Yonge Street is Toronto's 'Main' Street, right? It should come as no shock to anybody nor offer any offense that this should be ground zero in the city for commerce and retail, crass or otherwise. The Learning Centre design is spectacular but is it what is needed at the heart of the Yonge/Dundas area? This is definitely good for Ryerson but is it good for the health and vitality of retail in the area, which is it the traditional cultural use of this street? Heck, I can be as distracted as anybody else by a pretty design but I can't help but feel it takes itself just a little too seriously for this neck of the woods.
... and maybe it's just nostalgia but lets have the Sam's sign back on Yonge! Heritage monument to garish consumerism or pretty art installation, Yonge Street is where the sign belongs or at least where it should belong.
