It's those French Mint-coloured desks! The rest of it feels like a Joey restaurant. Just a bland, anonymous any-place.

I cannot stop laughing at the "Gustav Mahler" graffitti. Oh no! If we let Metrolinx build this guideway then we'll be overrun by disaffected teens and their notorious love of early modernist composers

Happy to have another mid-sized concert venue, and the interiors look all right. The exterior's serving me "upmarket gentlemen's club" but maybe that's exactly the vibe they were aiming for

It's a giant beehive! Fun. I'm docking it one point for calling it "Bee Research Centre" when "Beesearch" is sitting right there

You just have to follow the cats' line-of-sight :)

You darn kids stay off isaidso's lawn!

I'd be shocked if they didn't. A logo is in some ways a small part of a big corporate rebrand (though it usually gets the most scrutiny), but it's still table stakes to have a bunch of variant logos for different contexts: full-colour, greyscale, straight black-and-white, reversed, one that...

There's the "Terry Fox Miracle Mile", which loops around Canoe Landing park in Cityplace (two loops = one mile). There's ten lightboxes along the route that have photos of meaningful objects/people/moments from the Marathon of Hope (his arrival in Toronto, one of his worn-through socks, the...

You mean the Pemberton site to the west (with the orange tarps)? That's a completely separate project, different developer. As far as I can remember there's no provision for a concourse level in either project, so no underground connection to each other.

So I should stop holding out hope for the triumphant return of one Charles Entertainment Cheese, then

To nitpick: the Around the Bay 30K is a running race, not a bike race. (Although I often wish I could hop on a bike around the 20K mark!) These pics are a lot of fun – thanks for posting them! The attention to detail is impressive; hopefully they can hang on until tourism is a thing again.

I think I'm with Edward on this one. The cladding is a let-down, making the building look much more conservative than it actually is. Some bright colour – or at least some variation in shades – would help highlight the wild angles, rather than disguise them.

Meanwhile, work continues on the Bloor Street bridge. They’ve dug out a fair portion of the abutment on the south side, as well as a surprising amount of the road.

When you shoot most of the centipede but then the last little segment starts scurrying to the bottom of the screen.

To be fair, Shoppers always block their own windows with vinyl advertising clings, so this is actually an improvement.

Alternatively, let's send all conservatives to Cape Dorset. Sure it'll be chilly at first, but I'm sure the captains of self-reliance will pull themselves up by their bootstraps in no time. I can't believe you bumped a year-dormant thread for no reason other than to hate on poor people.

The SCP Wiki is a collaborative fiction site that's been running for at least a decade, about tales of the SCP Foundation, a fictional organization dedicated to studying and containing paranormal/alien/extradimensional phenomena. It's a great read, if you like mashups of sci-fi, urban fantasy...

Designers usually reach for mixed-case on signage – research has shown it to be more legible, possibly because lower-case letterforms are much more varied – the ascenders and descenders mean that from afar (or in low light, or for people with low vision), words have distinctive shapes, as...

You're right, and the pressure might already be starting? The building that houses Jam Factory and Merchants of Green Coffee (2 Matilda) has also been recently sold, apparently; Jam Factory is vacating: https://www.blogto.com/music/2021/06/jam-factory-toronto-closing/ This is a hella strikiing...

There goes the neighbourhood.
