Ok for this post I'm reaching towards the knowledge of Old Old Old School Junctionians. Being interested in the History of the Junction, I purchased the amazing book "The Leader and Recorder: History of the Junction" (available at the Library on Annette & heavily recommended!) a while ago. And...

How many floors are we up to here?

So I was checking out the area recently at night and I saw the Channel Zero studio in operation with nice big windows (East side of Keele and Dundas)...seemed really cool, sort of like snooping on City Tv or something. Was this operation (Channel Zero) always here? I guess this renovation was in...

Yeah I'm also quite curious about wallpaper. What are some stores downtownish to check out samples/ideas? Thanks!

thanks! any experience with ordering from them in the past? (reputable related etc)

I keep thinking how different state of mind some people who purchased here like 3 years ago would feel moving in next year. Would be like someone who purchased a spot on Ossington 3-5 years ago only to arrive in the neigborhood next year. I mean in terms of demographics, is it mostly people who...

anyone know where i could get an Eames chair reproduction? what's the the price range for them and where can you get them? how is the quality of a reproduction compared to the original? thanks in advance for any insights.

First of all, I'd make everyone wear those "Hello My Name is" name tags. I can imagine if some had the tag on and they scribbled the name "Bob" on it. Me: Hey Bob, good morning! Bob: Sungs, go @$## yourself. Me: It takes two to @#$# buddy. Bob: I'm not your buddy guy. Me: I'm not your guy...

If I had the money, I'd ressurect old chains and on each corner of keele and dundas, I'd have a Bargain Harolds, Beckers, Woolco and a Miracle Foodmart :D Anyone have pics of the Junction at night or on a rainy day? I think that would look sweet.

I was thinking recently, given that the Junction seems to be an "up and coming area", and the trend of condos these days, besides the "Village by High Park" project on Heinztman, what other sections of the Junction would be feasible for a condo project? i'm thinking the old Mcbride is out of...

ya seems like an eventual no brainer. that spot has to be lucrative. but i think right now they are taking advantage of the restoration assistance from the junction business community. http://breakingprojects.com/junctioneer/?p=4786

is it the guy that did those scooter-headed figurines around queen west and liberty village/king west, along the lines of the banksy thing? if so, that may be a better indication of gentrification in the junction than a starbucks :p

ya, you know what, i don't think the world is going to end if a starbucks/second cup arrives, as long as some of the ma's and pa's places stick around. and ya the money mart and galaxy donuts are good spots for something else. a decent bar/lounge/cafe suits the place. speaking of...

awesome pics! is one day enough to check it out?

out of curiousity...which corner of keele dundas do u guys suspect will be the most likely spot for a future starbucks or second cup? north west, north east, or south east? not saying im pulling for it, but seems inevitable in the long run... side note, eye weekly has this profile of the...

sorry, just for clarification, at this point in construction it starts from cariboo and ends where?

so awesome...this 'hood is full of awesomeness.
