A good review of Kaiju, which appears to be the only restaurant in the food court right now (though correct me if I'm wrong). http://www.blogto.com/restaurants/kaiju-toronto

That place really is good. Every time I go there, the food court is almost always empty, which is sad because this place is reasonably priced and their Korean food is so good. I hope things pick up and this place stays in business.

Cue up "Trial by Jury"

hehe. Very good!

A couple of iPhone snaps of Aura and the skyline taken Saturday from the Leslie Street Spit a.k.a. Tommy Thompson Park:

I think Aura blends in well with the nearby buildings (in the third picture).

I think another building of similar height in Aura's vicinity would help with the aesthetics.

Nearby buildings would only need to be as high as the boxy section of Aura to improve the aesthetics.

Yes, sort of like making it wear a skirt! However, it really would be like putting lipstick on a pig - Aura looks OK - or even quite good from some vantage points - at the top but ghastly at street level (and the less said about the poor sad 'mall' part the better!)

From yesterday evening:

This one's a bit wavy as the phone was in Pano mode.

Are you using a new iPhone 6? I have the new iPhone 6 and the photos I'm able to get with it are much better than with the 5.

There is a mall part?

There is a mall part?

There are some tiny spaces in the basement - note that I put "mall" in quotes!

And she is off. The last piece of canopy was taken down between 9pm-3am last night, and being right beside it (with the window open), it sounded like an explosion which scared the hell out of me.

Those are from the 5s.
