Worth noting here because so many of you talk about the development at VMC: Today I passed by the Home Outfitters store only to spot multiple "Store Closing" signs on nearly all the glass panes at their front entrances. That will make the building completely vacant in a few months. Also, on...

Today, the Home Outfitters store has plastered dozens of "Store Closing" signs on all the glass panes of its front entrances. They also put up laser-printed signs saying washrooms are for customers only.

When Best Buy closed down their Future Shops, they had a contractor go to all the closed stores to remove the signs, during the time when the east side of this particular store was inaccessible. So they just left it there.

What's good enough for astronauts on spacewalks is good enough for us, too.

There's something else odd in the photo itself. The bowling alley sign says, "120 L...", which I'm imagining says 120 LANES, but how could that be possible? So it must be a street name beginning with L. Anyone have ideas?

Might you have meant 1963 instead of 1983? So happy you're back!

Are you audibly shivering throughout your videos? :-)

Lots of missing ceiling tiles in that photo. The outside roof cladding is also still missing quite a few tiles. My guess is they had quite a few tiles that needed refitting or remanufacture.

Yes, that's a complete reversal. I noted two things: they mentioned twice about it opening in 2018, and they did not mention exactly when in 2018. Compared to how the Viva station construction has been going these last few months, the pace of this bus terminal build is abysmal. Many times when I...

I can visualize the signs once construction is done: DO NOT WALK ON GLASS CANOPY. But if you do, please wear hospital slippers. (That way you'll already be prepared for the hospital.)

More likely closer to the $12 charged by KPMG for their lot and garage. However, during the VMC open house a Smart Centres rep told me they're negotiating the rate down to five or six dollars. Also, it's completely up in the air what's going to happen with the Wal-Mart parking lot. Ever since...

Hmm. I believe train shed is two words, not one. My dyslexic eyes led me to read "tarnished", which just happens to be a very appropriate anagram of "trainshed".

Let's think about this practically. TTC has a rule that no track should have more than a _% slope. Assuming the York University station couldn't be located anywhere else, the track had to be _ m underground because it passes under some existing buildings. I guess York U could have chosen an...

I guess you never tried knocking on that wall around the doors or you would have realized that it is temporary hoarding. For the life of me, I can't figure why they wasted money painting the hoarding the same finish colour as the rest of the concourse. Look at the photo again and notice the lack...

Can't, because there are no crossover tracks at York University.

Oh, is that what Ugly Dukling is going to be? :-)

This has been discussed quite a bit already on the TYSSE thread. Today there is still no agreement with TTC on reduced fares. Based on lack of forthrightness on Metrolinx's part, I assume they're still trying to negotiate. Whether that's true or not, I believe that ML does not want to be...

I appreciate every such photo! Has anyone got any info on how they're going to construct this canopy over the east moat while still permitting pedestrian traffic? My guess is they're going to build it in two or three stages, finishing the first stage, and then rerouting pedestrians under it in...

And at the very bottom of the FAQ YRT makes it very clear that passengers transferring to the TTC subway must pay full fare.
