The Tenor (10 Dundas St E, Ent Prop Trust, 10s, Baldwin & Franklin)

Didn't you hear? It's now going to be known as Future Shop Centre for Best Buys

They should have made that future shop sign a large neon sign.

 

[casaguy]

Isn't one Future Shop sign enough?

It's never enough!!!!

Ten! Twenty! Fifty! Five Thousand signs!!!!

Bigger!!! Brighter!!!! Flashing faster!!!!

More products!!! New and improved!!!!

I am so embarrassed by this project. (And this is coming from a capitalist at heart).

This whole thing is tacky and classless.

 

[spaced]

Yes, it is tacky.
The tourists are going to love it!

 

[casaguy]

And the tourists will say, "Wow! They tried to copy Times Square! Let's see if they've got an Arby's here!" and that will be the end of it.

 

[Edward Skira]

As long as the tourists like it who cares. Its a major addition to the area and that can only be a good thing. And I''m glad to get some more movie screens downtown.

[casaguy]

I'm really looking forward to:

Interior network advertising screens ( seems interesting!)
Exterior Advertising ( started out Superbad..now looks slightly better)
Food Court & Restaurants ( I will be on the patio.)
Adidas store!! - (head to toe in adidas trackers for me)
The last part of the development project at 277 Victoria and Hakim Opitical.
Hotel Condo and Tower?? hopefully it wont take 10 years to complete.

Is there a hotel & condo going up at TLS? I never heard that before

 

[caltrane74]

yes, its the last phase of dundas square, held up by the lagging construction of Metropolis.

It will go where the HAkim and 277 Victoria Stand now.

 

[MetroMan]

Think two FutureShop signs is too much? Try three! There's a third one above the entrance and I actually think it's appropriate.

FutureShop is no doubt paying a high premium to have an entire floor of TLS reaching from Yonge, along Dundas to Victoria. Why shouldn't they be able to point their signs on each of those corners?

As a matter of fact, they're doing it right. Their signs are of the highest quality with inner lit individual letters plus they have a ticker.

I was just down there and I can attest to the fact that this is going to be one HUGE FutureShop. It's very brightly lit and is going to be quite the change for the associates moving from the cave up on Yonge St.

Also, I think I could make out where the Adidas sign will go. Slowly, this is turning out to be quite nice (aside from the PenEquity sign and the lack of correct spacing of the mini screens).

here are my pics from today.

here is that plywood thats a place holder for w/e material is going to go there. this however is not going to happen on dundas.
