Anyone go?

This is about Bloorcourt, not Bloordale....but we've kinda been jumping between the two on this thread anyways...... http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/neighbourhood-watch-why-bloorcourt-is-one-of-the-citys-most-diverse-places-to-live/article26439949/

Have they completed an avenue study for Dupont? I remember reading something about maintaining the lands adjacent to the rail corridor for employment, how would that play in to approving this development?

On a Jane's walk today Ana Bailao announced that renos will begin and it's expected to open in 10 months.....

Profitable is the wrong word. They weren't setting money aside for capital costs once services spread out into the metro area post WWII, but the TTC was pretty close to break even on operating costs until the extension and the ditching of the fare zones in '73 Here's a pretty good account of...

Fare zones on the subway weren't abandoned because they were a bad idea. They were abandoned as part of a deal with the provincial government to secure funding to extend the university line north on the Spadina side. TTC was actually profitable prior to this extension. This was partly thanks to...

The hole on Dupont between the annex and the junction triangle starting to fill.... http://www.blogto.com/eat_drink/2014/08/bellwoods_brewery_to_open_new_location_on_dupont_st/

hmmm wonder if the tenants would agree with you?

Gentrification Sad to hear that the residents of the hotel are being kicked out seemingly without any help to find affordable housing or any indication that affordable housing will be part of the refurbished building. Glad to hear the building will be fixed up and re-used, but unfortunately...

Any thoughts about the potential development at the TDSB site at Dufferin and Bloor? Heres a petition from the local mpp http://www.jonahscheinmpp.ca/tdsb

What will make or break this building is how well it meets the street and how well it meets the park. There's certainly potential for this location. I hope that this enhances the pedestrian experience......This may have already been mentioned, but will there be any interaction with the laneway?

Below is an email I received today from Cycle Toronto...I didn't realize we were this close to decision time about segregated bike lanes on Eglinton. Any thoughts? Anyone know if these would be segregated through the narrower section of the road as well? April 7, 2013 Action Alert: Write...

I don't think anyone has listed Goderich yet? The 2011 tornado did a number on the downtown, but still "the square" and impressive courthouse make it quite unique....Not to mention lake Huron and the waterfront.

Yes, sorry I should have been more clear. I heard rumours about both the Starbucks and the Country General plans. I was able to corroborate the Country General plans with BlogTo, but I haven't seen anything to confirm the Starbucks....It would be one hell of a big Starbucks, and I'd be much...

Apparently Paradise Cinema is going to be a new starbucks, and Beirut Palace (attached) will become the new location of Country General: http://www.blogto.com/eat_drink/2013/12/county_general_set_to_expand_to_bloor_st_queen_east/

50 & 52 Bartlett Street (3s,???) Interesting 3 storey laneway project on Bartlett Avenue near Dufferin and Bloor. There's a boiler factory in the laneway between Gladstone and Bartlett that's being converted into condo townhouses. I was at the community meeting for this a couple of weeks...

Walked by the theater this morning...they're busy taking off the black tiling from the exterior.....
