Toronto The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

Loved the look of the lights here. I'll need to retake this one when it's fully complete.

And just when you thought that the new landscaping and surfaces on Wellington St. were too good to be true, the smell of spray paint comes wafting over the sidewalk. When you admire the green graffiti all over the sidewalk near the corner of Wellington and Spadina, you have this individual to thank! Apparently they pay more taxes than most people in the city, so they can spray paint what they want. /sigh

...er..percentage wise, they probably do. But that's not the point though...nobody gave this doofus permission to do this. And if they claim to be the culprit, the book should be thrown at them (and no pun intended here).

They were the culprit. I came across them in the act of spraying, and they proudly posed for multiple pictures next to their work when I challenged them. I doubt that they pay tax and my guess is that they may sleep on it tonight, literally. As a local resident, I am sooo tired of this crap.

Er, they do...unless they're stealing everything outright. But as I said, that's not the point..nor do I want to get into that for this conversation...

...but congratulations, you now have evidence that TPS (Toronto Police Service) are interested in. You might want to give them a call...even better, since this would fall under vandalism, I think you can /report this using their online services. Either way, check it out...and good luck to you!
 
I am finding The Well to be a great meeting place especially if the other party is coming in from outside the city. Tonight was the first time that I have been there after 6pm and it was fairly busy. Also it looks good at night and doesn’t have that dead feeling some spaces get after workers go home. Just wondering what the lighting situation is going to be on Wellington as it looks a bit dark.

They ought to come up with a spray product that disintegrates the spray paint right on the spot with no fuss involved !
 
There is a music event at The Well on Sunday on the Main Stage. Where is that exactly?

It already exists; however, you can't use it on walking surface.

Anti-Graffiti Coating | Sherwin-Williams

Help your customers solve graffiti problems with Sherwin-Williams Anti-Graffiti Coating. This unique siloxane product creates a non-stick surface that repels graffiti from paint, paint spray cans and permanent markers and doesn't require solvent cleaning or abrasives for removal.

The conventional versions are not intended, however, for a surface you would walk on.

Though there are some products out there that claim to protect granite pavers without affecting slip resistance. I don't have any real experience w/them.
 
Mandy’s being fitted out. I have to admit after a long time of minimalist interiors I am finding this refreshing. This has me thinking that maybe it is time to reintroduce wallpaper into my life. Lol

I also went to the arcadia earth. It's definitely family oriented. Things kids would find interesting. More of a museum and art gallery. Though if you do decide to go, make sure you check out the VR setup. It's really cool.
Overall a nice family attraction that brings more people to the area, the live entertainment when you leave the building is really cool.
Personally i wouldn't pay $40 for it, but as a family attraction could be a fun way to spend about an hour
 
I went to the Arcadia Earth yesterday and met the owner Craig about his vision and passion for the art and sustainability for our planet. It was a very cool VR multi sensory experience and educational show. We spent 2 hours there. It is a permanent location that they brought over from NYC and Vegas. Thank you again @generalcanada
