That's going to create some nasty traffic on Gerrard, which is pretty busy already during rush hour. Also a big nuisance for cyclists as I assume the bike lane is also going to eliminated too.

That's too bad about Pages. If Pages does move, it will probably be better off than the neighbourhood. I bet it will do a lot better further down on Queen (either further east or west). That part of Queen Street, where Pages is currently located, has pretty much lost all it's appeal. After...

I have to agree with this. I was very pleasantly surprised by the illustrations. One bonus of having gone to the previews was the access to the E.P. Taylor Research Library and Archives, which is generally not open to the public on weekends. They had quite a number of posters and other works...

I spent a few hours at the AGO yesterday. It's hard for me to really comment on the new building itself since it's still unfinished. The dust and construction noise was very distracting. There were two highlights for me. First, it was great to see the Canadian collection back. Second...

It's actually more like one day, because that $100 is taxable!

I don't think we'll see $7/day or even $20/day daycare in Toronto. I'd be happy if the government could just start by allowing parents to deduct the full cost of daycare and not just a fraction of it.

As far as my unit was concerned, it had terrible soundproofing. There was also an awful dust problem which couldn't be controlled despite regular sweeping and vacuuming. I could smell my neighbour's cooking too. And the washer and dryer closet was built too small such that the door wouldn't...

Unfortunately, it only takes one party to start it. When attack ads started in the U.S., the only effective response were attack ads.

I used to live in a Cresford-built building. Never again.

Why is this unfair? Why should taxpayers (i.e. those who go out into the workforce to work) support parents who choose to stay home to look after their kids? Why should this be encouraged at all? I can understand supporting maternity/parental leave until a child is a year old since this...

Cancelling the Globe will also save our forests and will be good for our environment! I say go for it!

Gas prices under $1/litre isn't going to be much consolation for those who are going to start losing their jobs. . .

I had lunch at Johnny Rockets yesterday. Sure, it's an American chain, but my view is that this is the best thing going for the building. It is refreshingly bright inside with a nice retro feel. It has a good view of the square and is perfect for people watching. The staff were very...

The Toronto French School is a very reputable school in Toronto. It's probably the first school Toronto parents considering private French schools think of. I don't know much about the Giles School other than that it is founded by the same person who founded the Toronto French School. If...

I have always wondered about buying basically a shell and then working with a trusted designer and contractor to put in stuff that I really wanted. Has anyone had any experience with this? Is this possbile and is it cost-effective?

Thanks for the info. I was planning to head over to Cabbagetown this Saturday so will have to drop by.

Thanks for the confirmation. I hope you got a really good discount. The lack of showers is a definite deal breaker for me.

You have to be kidding. No showers yet?

I was walking by the building on the west side of Yonge Street today and noticed for the first time the incredible amount of noise coming from it. I think the source of all this noise was the rooftop cooler. I actually found the noise to be pretty offensive and disruptive of my enjoyment of...

I went to the Dominion at Bayview and Eglinton to take a look at the renovations on the weekend. It seems like they may be gaining additional space by expanding outwards. They also appear to be getting rid of some interior walls that made the store a pain to navigate. Parts of the floor has...
