfold. I have seen mom and pop delis that have better websites than this. Unfortunately the folks who "green-lighted" this site - someone had to say OK, let's go - are also the ones who are planning the future of this development...

n: Since you ask in such a charmingly patronizing manner, I can only respond - no, I'm not kidding and yes, I have taken transit in Bangkok. My experiences are that getting from point A to point B - whether by rail, taxi, motorbike taxi, river boat but never tuk tuk - is generally much...

So true...sadly. If there were a local business/merchants association that really cared about attracting customers to the area and saw TLS as a draw to pull people into their stores, they would have had their own crew out immediately. But, just like tearing up concrete and laying down a...

Oh...gosh. Hmmmm... Think, think, think.. Oh gosh, hmmm , good third world transport... Bangkok?

A "thirteen year old boy or something...." (with) "a real hard-on." Really. I must have also missed the obvious details where this sort of comment is regarded as an acceptable part of the give and take on Toronto and construction going on in Toronto. If nothing else, it's just too...
