Soon the downtown core will be nothing but coffee shops and food halls, and I’m here for it.

I’m happy to report that at Queens Cross you can get two hot dogs for eight bucks and they’re good.

It's often faster to ride a bike than to take transit or drive. Not typically on a street like suburban Eglinton, but certainly anywhere downtown or along Yonge up to Eglinton (barring maybe the big hill, which is solved with an e-bike).

It has a Cinnabon. Can't really get any better than that.

One of the owners of a stand there told me that when phase 2 is done, there'll be another food court on the other side of the rail deck park which will have cheaper chain-type options. Because while there's good stuff at Table, it's pretty $$$.

I'd wait until the pavers are back in before we get an "I told you so".

Carolyn Bennett has had it personally locked down for two decades, but prior to her it was basically a swing seat (technically not Toronto St. Pauls, which was only created in its current form in 2015)..

I believe they were soybean silos. But we've seen at Bathurst that they can be pretty nice when polished up.

Any shots of the car that cost us a day’s subway service?

I was thinking of this, but one says “SPEAKEASY HERE”

When I first moved to Toronto I lived at Yonge and Eglinton (it was really different back then) but I was laser focused on eventually living in the annex, which I managed to do for about 15 years until having a kid made me leave for more affordable space. I didn't care about Honest Ed's, but...

Eventually there will be a "speakeasy" with a neon sign visible from the 401 next to a gas station and a chain hotel.

I’ve been meaning to go there forever. Too late, I guess.

Can't you just program that drone to go out there and do it for you? Put it on a timer or something?

This can't be true, can it?

Who wants to get up early enough to see a sunrise during any time of the year when the weather is good.

It didn't happen here. A numbered corporation was liable for the tax. The tenant who was on the lease and living in the unit was never held liable for a cent of it. They should change the rule. But there's a reason nobody has ever heard of a tenant being held liable for the tax payable by their...

He said he was having his corporation pay the rent on his behalf because it was administratively convenient. Sure. Here's a link to the case if you're interested: https://canlii.ca/t/jwg9p

It always "works" in that it frees up units that the wealthier people would otherwise occupy. The extent to which it "works" for people at the lowest end of the income spectrum depends on all of those factors.

The moral of the story is that if you are using a numbered corporation to pay your residential rent on your behalf so that you don't have to pay it out out of post-tax income, you'd better be squeaky clean about it. Which is not to say that the rule as drafted is good - it would allow the...
