Toronto 7 St Thomas | 38.71m | 9s | St. Thomas | Hariri Pontarini

Wait...people really complained about the possibility of retail here? And the city listened?

If so, that's terrible. Just terrible.
 
I know! I had assumed that retail would be coming back! I hate hearing about these things. Just last week I heard that some residents in a newly constructed condo on Queen East were objecting to a street patio in the new Aroma there because of noise concerns, and I was similary dumbstruck then. Noise concerns from a coffee shop patio?! Who are these people who are so averse to any activity at street level? It's even more unbelievable in this location, right in the core.

And rest assured, they probably aren't mute when they go to the patios.

From this morning.

Some ground level glazing is appearing. The heritage buildings are really coming along. Sorry I know it is hard to see the brickwork behind the screen.

I can't help but say I wish this was way more prominent on the skyline. The quality is stunning.
