Here's a view from Beverley St. of the Ritz and Festival Tower rising

Last week I noticed them doing a lot of welding work in the exposed sections from floor to floor.

Picture I took a few years ago of the CN Tower with a Halo effect around the top of the antenna, and it's shadow reflecting off the clouds.

"I'd have been happier from a ( grits teeth ... ) "heritage" point of view to see the slow recladding continued" By the time the 'slow reclading' were finished, we'd have a tower with an entirely new set of dingy, discoloured ugly tiles.

It's a Saturday, and the workers are busy removing tiles today. Great to see they're not wasting any time with this project.

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but during TIFF, each night from 8pm-12am, they'll be using the John Street facade of the building as a movie screen: "Jeremy Shaw, Marco Brambilla and Oliver Pietsch -These three emerging artists reinvent cinema's past through dreams and...

In a perfect world, this condo would be replacing that fugly highrise at the corner of Beverley & Stephanie St. That dull monolith is such a visual blight in the neighbourhood.

Your rendering looks great! Good job Andrew!

I was shocked to learn today that PAGES bookstore at Queen & John is closing permanently on August 31st. That's another independant bookstore to bite the dust. The reason given is that the landlord wants a huge increase in rent that they can't afford. Leaflets posted on the UofT grounds say...

I still remember the BS ad campaign with drawings of 737's that Miller was putting forth during the first election campaign. Smoke & mirrors and misinformation was the game plan. Good to see that the masses have since stopped paying attention to all the naysaying doom and gloom that supposedly...

The stains look as though they're caused by water run-off from those oxidized support poles next to them. I'd be surprised if a powerwash is going to get rid of them... sandblasting is more like it.

As long as they continue to offer exceptional service at economy rates, they'll do fine. I flew Porter to Newark last November. I was shocked by how great the service was. Add to that the hassle-free travel to the airport, and they can't go wrong. They're running a top notch operation. I will...

How odd that they're using an outdated Location Map in the demolition report. It's still showing the outline of the Diamante sales office (demolished back in 2000) for their 18 Beverley development. There's also a bold outline around where the old church used to reside on that same block, before...

The row of Victorian homes beginning at the crosswalk and continuing south to the first alley are 39-27B Beverley. This development at 15-27 Beverley shouldn't affect them. There are however 2 short, ugly small squarish buildings next to them that are probably the one's cited in the article.
