    Rare Maps of Toronto

    This is one I happened across some years ago, from 1894. Not sure how rare it is though.

    Toronto Sherway Gardens Expansion | ?m | 2s | Cadillac Fairview | DIALOG

    LOL. H&M and Zara would be the budget stores in Sherway.

    Hudson's Bay Company

    Even in men's clothing, a "34" doesn't always mean 34 inches anymore. God, how I wish stores would just label clothing with actual UNITS of measurement and stop wasting everyone's time with these ridiculous random sizes, vanity or no.

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Well, it's only recently that all the GO buses had Presto. Also, I don't think Presto concession fares are up and running everywhere. So there is still some reason for people to hold onto tickets.

    Jack Layton 1950-2011 R.I.P.

    I would think it deliberate. "Partner" has always meant a relationship between equals, but "husband" or "wife" not necessarily so.

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    If there is a limit, it's much much longer than 1 month. I've had money on my card for several months (7 months, maybe?) and it hasn't gone away.

    Corporate Presence in Toronto.

    There's also a lot of electronics/appliance HQs in Mississauga: Nikon, Canon, Samsung, LG, HP, Sharp, Fujifilm, Panasonic, GE, Whirlpool...

    New Urban Toronto - Post Your Comments Here

    I also find the light blue hard to read. The forum navigation menu links are also pretty low-contrast, especially when you hover on the pull-down menus. But generally I think it looks good.

    Mississauga Absolute World | 169.77m | 56s | Cityzen | MAD architects

    They look even more unreal with the sun setting behind them -- the balconies trace a glowing silhouette.

    Toronto Toronto City Hall and Nathan Phillips Square | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | Perkins&Will

    Toronto First Canadian Place Rejuvenation | 298.08m | 72s | Brookfield | MdeAS Architects

    Also, anyone who's ever adjusted their monitor settings should know about colour temperature. Anyway, in a few years FCP will be covered in dirt and that ought to mitigate the minty-ness. Maybe they were thinking ahead. :)

    Toronto First Canadian Place Rejuvenation | 298.08m | 72s | Brookfield | MdeAS Architects

    Arguing over the internet about nuances of colour is a total crapshoot. Unless you're all running the same monitors on similar machines, have them calibrated identically, and are looking at them from the same angle. This is why there's an entire industry devoted to colour matching and...

    Mississauga U of T: UTM Terrence Donnelly Health Sciences Complex | ?m | 4s | U of T | Kongats

    South Asians do make up a significant chunk of the local population -- something like 20% in Mississauga and 30% in Brampton. They're not foreign to Mississauga.
