It's news to me that there's underground parking beneath that surface lot facing Jarvis. Sixties planning at its best.

Four-and-a-half years, four-and-a-half floors.

This reminds me of the recent deluxe reissue of the Replacements' "Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash." Cluelessly repackaging a grungy classic in a way that defeats its original purpose.

Not that I'm any retail guru, but even before the pandemic I thought that below-ground, south-of-Bloor MacEwan's was an ill-advised location and would have a hard time competing against Eataly and Pusateris.

Nice new paint job on the fire station. Looks like they put the lettering back up too (or recreated it).

I think it’s awesome that a French automaker is moving its HQ to downtown Toronto . . . but do they even sell any cars here?

That makes four houses moved in and around a single intersection within a decade. Remarkable.

Here's some more baseless speculation: Under Mizrahi's financing agreement, a funding tranche is contingent on a key milestone -- installation of the first glass.

Wow. That thing really ballooned -- and not long after its original construction, from the look of it. Obviously a huge appetite for Christianity and temperance back then.

I like the courthouse, but this one always hurts.

By the way, Frogley's Bakery was where one George Weston did his apprenticeship. By coincidence, his grandson Galen died yesterday.

From the east.

The disconnect between the claim and reality is jarring. Everyone knows that Yorkdale is the best mall in Canada. This lawsuit is a desperation move if ever I saw one.

Interesting. The main reason the tribunal awarded costs was because the RAs put forward an "expert" witness who apparently didn`t know what he was talking about -- he didn`t understand that a neighbourhoods designation does not preclude apartments up to four storeys and thus wasted everybody's time.

The persistence of that eyesore at Bay and Adelaide must have really bugged the early-20th century equivalent of Urban Toronto development trainspotters.

And I'll bet more than a few of them will buy units here when they reach their empty nest years.

Very much getting a Robert A.M. Stern vibe here.

Could this project be any dumber?

Demolition happening right now.

It looks like that parking lot was there for about 50 years. My God.
