Why would Toronto need another stadium at this point? A facility for the Pan-Ams is not going to be nearly large enough to act as an Olympic Stadium or an NFL stadium. Instead it would be another facility of 20,000 - 50,000 seats (i.e. BMO Field or the Roger's Centre). OTOH, Hamilton is in...

With all of the attention over the de-centralization of the "Golden Horseshoe" games, I wonder how long they can get away with avoiding actual details of venues and locations. If they do eventually live up to their promise to hold the games across the entire region, it may not be the...

What issues? All I can remember was the tension between the two nations after the forced marriage was initially announced. Even that was primarily (legitimate) bitterness on the part of Japan because Korea essentially pulled an end run around a poor technical report and used the Havelange-UEFA...

Wintering in Orangeville? Blah!

The patio is nicer when you're on it. The brick wall is relatively high and the glass is quite thick. With TV screens on the patio, the focus of attention is towards the awning along the restaurant wall, rather than the parking lot beyond.

I've been to a couple of them recently, with the most recent being a relatively new one in Watertown, NY. based on the size of the one at Square One, I think it will be fairly similar: Great selection of drinks, pastries and light meals; a decent amount of seating; and free wireless.

I know that the long term plan for Square One is to concentrate as much parking as possible in the new parking garages and to create more islands of retail and other services among the current parking lots. I know that many will not agree with what is happening but it does fit in with what...

It was being taken down? I haven't been to Sherway since the spring and I was under the impression that they were enlarging it. I guess it's hard to tell when everything is cordoned off but the actual work hasn't begun. Your explanation would certainly explain Sears' opposition. WF would...

I have read reports that the 400/11 interchange will be redesigned as part of the 400 overhaul/extension. Much like the 7/8 split in Kitchener, straightening out the access between the highways should end most of the congestion that develops. (I figure an OHL fan such as yourself can...

I didn't realize there was also a Spence coming until I checked the website. Are their stores normally that size? I haven't had a close look at the construction closer to Rathburn. I didn't realize the foundation was so large. I suppose one concern will be how quickly the parking lot fills up...

Is there a large enough space available in the mall or was the plan to build in the parking lot?

Holding the rowing and canoeing at the Henley Course has been one of the key venue revelations from the bid group. The venue has hosted the World Rowing Championships before and is well suited for the Games. Cycling and wrestling in the same venue? How do you picture this one? The nature of...

It does if the city needs a new stadium any way. Part of the city's failed bid for the Commonwealth Games included a 45,000 seat stadium for Atheltics that would also be used by the Tiger Cats and McMaster University. All this talk of 80k for the Pan-Am Games is puzzling. 30-50k is the...

The Food Basics is the major draw in that mall. With most of the development taking place further west around MCC I would be surprised to see anything happen there for a while. In fact, as Square One goes upscale, staying downscale might attract many many people from the Mississauga...

Re: Square One location. Any guesses where it might be located? I can't see it in the mall proper or one of the new properties being developed in the surrounding parking lots/land. Perhaps among the early condo developments just west of the mall? Another possibility would be a portion of the...

I went by the new Panera bread location and looks like it's a couple of weeks away from opening. The hydro is turned on and many of he fixtures and the shelving have been installed. I assume the LCBO is the large building going up right along Square One Drive. Does anyone know what they've...

I'm curious to see how the site is accessed by cars. Hopefully it will be at the intersection one light north of Bristol. (Currently, there is only a road on the east side of Hurontario.) If there is access from Bristol, the block is going to be a nightmare of traffic during the morning rush...
