    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Here's a Globe article making the connection between DeBattista and Green for Life. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/torontos-new-garbage-magnate-stickhandles-his-way-to-the-front/article559083/

    Toronto King Portland Centre and Kingly Condos | 57.6m | 15s | Allied | Hariri Pontarini

    It looks like this and the adjacent buildings have been bought by a riocan venture. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/news-sources/?date=+20120716&archive=ccnm&slug=201207160805443001

    Toronto 100 Queens Quay at Sugar Wharf | 117.34m | 25s | Menkes | B+H

    I recall hearing the former railway tracks that cut through the site are owned by Build Toronto.

    In drum's first photo, what's with that sign that says "Portland St W"?

    This is a good old trademark dispute: http://money.canoe.ca/money/business/canada/archives/2011/05/20110502-104535.html

    Duke's Cycle (623-625 Queen St. W, Form, 3s)

    The fire started five buildings over. People could have died, but luckily all got out. The Dukes building had been in the family for generations, and they were really attached to it. The destruction of the Dukes building meant they lost the cap on their commercial property taxes, and if I...

    Duke's Cycle (623-625 Queen St. W, Form, 3s)

    Wow. Just wow. If you knew anything about this fire and the aftermath, you'd realize that this is one of the most ignorant things ever posted on urbantornto.

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

    What I don't get is how they can have balconies right at the property line. Are all the adjacent properties, (MEC, the Charlotte Room building, and the lowrises on Peter, potential development sites in the coming. At least Glas has a street separating it from Charlie. This project makes no...

    Toronto Fabrik Condos | 56.99m | 17s | Menkes | Giannone Petricone

    To me, this looks like it would be on the south side of Richmond between Spadina and Brant, across from the Morgan. 477 Richmond St W would be the white block in the background...

    Next Mayor of Toronto?

    The Tamil ad isn't just some one off. It's dog whistle politics, narrow casting to a specific voter bloc. Ford did it last week with a really disgraceful hit implying Smitbherman is antisemetic because he was endorsed by the Canadian Arab Federation, and then narrowcasing this in the jewish...

    Sonder Hotel (was Templar, 348 Adelaide W, Rhed, 8s, Del Terrelonge) COMPLETE

    The front window now contains a message that the hotel is going to be open this fall. And this is backed by the fact that there were a bunch of guys standing out front, looking in, and talking like they might actually be planning to do some work today.

    Should the Toronto Islands be kept as-is?

    I can't believe this discussion has gone on for so long without anyone proposing an obvous area for exploration. The place for a new neighbourhood is on the island airport lands. It could be somthing like the new neighbourhood I recall hearing about on the old rail yards along the Amstel River...

    Toronto Queen & Portland Loft & Condominium Residences | ?m | 9s | Tribute | Turner Fleischer

    I really hope the Loblaws people are busy working on a redesign of the facade. The original version looks as bad as the Ryerson business school at Bay and Dundas.

    Toronto Queen & Portland Loft & Condominium Residences | ?m | 9s | Tribute | Turner Fleischer

    iSlutsky's "mystery link" is to the C of A application for changes primarily related to the different loading bays and other configuration differences resulting from the swapping in of Loblaws and Winners for Home Depot. They are looking to add about 4000 more square feet and the equivalent of a...

    Toronto Queen & Portland Loft & Condominium Residences | ?m | 9s | Tribute | Turner Fleischer

    The crane is going up today. They've spent the last week cleaning up the excavation site. It's been 10 months to dig a 3 storey hole, including the archeological work. They've hired the tortoise rather than the hare as builder, but I have been impressed by how meticulous they've been about...

    Toronto Queen & Portland Loft & Condominium Residences | ?m | 9s | Tribute | Turner Fleischer

    I'm not saying that I'm caught up in the branding issue, but for the record I just drove by Dufferin and Steeles today and it looks like that location is a Real Canadian Superstore.

    Toronto Queen & Portland Loft & Condominium Residences | ?m | 9s | Tribute | Turner Fleischer

    It was early October when they first put up the construction fencing and started the archeology work. They are digging this hole like a reluctant teenager. I'm surprised it has taken so long. But almost every day they are there taking out a few more loads.
