I know it's a stereotype, but gay people are supposed to be design savvy. LOL. However, most things in Toronto are done on the cheap. I'm hoping they don't come back in their 2013 form.
Priape has closed.
Sex is what differentiates us. It's definitely sad news for a bunch of Canadian villages.
Some of you are serious haters. I loved the parklets, and I loved the colours.
As for them attracting homeless, you don't think nicer parklets wouldn't attract homeless people too?
The parklets aren't the problem, the homeless are. And that's a separate issue.
Could more expensive parklets be built? Sure. Although I'd be totally fine with them reducing the number of lanes on Church St.
but there are still 3 other stores in this village for the communities needs
Hi, can you name these stores? I didn't realize there were stores similar to Priape in the village. Thanks!
Those parklets were actually quite well received and well used. They did not attract homeless people. In case anybody hasn't noticed, homeless people are all over downtown Toronto. Mostly the parklets were used by people in the community. At night, it was used by bar patrons, especially smokers. I spent many afternoons and nights, hanging out on Church Street and I quite enjoyed them.
As for Priape, it's a big loss for the Village. It was my favourite store in the Village and it had items no other store has. I hope some new stores open to replace it or at least bring something new to the Village.
You ought to talk to the retailers and restaurants that had these unfortunate parklets dumped at their doorsteps.
You ought to talk to the retailers and restaurants that had these unfortunate parklets dumped at their doorsteps. All day and night they had to send staff out to quell one situation after another. i.e. stolen goods, stolen food, beggars, dealers, homeless people and their dogs setting up what amounts to another Occupy Movement Camp.
As for Priape closing, you can buy spicy underwear and dildos online.
