Sorry about the poor exposure - the lighting conditions were abysmal at that time of day, but I'll take some better photos in the coming weeks:

Crane poking out in the skyline from around Bloor and Church:

Updates Updates (the first two date a couple weeks back, the last one was taken this morning):

Do you mean St. Joseph Street? If so, I think I know which one you're talking about, and I agree that it's damn good!

Is that the apartment building on the north-east side of Yonge and College? I can't tell for sure, but it seems familiar.

... or perhaps even decent ones. Post your picks. The obvious pick for me (since I pass by it twice a day) is the parking garage on Hayden/Charles just east of Yonge. Although it doesn't compeletely disguise its primary function, it nonetheless blends in rather nicely with the surrounding...

Oops, my bad. I thought I saw something resembling the beginnings of a crane, but I suppose it was some sort of digging apparatus.

Methinks I saw a crane rising this afternoon.

Aye, I wandered in there one night looking to buy a bottle of coke (I had a long day at work and needed something to mix a couple shots of rum with), and it was truly filthy mcnasty.

Church of the Redeemer? I rather like that one - the gates have a very Tim Burtonesque feel about them.

Sadly, the building above replaced this: Such a shame.

crazy - I hail from that same year. Wedd's (or should I say Weedd's, after that small bust in my last year).

a.k.a. old boys? :) what year did you guys graduate?

I'm confused. You'd prefer a transparent glass building composed of a medley of burgundy, chocolate brown, fuscia, bright green and argyle curtains with some tin foil thrown in (okay, maybe the latter is more amenable to subsidized housing, not the Ritz), rather than something that maybe clashes...

There are many buildings in the city (mine included) that have restrictions on the curtain colour visible from outside the building, such as colours limited to white or off-white (pretty much indistinguishable from a distance behind a pane of glass). Of course, white curtains are not always...

We actually have plenty of handsome Art Deco buildings: Princess Margaret Hospital (formerly Ontario Hydro building), Toronto Postal Station K, Tip Top Tailor Building, and of course the extravagantly opulent water treatment facility R.C. Harris plant all come to mind

Methinks that honour belongs to Sydney Smith at UofT

It's important to remember that an expressway doesn't simply wipe out whatever buildings previously existed in its alignment. Constructs such as highways, hydro corridors, railways, etc. extend a much greater zone of influence into their adjacent vicinities than the physical space that they...

So that's what all those ostentatiously-dressed people were doing around there. I also noticed that both the Rolls-Royce dealership (beside Hazelton Lanes) and Birk's at Manulife appeared to be hosting VIP functions (the latter had lined the entire stretch of Balmuto with black, imposing limos...
