The dumpiness of what were soon to be the Five Thieves buildings is a reminder that Rosedale was probably at its lowest ebb in the early Seventies. Also nice to see that Goodwill has stuck with its groovy logo for so long.

Using EIFS on heritage buildings is all theDeepend was talking about. From my perspective, suburbanites can use it on new construction all they want because their neighbourhoods are for the most part lost causes to begin with. Your use of the inflammatory words "obnoxious", "ludicrous" and...

I just did a quick Google search, but it looks like EIFS is a bug business, complete with trade associations, lobbying groups etc. We should start our own lobbying group, at the very least. I can't even look at the scaffolding when I drive by, it makes me so sick.

Don't make excuses for cheap crap. The condition of that building's brick, contrary to that shill who was posting here earlier, looked fine to me. The truth is that EIFS is primarily an insulation system -- a quick and dirty way to make an old building "energy-efficient" from the outside, rather...

The wiretaps won't be disclosed for this prosecution. I will simply note that the accused's lawyer managed, in record time for our justice system, to plea-bargain down from a first degree murder charge to manslaughter.

To Torontonians I say: WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

Quaint article -- modern pharmacy owners have clearly lost sight of the value of "window displays" as a marketing tool.

What a strange, oddly "non-corporate" message. What are they trying to communicate? That the work is purely "cosmetic"? That the completed development will resemble a frozen-faced old borscht-belt comedienne? That it will wind up looking worse after the "work" is done than it did before? If...

There have to be literally dozens of witnesses out there to Ford's indiscretions with intoxicants. I would hope that the papers are actively looking for them, interviewing them, and persuading them to go on the record for a future blockbuster story. But that will take time.

I don't deny that it was a factor, but it was a small factor. Let's not forget that Glen Murray managed to get himself elected mayor of Winnipeg in the late 1990s. There's no way that Winnipeg was more progressive back then than Toronto is now. What ultimately did in Smitherman was the whiff...

Surprise, surprise... they've started putting up the EIFS. Congratulations, your client is about to turn his building into a PoS.

Not much promenading going on on Jarvis Street these days.

In that same spirit, let me take this opportunity to apologize for voting for Rob. I knew full well that he was a clown, but if I can say a word in my defence, he was the only candidate firmly against Transit City, and that issue meant something to me. I expected Lastman-style silliness but...

How strange. It would appear that right after giving his "there is no video" press conference, he returned home and went for a walk in the bush (in his suit!), whereupon he encountered a group of young potheads. I suppose the Iron Bridge is a place of refuge for him, the site of many a...

It's not the crime that gets you... it's the cover-up (although Ford might go down for both).

This story has to be false since the video to be covered up doesn't exist.

And my point is, Doolittle and Donovan did see the crack video. Good enough to convince me there was a big story worth putting on the front page.

Well, I haven't seen the video of Luka Magnotta dismembering his victim... but I'm fairly confident the cops got the right man.

I know it must hurt to see your hero going down -- why else would you (and others) be putting so much effort into shooting the messenger? Whether the Star is the "newspaper of record" is entirely beside the point. It has a long-established reputation for credibility and has been on a bit of a...
