True, but they need to get going on the corners for 59 or there won't be anything to connect it to...

Yeah but if you remember from the last mechanical level it took them longer to get these done and I think they usually align it with the hanger becoming available we will probably see them start working on floor 59's corners in the next week or two getting prepped for the hangers

Perhaps in the late 70s, early 80s it was “stabby” but most of Downtown Yonge was pretty sketchy in those days. At least so I’m to understand from Garth and Gord and Fiona and Alice; I’m not old enough for personal experience.

Okay, I'm very late in answering this (but I'm actually finally catching up with this way over-heated thread), so let me say this: joking around about TO by the beloved SCTVers notwithstanding, I went to high school downtown in the late 70s, early 80s, and Bloor-Yonge wasn't remotely stabby. This corner was home to the Uptown, the Towne, and the Plaza cinemas, while a couple of blocks south was the Showcase. People were around the area all the time because of the movies, and I never thought twice about whether there was a reason to not visit...

...but further south on Yonge was another matter. Sam The Record Man and A&A's created huge sidewalk traffic just north of Dundas station, but yeah, go just north of them by a couple buildings, and there were some sketchy blocks there.
