    Toronto Toronto | Aura at College Park | 271.87m | 78s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

    The organizers behind the 222 Spadina market did a couple of pop-ups in the basement level, including this past weekend. It was interesting to see the space with a bunch of people in it. I wouldn't be totally shocked if that was the highest traffic the place has seen in years, possibly ever. The...

    Toronto Toronto | College Park Revitalization with Barbara Ann Scott Skate Trail | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | RAW Design

    The 'tent' is back. But grey and split up into multiple parts... (technically I guess this isn't part of the park, but close enough)

    Recreating the Metro (Adult) Theatre 677 Bloor St W

    This post suggests that the theatre is presently 'being gutted to make way for a rock climbing gym'. Anyone know more about this? (I assume it would be a bouldering gym given the building's short height)

    Toronto Toronto | Aura at College Park | 271.87m | 78s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

    I pass by this tower every day and while I've gotten used to it my opinion has only cemented regarding Aura: it's good from afar, but far from good. Yes, it's tall, but that doesn't excuse the mediocre mishmash. Could have been so much better looking. And we're stuck with it. Oh well, that's...

    Toronto Toronto | Fort York Visitor Centre | ?m | 2s | Fort York Foundation | Patkau

    I attended the opening reception for the Visitor Centre this evening and took a few snaps. Overall I think the space is lovely, and it is the culmination of literally decades of effort and persistence bringing the facility into reality. The one part I had qualms about was the 'immersive ramp' in...

    Miscellany Toronto Photographs: Then and Now

    I happened to have spent time tracking down the institutional attribution of the first photo. It is "Aerial view of the Canadian National Railways yard in downtown Toronto. Toronto, Ontario, Canada. 1951". It's held at the Canada Science and Technology Museum, Ottawa: CN002868 A decent...

    The Esplanade 1907

    A comparative map to the 1913 one is this "1945 Toronto Terminals Railway: Toronto Viaduct - Plan of Trackage between Don Station & Bathurst Jct AS CONSTRUCTED" It shows (more or less) the apex of railway construction across the foot of Toronto.

    650 Bay St Boutique Hotel Redevelopment (Lanterra, ?s, ?)

    Thought I'd cap off this thread now that the hotel is operational, with a few links: - A super-light overview of the project, with some pictures pre-reno (kind of a refresher if you don't want to look back through this whole thread) - a review of the hotel, with interior photos. (blogto) - and...

    Miscellany Toronto Photographs: Then and Now

    Someone posted this on r/toronto the other day, with the amusing title, "Construction on River and Gerrard is taking a LONG time": (I didn't see it here so sorry if this is a repeat)

    Section 37 benefits review

    There appears to have been a database created here. It's not posted (nor is it clear how up to date it is) but perhaps you could contact the authors... (their contact form explicitly mentions "request a copy of [...] individual ward statistics"]
