Twice in the last few nights I've been on subways lines partly shut down due to the unspecified "security incidents", after having gone several months without running into that situation. Is it maybe related to the weather getting cooler?

Is it being dismantled?

Have they said where this FIFA Fan Festival will be? I would assume it will likely be in the parking lot immediately south of the stadium. Is it just a big screen with a viewing area, maybe with a big tent with a few hundred folding chairs and a few displays around it...

I wonder if they will try to have a Leafs game at the baseball stadium? Also, strange situation now with Bell paying for broadcast rights of teams owned by Rogers. Edit: Rogers/Sportsnet has never cared about the CFL, and will presumably unload the Argos as soon as possible after this deal is...

It's something I don't know much about, but I saw this website on invasive species -- mostly plants, insects, and fish -- in Ontario. https://www.invasivespeciescentre.ca/ I had also never heard of this large project in Simcoe County that involved removing non-native plant species and...

If no one is interested in buying the property and the remaining stores leave, I wonder if Honeydale Mall provides a smaller example of the possible future of Woodbine Centre. Honeydale Mall has been abandoned and fenced off for almost 11 years now...

It's almost certainly House Sparrows that habitually get inside large buildings like grocery stores, etc. They are an introduced species, so not protected like most other birds, and exterminators can legally get rid of them...

link I think I can guess what happens next. The indoor amusement park gets closed down because it's haunted. The Mystery Machine van arrives at Woodbine Mall with four teenagers and their Great Dane. They investigate, catch, and unmask the mall's former owner, who immediately says something...

FWIW, their website presently states "Occupancy: Fall 2025".

It looks like there's also a Toronto Oktoberfest (oddly on the last weekend in September) at id8Downsview YZD, apparently moved to the inside of a hangar there from a big tent-like thing at Fort York last year, though I'd never heard of it before now. Just for another comparison of the size of...

I stopped to look at this counter/sign thing on the north side of Bloor St W at Oakmount for a minute or two yesterday (02 Sep 2024) just before 7:30 pm. I saw the "Cyclists today" number increase by one each time as six westbound bikes passed, so I assume it's reasonably accurate.

It's getting up to street level, so the views from passing subway trains are better than from the sidewalk.

I've already griped about this in the other thread for the proposed "new"/rebuilt venue, but if they're going to keep the current Budweiser Stage operating, they need to add another or replace the one pedestrian bridge that remains with a much wider new one. It's presently a horrendous...

Wow. I didn't know someone putting videos on YouTube could bring in enough money for something that large and elaborate. I believe Downsview Park would usually refer to the "Festival Terrace" in the existing Downsview Park to the west side of the railway tracks, rather than a Downsview Airport...

I don't see how this Woodbine GO train station will be of much use. It's at the far deserted corner of the large Woodbine race track area, not at the spectator and casino part of it, and otherwise by a large sprawling industrial (and mostly non-pedestrian) area, as can be seen from the...

An 11 pm curfew, like at the island airport, would likely be another problem limiting its professed usefulness. For example, people attending a show at one of the Fallsview theatres wouldn't be starting to exit the venue until about 10 pm or later, so there would be no chance of them making it...

He said that when Pearson (and I think other airports in Canada and around the world) had trouble with delays almost entirely because of a shortage of staff. He didn't explain how an expanded island airport -- presumably with the same total number of available airport workers in the GTA now...

I recently had Google transit directions tell me to get to Aurora by getting on a southbound train at Bloor (this is the Kitchener line) and then stay on the same train as it would then become a northbound train on the Barrie line. When the train arrived at Union, there was no announcement about...

FWIW, this article from 2008 said Woodbine Centre was "managed by Darton Property". I don't know if the Peter McCallion mentioned in the article (as being the mall's general manager at that time) is Hazel's son...

https://www.ttc.ca/news/2024/August/TTC-increasing-service-to-The-Ex-for-CNE I've taken this several times over the last three years during the CNE. They make it very clear with repeated announcements (almost to the point of being annoying) before the bus doors close and it leaves that it's a...
