    Toronto Toronto | Ïce Condominiums at York Centre | 234.07m | 67s | Lanterra | a—A

    Yep. love the outside. Inside it's a giant seedy 2 star motel. From what i have heard from people who used to live at ICE the condo is basically a vertical red light district! lol How is this legal? It's build as a condo for people to live in, it's not a commercial hotel. Airbnb is...

    Hudson's Bay Company

    Yes they did. They took over the Woolco store at Fairview Mall in Kitchener. It's still going.

    The seemingly terminal decline of Tim Hortons

    It's mostly newly landed south Asian immigrants that are working at Tim Horton's in the GTA. It's been like that for years. My boyfriends dad knows a lot of Indian immigrants that came to Toronto in the 70s, without a dime to their name, and they bought a Tim Horton's franchise for cheap...

    Nordstrom

    I'm amazed the people i know that didn't even know Nordstrom existed. 😆 Talking with my friend, he's in late 30s, he never heard of Nordstrom, my two young co-workers in their early 20s, also never heard of Nordstrom, one of them is a girl too. Nordstrom didn't connect with the younger...

    The seemingly terminal decline of Tim Hortons

    I'm sure Horton's will be fully automated in the near future. Right now it's probably cheaper to pay newly landed immigrants who have no idea what a horrible company Tim Horton's is. Once they realize the hell they stepped into and the fact Horton's keeps you part time basically forever...

    The seemingly terminal decline of Tim Hortons

    And they always stick the workers who can't speak English on the counter lol. Tim's would be better off having self serve for walk in customers, i can pour my own coffee and pay and be out in seconds.

    The Weather

    Another storm about to hit. https://www.cp24.com/news/toronto-bracing-for-new-winter-storm-that-could-dump-up-to-30-cm-of-snow-1.6297416 Note to drivers. That one or two minutes it takes to clear snow off your SUV or Tesla, might just save pedestrian's lives.

    Toronto Toronto | Eaton Centre (Ongoing Renewal) | ?m | ?s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

    Anchors are a thing of the past unless it's Walmart🤮 An Eaton Centre Walmart would probably do extremely well. All these Walmart's are absolutely enormous and they are always busy. And there is so many stores around!

    Nordstrom

    Huge blow for the boomer market and the 40 to 50 crowd. They are the ones with the disposable income that were shopping at Nordstrom. Millennials and Gen Z's are into thrifting or fast fashion. There is so many great stores and online retailers. You don't need to spend thousands of...

    Nordstrom

    Wow that's going to be a huge chunk of mall retail real estate sitting empty. I rarely ever shopped at Nordstorm, it was too expensive, if i'm going to spend those prices i will just go to Harry Rosen, better service. Nordstorm in the US are way better stores. You can get some great...

    Toronto events and festivals

    Yeah i gave up going as well. Last time i went i got some wicked food poisoning from one of the food stands. Spent a good 24 hours hugging my toilet bowl. Not sure what i was thinking that day. Food sitting outside for god knows how long in hot humid weather, what could possibly go wrong? I...

    How to solve homeless issue?

    Now we got to deal with thousands of homeless migrants. Many of them will end up in Toronto. Quebec is sending bus loads of them to Ontario. Where exactly are we going to house them???? Migrant encampments will pop like you see in NYC. What mess NYC is in. Too many asylum seekers not...

    Health Canada says no level of alcohol is safe

    No wonder sales are down, i think everyone and their grandmother smokes weed. You can't walk three feet in this city without smelling it. I had friends of mine visiting from Norway last month, they couldn't believe the amount of cannabis shops around the city, they stopped and took photos...

    Yonge-Dundas Square/Sankofa Square (Brown + Storey Architects)

    Hard Rock was awful but it was always packed and the patio was a great place to people watch. it was still better than having yet another Shoppers Drug Mart. It would have been nice to see a better restaurant in its place but the greedy landlord wanted something nuts like $2 million per year...

    The 1980s trend of removing porch roofs

    Some porches with the overhang were turned into sun room or mud rooms, or the wall was taken out and the porch became part of the living room. Doesn't look great from the outside, but you do get more square footage. I love my porch. I will never get rid of it. My backyard space isn't...

    LCBO / The Beer Store

    Stock up. Price hike yet again. I feel sorry for all the independent bars, restaurants, distilleries, craft brewers, wineries, across Canada who are still trying to recover from the COVID restrictions. :(

    Yonge-Dundas Square/Sankofa Square (Brown + Storey Architects)

    Can you imagine a green space here? It would be turned into an encampment and public toilet within hours of opening. The safe injection site is right there and the old Bond Place hotel is homeless shelter. It's not the right place to build a zen garden lol

    Yonge-Dundas Square/Sankofa Square (Brown + Storey Architects)

    Love or hate it, Times Square sure does have some spectacular 3D billboards. Tourists go there for the street performers, visuals, and to people watch. They aren't there for the architecture or the food. You got hundreds of other streets in NYC for that. Y&D could use some updated 3d...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Another disturbing incident, man pushed onto the tracks. You just don't know what psycho is lurking around the station. I always have a plan on subway platforms. I never stand by the edge and I lean against the pillars if possible, so no one can get behind me...
