Non sequitur, but I just remembered that Toronto has both a Foxley St and an Oxley St. Not confusing at all!

The former is just a little more risque ;p


Secondly, when I saw the graffiti on the billboard it made me think of @kotsy and your wonderful Where's Waldo name searches.

It's being turned into a public park with the parking being shifted to within the underground parking of this condo.

True, but there is the new orders down from Gov't of Ontario that I believe is forcing the change to accept it in tighter areas. Someone correct me or explain further if they can.

What’s odd about this one is I believe it was orchestrated before that change (which still doesn’t have the implementing provincial regulations out to actually detail how it would work, btw).

I imagine the only reason it happened was driven by Green P being involved.

The city has this site listed as one of their "CITY-OWNED ‘HOUSING READY’ SITES" - with 350 units identified here.

Anyone know whats up with that? I thought this was primarily a privately owned condo.

Ongoing demolition activities - really moving quite quickly, especially compared to some others which have been seen....
