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

    Like how this is turning out. Definitely giving "quiet luxury" vibes - not flashy, but fine-grained detail and charm.

    Johnny Au is definitely trying to make fetch happen with his "Champagne Corner." I'm not sure whether persistence will be successful in getting people to refer to it that way, but hey, it's worked in the past, so I can see why he's trying it out. I'm not interested in calling it the Champagne...

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    I think a lot of the points above are correct, but at the end of the day, I think that "success" and "failure" are primarily just fancy ways of saying "I like this area" and "I don't like this area." People still live in "unsuccessful" neighbourhoods and like them, and feel happy in them. It...

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

    Nice to see that Markham is getting closer to reopening! Seeing it brings back memories in a weird, unexpected way - there's some areas of the city that are so tied to a part of one's life that seeing them after a long time feels sad. The magic that used to animate those spaces is gone...

    Wow, Patrick Brown is really sucking up to Ford! I'm guessing Brown hopes that Dougie just forgets all the ways he hates Brown: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/doug-ford-brown-allegations-1.4907330 "That's disgusting, that is absolutely disgusting that you would side with someone like...

    Has anyone been to the Island this year? What is the erosion at Hanlan’s like?

    Alex B. does good work, but he has a bit of "columnist-itis" - when you have to crank out articles on a particular subject regularly, and you have to justify your paycheck, you tend to take extreme positions. I think Northern Light has pointed out a fairly strong weakness in his most recent...

    I'm loving our mint overlord!

    Toronto Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    A section of this forum thinks that City Place is a collection of some of the mediocre/anti-urbanist buildings in the City, and that Concord cheaps out on cladding. Concord was responsible for the City Place master plan. Personally, I think a lot of the complaints about City Place are...

    According to the Weather Channel, we haven't had "normal" spring rains - it's been very wet. 7th rainiest on record!

    Cool shots as always, @hawc Is there some light flooding going on to the east of where the river meets Villiers? The river level seems high. (I guess normal for this time of year even though I imagine there's not a ton of snow melt.)

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

    What I don't understand is $5000 a month for two bedrooms. Who is paying that? If you can afford $5000 a month, why aren't you buying a place?

    Land Acknowledgements and Reconciling Our Settler History

    Reading these responses, I can tell that issues about Indigenous people and race brings up a lot of fear and anxiety for people! It seems like people want simple answers like "the past is past" or "everyone was discriminated against in the past" so that they don't have to feel personally...

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Folks, why does this have to re-explained? The reason they don't want duplicate names of stations is for emergency services. In an emergency, you want to make sure that emergency services arrive at the right place, and any sort of duplication could cause needless deaths...
