Passed by the CIrcle K on St Clair/Oakwood and it closed permanently on Jan 28 due to constant security issues https://www.blogto.com/eat_drink/2024/01/circle-k-closing-toronto/

Found this article with badly extracted text that mentioned "Toronto artist Edgar Jastram of Ashley and Ciippen." which probably refers to Ashley & Crippen

Isn't this site only the parking lot beside the dealership?

You're probably looking at the Pushtimargiya Vaishnav Samaj that's almost 2km NW from there, I'm talking about this place:

Offtopic, but it's interesting how many different religious places there are within a 2km radius of Steeles and Bayview There's a synagogue right by a mosque, buddhist, hindu, taoist, and zoroastrian temples, the baha'i centre, tyndale university, brebeuf college, and the bayview glen church...

The area around the church could really use a facelift like St James park just south of there. Beautiful building with much needed greenery in the core, but in such a terrible state. I'm guessing the parking lot is a good source of income for them though.

This is the ugliest proposal I've seen in a while

They should really change the all green to a forward arrow and add a left turn arrow as well to replace all the signs.

Looks like a suburban tumor

Great to see the seas of lawn and parking being slowly built up along this strip of Bathurst. It'd be nice to see some small retail here as well for when the strip malls are gone

Speaking from experience of having lived nearby for a while, no one who buys those condos will care because they travel exclusively by car, and and a lot of the owners don't actually live there

East side elevator came off

Maybe not a crazy exotic but the car is an AMG which is the high performance division of Mercedes. The factory standard engine for the c63 AMG puts out 470 hp.
