Ew... What is that on the right side of the crown? Looks kinda scratched up

One of those rare days when you can almost make out Mississauga skyline through the haze and the smog all the way from Humber Bay Shores:

The crane was reinstalled pretty much the next day. Lots of noise last week, not much progress though: Some better shots of the cladding. A mix of glass spandrel and what looks to be temporary galvanized metal sections:

We would need @Jasonzed for that. I'm not sure how practiced he is with indoor flying though :)

My hypothetical plan was always to pretend that my tiny blue bicycle is in fact a giant green double-decker Go bus, so I could just ride into the terminal from the perspective of a go bus and disappear before anyone caught wind of my peeksy. I know I'd be walking a few ethical and legal lines...

Ethical question #2: If I take my bicycle out for a spin this Saturday, the way I always do, and I simply happen to cycle past this new terminal and take a quick peeksy at it, does that go against the spirit of the lockdown?

"flatiron" they said... 🤣

Another Star article about this: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2020/12/01/councillor-calls-for-review-of-heritage-rules-after-heartbreaking-demolition-of-historic-mimico-house.html From the article: It's odd that this little cottage may just become the proverbial straw that broke the...

You'd be surprised... Unless we can call 10 York a flatiron?

Eau du Soleil by night is slowly turning into a holiday decoration: Even my camera took a tumble from being awe-struck:

Wow, someone's been practicing their photography and editing skills during the lockdown!

The proposed building is a 2 storey + basement triplex, one unit per floor, 1,057 sq.ft. each. Elevation drawings of the new proposal: Exterior finish materials are a mix of stucco, corrugated horizonal metal siding, and thin stone veneer. Source: Toronto Development application number 20...

I created a new thread for construction updates of what with replace this house.

A terrible crime against this neighborhood has just been committed. This was by far my favorite house in the whole of Mimico. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2020/11/30/historic-mimico-home-demolished-despite-neighbourhood-rally.html From the article: Image of what was from Google Street...

Looks like another facadism project incoming since only the north and the west facades are considered heritage. . Note: The south side elevation adjoins the neighbouring building. No heritage attributes are identified on the rear (east) elevation, which is viewed from Richmond Street West...

I guess my question is: was this Crawford's decision alone to make? Or was there a city council vote on the issue? If so, I would have liked to know where my councilor lies on the issue so I can chew him out for voting against public interests.
