^ Hilarious. Like so?

This is one of the more morbidly-amusing threads I've seen in a while.

Remember, somebody saying "the building is 70% sold," is just like Worf telling the captain "the shields are down to 30%!" It happens every episode, and implies impending drama while functionally meaning nothing.

Thanks Colin for reposting those photos of the lost deco buildings. It's poignant, but had they survived, at this moment they'd be in the process of having their facades jacked up on iron supports so as to be pinned back onto the front of Aura like hallowe'en masks. Maybe it's best they went...

A pox on condo-site musak!

Wow, Steveve, that's pretty comprehensive! I guess the only word for that update would be... epic. This thing's looking a bit bunkery as it rises, don't you think?

Well yes, I suppose it would be tidier if we turned an entire area over to one corporation with a mandate to "go do stuff with it." But would you want to live in a neighbourhood like that? UPDATE: We did, and I don't.

Ha. Well, there you go. Maybe they should have a selection of different retro film covers that you could apply to your appliances to match the decade of your choice?

Same for me - nothing. But I'm intrigued! Can we re-post the image?

Thanks for posting. But where did you copy this from?

That Evergreen Glass website is all kinds of funny.

Those ovens - apparently the same colour as the rooftop elements - are not going to age well.

Oh yes! These underreported risks. Also, there will be people there. I mean people's heads don't explode very often, but it has happened. In fact, I feel a spell coming on right now. Best to stay clear!

I look forward to living in a city (or country, or even web forum) with enough self-confidence that, when somebody makes a faintly silly statement, heads don't start exploding left, right and centre.

QUiCK, GET HIM!

Not sure how well "organic development" has worked out for the 905 so far...

Wow. That parking garage looks like an exile from some sodden New Town in the UK. Slightly unfortunate, by the looks of things.

I just noticed the "Urban Resort" on top of the 15th floor. Urban Resort? Isn't that at least slightly hilarious? I believe we used to call that "a pool." In fairness, I've spent some time at the "urban resort" atop Tridel's Verve, and it's lovely. Really, really nice, and a huge boon in...

Thanks fanoftoronto and ethervizion! Those are fantastic. I'm amazed to see that parking booth still there. Evidently they have plans for it beyond smashing it and throwing it in the back of a dump truck. I wonder what its destination is?

Hint! When I see that there's activity on the thread, I assume that somebody's posted an update or a new picture, so I happily go to check it. Discovering that it's just somebody asking for updates or new pictures, said happiness turns to irritation. I think it's fair to assume that when people...
