Some pictures of Paradise are up on this blog...http://traveltorontonow.blogspot.ca/2013/11/paradise-cinema-to-be-demolished.html I thought this cinema was designated as a heritage structure?.....

Anyone know what's going on with the Paradise cinema at Westmoreland and Bloor? There's hoarding up blocking off the entrance way and a sign that says caution demolition that has gone up.....

Sorry I know this is the wrong thread, but I can't start new threads and I haven't found another one for this....Could someone start a new thread or point me to a better place to post this? Interesting 3 storey laneway project on Bartlett Avenue near Dufferin and Bloor. There's a boiler factory...

Not really new, just don't post often.....been a member for a long time. I contribute when I feel I have something to add that probably wouldn't be added by others....

Understandable.....buyers in the condo probably also don't want demos popping up outside (doubt 3 brewers does either).......anyways I thought it was relevant, but if the mod explains to me that it's contravening a UT policy I'll leave it at that....

Please take the Middle East debate elsewhere - Mod.

I did a Jane's Walk through here with Adam Vaughan last year. My understanding was that there were going to be small scale storefronts some of which would be subsidized and turned over to local businesses along Dundas and Augusta (kind of like the experiment in the shipping containers at Dundas...

A brief Walk from Garrison Commons to Cityplace....The pedestrian bridge here and at Cityplace will hopefully make this a well connected and used linear park right in the centre of the city. (There are 15 pics...I'm not sure if this is overkill, if it is I have them posted in an album on my...

Well the 4 migrant workers died due to criminal negligence...does that count for something? Taxi driving is the most lethal profession in terms of workers murdered....does that count? Are the numerous women who go missing and whose murders remain unsolved special enough to commemorate? I guess...

Honest Sympathy vs. Police Propaganda While I sympathize with Ryan Russells' family, it is important to ask questions when the first Toronto police officer to die on duty in the last 10 years is used to blast the public realm with pro-police propaganda. Why didn't we shut down the streets of...

Railpath extension Any updates?

I agree completely! It's beneficial for any neighborhood to have a mix of uses. Not to mention the environmental impact of demolishing a perfectly useful building to build a new one rather than filling in unused space (although admittedly Yorkville is pretty tightly paced these days).....

Areas like Museum campus in Chicago tend to be a mistake. Cultural institutions can provide a needed boost to communities and to take advantage of their full potential should be dispersed throughout the city. Also, if all located together, the region tends to become isolated in off hours.

Just because it's a club district today doesn't mean it will be a club district tomorrow.....Isn't the Club District's success already slowly killing it? http://www.nowtoronto.com/daily/story.cfm?content=172740 Do we really want to build districts without the infrastructure to accomodate a...

Jane Jacobs explicitly discussed the negative impacts of one way streets and limited access expressways in Dark Age Ahead (see pages 77-79)...

'Cause Jane's Walks are comin' up.... "....few city residential districts that do become outstandingly magnetic and successful at generating diversity and vitality are subjected ultimately to the same forces of self-destruction as downtowns. In this case, so many people want to live in the...

I also grew up in Thornhill (I remember the Country Style parking lot), and am also now a 20 something living in the city bitter about the burbs (although I miss the road hockey). With that said I think Thornhill has some potential (I'm still back frequently visiting the parents). The area of...
