If the cat doesn't show up, this whole park is a flop IMO.

I saw them testing it yesterday. It is FANTASTIC. We need tons more of this in this city of grey cladding and glass.

The park is going to be a big success. Especially the fountain. Still fenced off and not turned on yet I saw all sorts of people checking it out and taking pictures.

Incredible photo from 1980!, the year I moved to Toronto area in fact.

Anyone have a recent photo from the same vantage point? I will dig through the thread as well but if anyone has one readily accessible I would love to see it! Thank you
