Ooooh, Superior Lofts (smells more like inferior lofts ammiright?1?) Replete with 10 ft ceilings (a Toronto 'Loftz' must-have), ticky-tacky EFIS (weathers so well in Canada) and Rehashed Quonset Hut cladding. So worth the destruction of that lovely stone cottage... This town is becoming the...

Glad they're keeping those facades. Too bad about Mascot but it looks like they'll be room for a new Shoppers and a Rexall (fingers crossed!)

Omg! This is soooo disappointing! I was really counting on a Shoppers Drug Mart here. Now how am I supposed to shop local and keep earning those PCOptipoints??? Devastated.

Agree on B-Streets...unfortunately it is an exception to the rule. I worry a bit about the loss of these cheapish, smallish (fine-grained) spaces where entrepreneurs could take a chance on a small business idea. It's understandable that retail is dying but I think it's taking down whole...

A Taco Bell might be slightly optimistic! TB/KFC (or whatever sludgy/slurry twofer/combo they come in these days) is probably too dirty a tenant for a new building. My guess is 'The Social' retail will just be another run of dirty windowed, endlessly 'For Lease' streetlife-killing garbage we do...

Some bistro tables would make scratching all those amazing scratch cards soooo much easier, too! ...and all of those points could be used to buy enough toilet paper to totally animate the square! Seriously though, I hope this new SDM brings more tourism to Toronto (and diverts some of those...

Silly? I thought everybody loved disruptors these days! Holdouts are what makes city building fascinating (and cute little ‘FUs’ to fat 'n lazy blockbuster developers). Also, let’s face it: at best this project will net out somewhere between the suburban monotony of Liberty Village and the...

Yes. I am also able to do maths. My comment has to do with the loss of another low-rise building in what's been branded a "village." If the villagesque neighbourhood loses its village charms is it not time to change the village name to avoid confusion amongst the villagers? How 'bout: 'Rainbow...

The Regent Park pool is fantastic. Hope this one turns out half as well. It could become #2 in the 'hood (as long as they keep the #1 content under control!)

I guess we're losing another cool little walk-up apartment building at 64 Wellesley! GO TORONTO! Pretty soon all renters will be relegated to grim, soulless little boxes replete with photocopy Melmac™ flooring and Nev-R-Last® cabinetry made by Asian kids...

Um, you forgot "World-Class." O/T: I lament (sort of) the removal of Eds not because it was a go-to Toronto experience (honestly, I personally never bought a thing there) but that it represents a Toronto that is being erased every day. You and your ilk may love the bland and corporate bedroom...

Or: "Paris, the city of light. Toronto, the city of blight." I'm getting Tory on the phone. Like, now.

I'm not sure that Honest Eds was any more tacky/tackier than the rest of Toronto. I mean, have you looked around? This ain't exactly Paris.

Hopefully those homely little restaurants will be replaced by a great new RBC or Subway (we need more diverse and exciting retail options downtown!) Or, fingers crossed, maybe it'll be one of those Aroma cafe thingees with lots of napping space for sleepy students...

I'd say the existing (former) church is among the only buildings worth saving along this dreadful stretch of Gerrard. The new building looks like it'll blend in perfectly with that goddamn miserable apartment thingee to the east and help inch the block closer to that charming Sudbury EI office...

Fantastic! Another lovely building lost... Here's to turning this grubby town into Dallas, Ontario.

Needs more unibro(w)...

What a shame these charming little buildings had to go. Really looking forward to the inevitable McModern crap that replaces them! Yeah, I know: density blah blah...transit corridor blah blah blah... Here's to Every Street becoming Bay Street

Much angles. Many trendy! I think I've seen this idea somewhere before...

Why is every 'now' shot of this town so goddamn depressing?
