DAM IT. Had already paid him.

I had it on my computer from years ago but only have this floor. I looked up more to find the balcony size to get an estimate of the total space (~8000 sq. ft) and found that the balcony could theoretically connect to the office space in the west (and east) wing to expand the shopping floor...

It's deceptively large because of the space behind where the ticket booths were. It's almost 8000 square feet when you include the balcony above that it has access to.

The long unleased space in the Great Hall would replicate the Grand Central Station Apple Store which is in their main hall on a balcony exactly like this in a similarly sized space. Apple does take great care to respect the architecture and setting but I just don’t think there needs to be an...

You’re right. The stats are absolutely skewed. People involved in bicycle collisions don’t have any way to identify a hit and run and there’s a perception that police don’t really take them seriously anyway because there’s no drivers license involved, no points deducted, it’s kind of a free for...

It was a matter of time, got hit by an e-scooter, the guy ran a solid red light at Queen and Bay, didn’t even attempt to slow down. I got a good bruise to show for it. I considered calling the police but what are they going to do, no license plate, he was wearing a helmet so no face. I’ve...

...or a MMMuffins. RIP

If I were Andy Byford and the union gave me shit for picking up a newspaper off the floor, I would pull them to the side in a private conversation so I wasn't embarrassing them publicly, then I would tell them in my friendliest British accent: "If your union members were performing their duties...

I have a memory of my dad taking me to that McDonald's when I couldn't look over the counter and he lifted me up so I could talk to the lady taking our order. I know there's a certain level of nostalgia around the Eaton Centre and its transformation affecting our perception of what should occur...

The only clean station on the network is Bessarion... because you know... (IYKYK) 😅 I'm happy to see station cleanliness being taken seriously. It addresses the perception of the TTC as a "poor man's commute", which if handled correctly helps improve ridership. It's a return to Andy Byford's...

Look, I'm pro-union but some of the union demands to preserve role integrity makes me roll my eyes. These things just make everything worse for everybody. Let me guess, a station manager can't pick up a newspaper from the floor or clean a quick spill because it'll take work away from the...

That's what I suspect it is. It's 10k to 15k square feet if you include a consolidation of 2 Queen West with a section of the mall facing spots, up to 20K feet if you include the second floor as well. It'll have to be a large chain restaurant that'll attract attention on its own and can take up...

Cleanliness isn't the first problem I think of when I think of how a station feels. The system wide missing ceiling slats gives a sense of disrepair no matter how clean the floor is. What is the deal with that? How hard can be it be to replace the slats when they're removed for access?

I remember that. There's still an opening that is sealed off. That cutout on the right of the 2 Queen West box led to an extension of Sportchek/Atmosphere where the Shoppers is, which itself connected to the mall.

100% There was a massive mountain of snow on the evening of the storm. I was the only schmuck at the office late at night on a Sunday, wading through snow up to my waist on my way home. Snow plows were out in full force. By the morning when again everyone called in a snow day, I made my way...
