Oh good, I'm glad. Honestly, this feels like a better use of the space than a park. I feel like the area isn't exactly under-parked?

I don't have a "now" to go with, but my photos app served me an "on this day" memory that made for a pretty striking "then". This is looking west from the top of the TD Centre during Doors Open, 2004. Missing from this view are all the condos of Liberty Village and the Ordnance Triangle, all the...

I never lived in the Annex, but I spent a ton of time on Markham as an undergrad and after: the victory, the butler's pantry, the beguiling, suspect video, david mirvish, honest ed's itself. It's strange to have so many memories bound up in a space that doesn't really exist any more. Live in any...

I believe the closure from Ruskin to Rupont was daily (ie, that stretch is open on weekends), for noise wall and landscaping work. We got a flyer in the mail about it, but tbh since Metrolinx has blown through all other deadlines on this I've kind of stopped paying close attention

Oh man The Third Rail is an absolute winner. Of course, if we wanted to stick with local content The Turbo Train is an option

OK but what would you call it? I'm partial to "The Railroad" myself

I still prefer what we got! This city needed more USB ports, I can never find a free one to charge my airpods

Yeah, it felt like the guideway itself went pretty quickly but it's really taking a dog's age to wrap up these last parts. I think the Paton underpass lighting can change colour; it was green a few days ago.

It's like that Cassandre Normandie poster!

lol is that Tri-Klops from He-Man?

It can become another Toronto shibboleth, so you can tell whether the speaker is a local or not, like "Baby Point" or "Spadina" (or "Toronto" itself)

what i'm getting from this is, the new river park play area needs an exhibit called HOW MUCH YOU WEIGH IN A BLACK HOLE and it's just one of those machines that crushes cars into little cubes

If memory serves, the plan was for QQ to continue east and end at Cherry Street.

How many ontario line station entrances are former banks? At least three, right?

Moynihan looks sharp, but it has many of the same problems outlined in Willybru's post about Union: the outdoor spaces are cold and uninviting, there's no greenery, animation or anywhere to sit, and the interior hall also notoriously has nowhere to sit.

Just a buckwild timeline. In the time it's taken to even start this relatively minor project, I've changed careers (twice) and genders (once)

Hey, we're coming up on 15 years since this thread was started, what's another year delay amirite

My approach has always been, you draw out the mmm sound, plus, importantly, you start low, and then increase both volume and pitch so that "uff" comes out as a loud squeak.

The street level is dreadful, just a long, flat, undifferentiated wall of glass.

I'm not in one of these houses, but my place is just as close to the same railway line, just south of Bloor. To be honest, when the windows are shut, I barely notice the trains (and they're not yet very frequent anyway). In the warmer months we tend to leave the windows open for airflow and...
