You know, at this point in Toronto's development history, open air surface parking lots should be considered criminal. Put it on top or below the Wal-Mart, then you'd have room for lots of other stores that would be walkable distance from Wally-world. At the very least they should build a...

Another "lonely Aura" shot. This time from Dieppe Park in East York. It really is quite solitary from this angle. This should change once all the Yonge St. development goes up in the next 5 years.

Here's my favourite view of the Bay corridor that this project will add nicely to:

I'm surprised the crane is still there. I have a direct view of it, and it is not active at all. I guess there's still stuff going up for which they can't use the elevators.

That's too bad. We unfortunately spend some time at Sick Kids periodically, and we love Middle Eastern food. There's a Tim Horton's in every hospital in the area. Do they really need another one?

I could see a non-local driving down the 401 and mistaking NYCC for downtown. It really is becoming quite impressive. I moved away from there 6 years ago and it is incomparable.

Amazing. That view could be a mid-sized city's downtown skyline, and it's practically a footnote in Toronto's construction file.

I've noticed that site too. I'm sure it's related to the LRT. Eglinton is a real hassle to get through now in anything but the lightest traffic. Only 5 more years!

Well that explains it.

We briefly stopped in at Moms to be today while consuming large amounts of gelato. It's pretty empty. If you need preemie or newborn clothing, that's pretty much all that's left. Also, lots of shelving, and a couple of PCs from circa 2007. Also, I didn't remember this before, but does the...

So what exactly is going into the inside of the new addition?

What else is there (or slated to move in) currently?

Looks like the Walmart plaza is back in swing. Diggin' and haulin' bigtime.

If I remember correctly the developer wanted to get rid of most of it and build another house on the site next to the remains, or something like that. There was a lot of back-and-forth with the city over the house. The neighbours were not happy with the whole thing. As to the zombie apocalypse...

Yup, these guys aren't kidding around. I drive by once a week around 7 am and there's a lineup of trucks waiting to be loaded. I wonder how the owners of that solitary house on the south-west corner will feel when they are surrounded by two giant towers. A client of mine once tried to ask the...

Well-designed, modernist townhouses would be a considerable improvement over the current spate of fugly McMansions going up to replace the aging housing stock. I live in a townhouse myself, and have no problem with increased overall density, but ksun made it sound like he wants to turn the...

But why do we need to avoid the very low density in every single neighbourhood? That's what I don't understand. We're not running out of room to build. When you have two kids and two cars like we do, you will appreciate the space. I'm walking distance to 7 (soon to be 8 with Whole Foods) grocery...

You're the one who comes across as universally judgy and immature. Actually jealous is more accurate. I'm sorry I have a nice house in Leaside and don't want to "densify" it to satisfy your misplaced notion urbanity. Not every single neighbourhood in Toronto needs to be high density, especially...

Got a letter from planning about community consultation for the Sunnybrook plaza redevelopment. April 28 7-9 pm at Leaside Memorial Community Gardens. I can't go, but can anyone make it? Would be interesting to hear the community "feedback"*. *feedback - handwringing about density, shadows...

Well there's a mini TH in the gas station just to the north from here. It's pretty basic, though.
