They haven't actually applied for the Demo permit yet.

I watched a Star Trek movie marathon there; as well as the superb film 'The Gods Must Be Crazy'.

In respect of the former, I learned very clearly that sitting through 5 films in one day is at least 3 too many.

I also learned that Star Trek 1 is uniquely terrible, no matter how much sympathy you have for the franchise, viewing it should be classified as a form of torture in the form of intense boredom.

Now now, Star Trek: TMP is incredibly cerebral for a mainstream blockbuster, but I don't think I could call it terrible. Star Trek: Nemesis, on the other hand...

My mom took me to see The Gods Must Be Crazy at the University theatre in Yorkville. I recall really liking it, but I doubt that film could be made today...

All the tenants are out and it looks like it is getting prepped for demolition to begin soon:

Had some time to kill, so snapped a shot of each empty tenant:

And a couple pics from the rear of the site:

Indeed, permit was issued on Friday!

Shoring/New Building are both pending.

Haha. Missed the reflections. He's a cute one. I try to stay relatively anonymous on here, so that means keeping his identity secret too

As per Madison Group's IG story, the ceremonial groundbreaking for this project is being held today.

Updated demolition from the Yonge street frontage and shoring commenced in the rear. They have closed the sidewalk for the entire block on Yonge Street, for a month or more, and are forcing pedestrians walking on this west side of Yonge to cross the street to the east at Briar Hill and then cross back to the west side further south of this site. Very inconvenient! I would hope this will not be necessary for the entire construction period.
