    QEW HOV lanes open

    The lanes have looked complete for about a month now. I'm sure they're just waiting for people's schedules to sync up for a photo op.

    Restaurant Comings & Goings

    I had heard that the same guy had run both of the restaurants. Stix and Stones was terrible though and it could have been a great sports bar if it was done right. The place was the coldest place i've ever been to and you can tell it was decorated by a woman. All they needed was doilies and lace...

    Restaurant Comings & Goings

    Another burger joint is opening up in the space previously occupied by Stix & Stones on the southeast side of King & Spadina. Another burger joint? Really? You've got the Grindhouse on one side already and Craft Burger just down the street. Since this space is cursed, I don't see it being open...

    JN_12's Euro Adventure - Ypres (WWI Battlegrounds)

    Great idea. I was fortunate to visit Ypres and the Vimy Memorial last August and it was quite moving. Definitely a visit everyone should do. A few photos Massive craters to create new front lines. A team would dig down 50ft and plant some explosives to create new places to take...

    Toronto non-mall retail (Odds & Ends)

    The old MINI dealership on King Street West is going to be a new Patagonia store. Can't remember if anyone mentioned it previously or not.

    That carpet looks like bacon. Ladies and Gentlemen, please enter Bacon room A. Bacon B is around the corner.

    Toronto King Charlotte | 114.9m | 32s | Lamb Dev Corp | a—A

    Could it be the existing LCBO land? I remember someone posting a community notice about a development taking up the whole southeast corner including the old structure along King St.

    Toronto Bisha Hotel and Residences | 146.91m | 44s | Lifetime | Wallman Architects

    Allow me. What a piece of garbage. it's impossible to really see how this is going to look. Something tells me this is going to turn out exactly like Crystal Blu condos. Cheapen out on the exterior glazing and end up with something tall and nasty and please don't throw that cheesy logo on the top.

    Toronto Ontario Place | ?m | ?s | Infrastructure ON

    Some ideas; Casino - thought this would probably kill a bunch of business in Niagara... but it could be a nice small casino. Aquarium - Dig out the area around the pods and put the large aquarium exhibits underwater with some exhibits and interactive areas up in the pods. Contemporary Art Museum

    Waterfront: Portlands Sports Complex (8s?, RDH Architects) DEAD

    Hence why I wrote this I wouldn't want to travel in elevators with hyper kids and stinky equipment either so I would rather take the escalator. Take a ride up to Ikea, the airport or any hospital to see examples of large elevators that work just fine.

    To bad the whole outside couldn't match the atrium cladding. Imaging having a double glazed system that appears like a glass jewelry box.

    Waterfront: Portlands Sports Complex (8s?, RDH Architects) DEAD

    I'm surprised to see so many comments on the Star that talk about the nightmare of elevators. Just head on down to Ikea and you'll see that they've got a bunch of them. Hospitals too. Not exactly hard to figure out. Throw in escalators for people without equipment and you'll be fine. Having...

    Toronto 2015 Pan American Games

    While I applaud Bob Young for coming along to help save the Ti-cats a number of years ago, I hope he gets his wish only to see it fail. The Ticats have been doing just fine in a more restrictive urban format and other teams have done the same. "cough, Montreal, cough" This is a stupid idea and...

    Toronto Festival Tower and tiff Lightbox | 156.96m | 42s | Daniels | KPMB

    You don't need to have giant D-Cups to have a great rack. The beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Toronto Festival Tower and tiff Lightbox | 156.96m | 42s | Daniels | KPMB

    The girls know full well what they are getting into before they apply. I'm sure if I had a great rack, I might as well make some good money from it. As ugly as the building is, it does provide a great deal of street life to the neighbourhood which is better than some stuffy stuck up restaurant.

    What Good new DIGI CAMERA to buy? Newbie to fine photography.

    I recently picked up a T2i which is an amazing camera. Shoots HD video and is a great camera to grow into. In terms of buying one, Henry's is usually one of the more expensive places to get it. I did my research on this site called http://www.photoprice.ca/ It shows the prices of a number of...

    Toronto Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Toronto | 203.9m | 52s | Lifetime | a—A

    That cladding at the top looks like it's been shortened. Too bad indeed as it could have a been a nice finishing touch though this treatment is getting a bit tired. I would have preferred those vertical ribs on the south side integrating into some roof element similar to IFC
