This is indeed true. Starbucks is setting up shop in the northernmost retail unit at the corner of Bay and Grosvenor Sts.

Quite a jarring sight yesterday, on my return from 10 days' vacation.

As I entered the Y on Grosvenor I looked across the street and observed workers removing the last few glass balcony fronts on north Murano building. This was expected, of course, but still it is quite a shock to see the denuded, off-limit balconies. Life in this 'burg ain't dull by any stretch.

Bay St. closed in both directions btwn College & Grosvenor due to falling glass. South tower this time?

Seriously not again!

Wow. They should rename the buildings as the "Falling Glass Towers" ...

From citytv:

A section of Bay Street is closed after glass fell from a building Tuesday.

The closure took effect around 11:45 a.m. on Bay between College and Grosvenor streets.

A company was apparently removing the glass when it shattered and fell.

There have been several incidents in which panes of glass have fallen from downtown condominium buildings. Coun. Kristyn Wong-Tam has called for an investigation into the recurring problem.

Aww.... I want a job.... I need money...

Does anyone have any pics of them replacing the glass? It would be interesting to see...

Why wouldn't one just re-clad it, rather than waste all that energy and material demolishing it? Seems highly irrational.

It's just balcony glass, settle down!

It's just balcony glass until someone gets hurt
