    Toronto The Pemberton | 215.79m | 68s | Pemberton | a—A

    Not really - those in the small tower, of course, but as you can see in this picture I just took, most residents in the tall tower should keep their view, as well as guests on the upper floors of the hotel.

    Large-scale Philanthropy

    All such donations are obviously welcome, but in the last fiscal year alone, the hospital received $648,876,000 from the Ministry of Health and Ontario Health. I still believe the generosity of private donors does not in any way justify changing the institution's name.

    Toronto St Michael's Hospital Emergency Department Redevelopment | ?m | 2s | Unity Health Toronto | NORR

    Thank you, I will contact them. I was surprised to see such an improvised setup. The old reception area, while decrepit, worked a lot better. Now, when you enter, there are two security guards behind glass, then you go through another door and there is a long ramp to get to reception. Anyone...

    Toronto St Michael's Hospital Emergency Department Redevelopment | ?m | 2s | Unity Health Toronto | NORR

    So I went today because my husband had a seemingly infected toe (with type 2 diabetes = emergency). I can confirm that the inside of the facility is cheap, ugly, and still a bit disorganized, with an added "pre-triage" step in a small corner devoid of any space for a support person (said husband...

    Toronto Atrium on Bay Expansion | 86.65m | 25s | KingSett Capital | Hariri Pontarini

    I used to go to that Kitchen Table all the time in the late 80s, early 90s, back when there were no supermarkets in the Bay and Gerrard area. I'm trying to remember another chain restaurant that was in the Atrium's lower level at the time, before Olive Garden.

    Spier & Mackay will open a store across from Earl's, Manulife Centre.

    Toronto The Pemberton | 215.79m | 68s | Pemberton | a—A

    Again from the comfort of my living room.

    There they are, finally.

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 351.85m | 106s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    I guarantee no one thought about this. I Iived for 10 years on the 50th floor of ROCP I. Living on a high floor is cool until you cannot reach your apartment because a flood disabled the elevators, and even when they work it's a waste of time. Never again.

    Toronto 50 Scollard | 147.62m | 41s | Lanterra | Foster + Partners

    Setting aside the extremely imaginative virtual staging, with "furniture" that cannot possibly fit in the space, did I see a condensing dryer in that $6,000 apartment?

    Downtown Grocery Store List (current + proposed)

    Any new food store will be welcome in the area, but so close to Eataly, this concept might be a bit redundant. I visited their original store last summer and came out empty-handed (then again I can't eat wheat, so I stay clear of prepared foods).

    Toronto Mirvish Village (Honest Ed's Redevelopment) | 85.04m | 26s | Peterson | Henriquez Partners

    I have a client who switched from X to Bluesky 9 months ago; they lost almost 97% of their followers.

    Toronto Mirvish Village (Honest Ed's Redevelopment) | 85.04m | 26s | Peterson | Henriquez Partners

    $6,000 a month and a micro-kitchen good enough to make toast and not much more - if you can find space for your toaster.

    Restaurant Comings & Goings

    It's unfortunate about the service, especially since Scale was given millions by the Ford government to train staff despite a low-rated application that was filed late. Knowing the owners are conservative supporters doesn't do wonders for my appetite.

    Toronto Ontario Place: New Science Centre | 4s | Province of Ontario | Snøhetta + HPA

    According to the press release, "as early as 2029".

    Toronto Ontario Place: New Science Centre | 4s | Province of Ontario | Snøhetta + HPA

    I'm actually shocked that they are spending more than a billion dollars on this.

    President Donald Trump's United States of America

    I know my American husband won't watch. He's basically written off his home country, refuses to cross the border, and is thinking about renouncing his citizenship (but that would cost more than CDN $3,500, so it's not a priority...)

    Toronto Coach Terminal Redevelopment | 147.7m | 44s | Kilmer + Tricon | Studio Gang + a—A

    I used to visit my now-husband in the U.S. very often before he was able to immigrate here, and one day, instead of renting a car, I decided to take a bus to Buffalo and he came from Pittsburgh to pick me up. I was treated quite differently when crossing the border! Some Americans don't have a...

    What's Cooking?

    My husband and I don't tend to do much on Valentine's Day, but as people around me are getting older and sicker and I'm about to be investigated for the big C, I think we deserve a good meal. I've got beets roasting in the oven, and I will slice them, lightly dress them with olive oil and...

    President Donald Trump's United States of America

    We paid for the entire $6.4 billion bridge, but HE wants to be compensated? Will anyone take him out of our misery?
