WOW!!! Losing Gehry and Stern a week apart!

Hi Jason. Did you actually work for Licensing? I did for a brief time back around 1993. Just wonder if we may have crossed paths.

I took some fine China that I grew tired of to a women/children’s shelter at 140 Islington called Women’s Habitat Shelter and Outreach. I knew it would go to women who were escaping violence with their children and probably needing to start over again from scratch. Toys and clothing would be...

I walked the length of Queen from Yonge to Roncesvalles last summer. So many interesting and beautiful heritage structures (may I suggest “Montreal-esque”?) that I’d love to see get this treatment. Add King Street as well.

Great pic! Judging by your username and two different pics coming into Pearson in short order…I’m guessing you fly for a living or have to fly a lot in the course of your living 😊

Just an update….I do volunteer work in Etobicoke for a few organizations. I mentioned previously I contacted my Etobicoke councillor, but never heard back. Even though the shabbiness of University Avenue is not her direct issue, it affects us all as a city…..e.g. tourism. I had emailed her...

I’ve lived here all my life….since 1961.

I’ll give you a hint…..when I bought on spec at Robert Watson Lofts up the street in the very early 2000’s, the developer was touting it as a great neighbourhood amenity to come soon……I waited 3 years on spec to move into Robert Watson. I lived there 5 years before selling. I’ve lived in my...

I went to the Tina Turner Mirvish musical today. I decided to walk from my home on Parklawn to the theatre at Yonge and Dundas. I was appalled when I got to Queen and University. The monument and fountains are gone. It was a dug up construction site. I searched it on here and googled…I...

Ahhhh….The Quest. Fond memories. There was Charlie’s (upstairs disco above the St. Charles, Crispin’s restaurant (Buddies downstairs), Tanks, Manatee (I came out there), Katrina’s. Went to Lipstick on Parliament with lesbian friends. Don’t forget the leather/biker bar on Eastern….seemed so...

I believe Bert and Ernie’s/Rockpile was near Cloverdale Mall. I attended a function held in the gold glass building. It was a restaurant/bar/event space called “Tramps”. I lived just down on Michael Power when they tore the building down.

Thank you for your responses.

Toronto, and the GTA for that matter, has a large number of high rise “nodes” throughout. I’m curious if members know if this is unique to our urban area, or if they know of a similar occurrence in any other North American cities. Where does Toronto or GTA stand in comparison?

Wow….just beautiful. They look like giant silver birch tree trunks lit up at night. How Canadian is that 🙂😊

And “SHE” be the reason younger men/and women….can fall for a grand older “Lady”! substance, style, class, elegance…plus “she’ll” teach you a thing or two 😊😂

At this rate…I suspect “condo street art” is headed toward large easels mounted on the sidewalks with a black velvet oil painting that glows at night under black lighting…or God forbid….a “paint by numbers” version of some historical time in the city. After that…it’s a slippery slope to a 5...

Thanks for the info Interchange. I wasn’t aware of that. 🙂

I’ve quoted Prince Charles “a carbuncle on the face of an old friend” in the Dominion Bldg on Front thread. These buildings deserve more than that as well. What’s next???…..a green glass pencil tower sprouting from the top of the Royal York Hotel or perhaps a shiny glass addition on top of...

There used to be a GoodLife Fitness in there. Did they move somewhere else nearby?
