Cityplace Pizza Nova This is hardly worth mentioning, but there is a sign for a Pizza Nova coming to Cityplace Matrix, 365 Front St W, in the spot vacated by the RBC retail when it moved over to Neo at Spadina and Bremner / Fort York a few months ago. Well, at least it will provide an...

PS You'd be surprised at the amount of wildlife supported by that field. :) There's a colony of six or seven semi-feral cats living in the junk pile, with some help from a local animal protection group, plus at least three or four self-supporting groundhogs, and another one with a burrow down by...

September 8 Pictures As noted earlier, much of the square area in front of the ACC is now open, affording new views from the east side of the complex. Here are some pictures from this evening around 5 pm, unfortunately not the best time of day given where the sun is located. 1...

September 8 Pictures The exterior of the south podium is nearly complete now, having been in a patchwork state for many months where parts of the cladding, glazing, and columns were done and others weren't. Pictures from this evening around 5pm. 1. Looking east from the west end...

September 7 Pictures Further progress on the mechanical top. Also was walking by this morning and noticed much of the fencing/hoarding around the ACC has been removed, starting around the centre of the west side of the ACC and going around the SW corner, so you can now walk under the...

Lantern Testing Pictures, August 27, 8:30 pm The night-time picture quality isn't great as I just have an ordinary camera but here are a few shots from around 8:30pm. Kudos to RBC and Cadillac-Fairview for such a fine building! A wonderful addition to our skyline, both day and night! 1...

Quite possibly. I simply numbered in order starting at 11 on the first floor off the podium, following the external numbering on the construction elevator.

Yes I just saw it myself. Didn't have a chance to get a picture but it was very dramatic! I look east at the west face of the building so don't see much of the lantern directly, but was actually alerted by the bright blue bar reflecting off the gold Royal Bank Plaza. Can't wait for it to be a...

Screen Testing, August 26 The screen is being tested this evening! http://www.flickr.com/photos/41002894@N07/3860004855/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/41002894@N07/3860788776/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/41002894@N07/3860789160/...

Ahh, I didn't know what to call it but assumed there must be a word for it. "Pergola" is the word of the day!

OT: Convention Centre Lights ^^^ They've also added some verticle lights - LEDs I assume - on the south entrance lately. The white-lit flags had always been there, but I;m pretty sure the blue is new: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41002894@N07/3844618160/

^^^ Very nice!

Courtyard Progess, August 23 Some progress on the courtyard, including an interesting cage-like thingy. Light quality not great on this dreary afternoon. Of course the sun came out after I got home! 1. Success Tower http://www.flickr.com/photos/41002894@N07/3850011462/ 2. West Side...
