Atwood NIMBYs is an apt term...mind you my memory goes back to Margaret MacMillan and the Battle of Varsity Stadium...hell I remember when John Barber, Gare Joyce and that whole drunken Dooney's Globe and Mail crowd denounced the new - c. 1997 - Spadina streetcar as the "strip mining of...

Literally my old elementary and high schools...never would have dreamed of rail transit - for two modes- in that area.

Sure does, I use it regularly to report graffiti I see on the system and I get near instant responses saying crews will be dispatched to clean it (and they always have for every request I've made).

Good example, an engaged and well-funded BIA helps (they are very responsive as well: I've emailed them about issues I see on Bay on my way to work in the morning, on my way back in the afternoon it's usually been taken care of). Another example you posted in the Honest Ed's redevelopment...

Getting a West Palm Beach brothel vibe...

I grew up across the street and that corner used to have a Petro-Canada station, so my first thought is that ground was contaminated to begin with.

I'm almost certain it became incorporated into the offices of Blake, Cassels & Graydon. The firm has one floor at the top of the building - library, boardrooms, kitchen - separated from its other floors by a few stories, necessitating taking different elevators from my recollection.

I *think* UTL may still have an off-site storage facility there, I have vague memories of contacting them for materials when I was at UTSC. Incidentally they, and York, are expanding off-site storage facilities for materials as the trend in academic libraries is to cede more and more space to...

Pretty sure this is the southeast corner, looking west along King. Commerce Court would be on the left, and the TD Centre across the street.

I mean, sure, from an urban-planning/historical preservation standpoint the project would probably have been a disaster....but....I have to admit it had a super-cool, Logan's Run dystopian futuristic appeal to it and you really had to hand it to them in terms of sheer audacity of vision. I get...

Bring back Commuters and Choo Choos and I'm good.

I suspect the building was more or less cleared out. This one, and the one directly south, were completely gutted over the past year. I walk past them both about once a week and over the fall and winter at this one there was tons - I mean *massive* - amounts of furniture, debris, junk...

I believe the sinkhole along College is fixed, as I saw Carlton cars this morning at University.

I would have no issue with a flag/whistlestop in Sundridge so I can pop over to Copperhead distillery and load up on their great moonshine and rum...

Aye, yes my mistake.

I've been hearing rumours that block is being assembled, as I don't see that blinds store next door lasting much longer.

To be fair, one of the reasons why many operators who drove during my Dad's tenure - during the 70's through to the early 90's - didn't wear their blazers was not only because of the badge number issue, it was because the blazers restricted their arm movements in an era when the pre-rebuild...

Ha, my Dad said the exact same thing. He also refused to wear the blazers with badge numbers on them and Inspectors (as they were known back then) stopped bothering to ask him because he was so high up in the union list he would tell them to go fly a kite, in so many words...

Actually that's exactly what's supposed to happen, all the early renderings showed the existing plaza extended northwards.

I remember the days when old man Ferlisi walked around his store in his apron where that cash money place is now.
