RCS jumping today.

 

[elad]

It will likely be built, but someone is going to have to take some big losses on earlier financing. One of the few businesses left where a risk is truly a risk!

When you walk out of Bloor Station and look straight up at it it really is something to behold. Probably the most interesting looking supertall in Toronto right now.

Yonge and Bloor (aka the Golden Corner or the Champagne Corner):

Every time someone calls this "Golden Corner" or "Champagne Corner" I laugh and think of Cape of Good Hope, which was really all stormy and awful. Or how they called it Greenland when it was all ice.

Yonge & Bloor has a stabby, edgy vibe to it topped only by the likes of Yonge & Dundas or Sherbourne and Shuter.

There's nothing Champagne or Golden about it! Haha.

Not even really the colours.

Not sure about stabby per say, is this area known for stabbings?

I agree that this corner will neve be called the golden or champagne corner amongst anyone outside of UT. Honestly, that's a good thing. Yonge and Bloor sounds more mature and appropriate, and everyone will know where to meet. Imagine telling friends to meet at the Champagne corner? Nobody has time for that explanation.

I'm picturing you at your most urbane, standing on the corner, calmly, as your waiter hands you a long-stemmed glass of straw hued Veuve, alive w/bubbles.......... and thinking what's so hard about that explanation? LOL

Yonge and Bloor isn't really known for anything other than a lot of pedestrians and traffic. It certainly isn't considered dangerous in any particular way.

/sigh

Yonge and Bloor will always mean the hulking block long, street vibe-killing, precast monster (HBC) to me... and why no-one has figured out how to punch some windows and doors into the thing. W Hotel was a bit of a start.

 

[adHominem]

Yonge & Bloor is hardly considered particularly stabby (except, perhaps, in the conservative imagination, where all cities are always hotbeds of violent crime and all manner of perversion)

 

[hawc]

Stabby vibe. Not stabby in reality.

The corner always feels a little on edge.

But nowhere near as edgy as Dundas & Yonge.

Individual perceptions may vary.

 

[evandyk]

I guess I'm just not sure what a "stabby vibe" is if it doesn't refer to any actual danger, much less stabbings.
