    NXT & NXT2 Condos (Cresford Developments) - Real Estate -

    fmcristiano, I'm afraid that the real nightmare for you (and other new owners) begins now. You will be waiting months and months and months and will be told BS stories over and over and over again. They will never call you when they say they will. They will never follow up on problems...

    Toronto Toronto | James Cooper Mansion | ?m | 32s | Tridel | Burka

    Bit of an oddity, this one. I can't quite peg what the colour of the glass and cladding is. Is it black? Is it dark grey? Is it dark green? Walking by in-person I'm always left feeling puzzled by this addition to Sherbourne. I don't hate it by any means but I was always under the...

    Horrible food on lakeshore and island

    On Queen's Quay at the foot of York Street (next to the Second Cup) you'll find water taxis. The guys running the show there can be a little gruff, but if you can cope with their barking of orders to the tourists then you'll do just fine.

    Horrible food on lakeshore and island

    I ate at the Rectory Cafe this past Sunday. Fantastic service, very good food and relaxing outdoor patio/surroundings. I think it's really the only option when you're on the islands. All of the regular pizza and ice cream vendors have hiked their prices up to criminal levels so you mind as...

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle Centre Condos | 161.84m | 55s | Pinnacle | P + S / IBI

    A while back I checked out the Palatial residences. Was very impressed. Excellent finishes and workmanship. I can't speak for the other suites but I hope that bodes well for their next project.

    This is hysterical! Thank you for that. I had forgotten how bang-on South Park can be. You can also watch it at thecomedynetwork.ca (search "South Park motorcycles")

    Idiotic Motorcyclists

    Yes Doug, you're right I did defend Cresford once... but I have since recanted many times. I was a fool for ever defending them. Sorry if you think forming my opinions based on my experiences and what I witness is childish.

    Idiotic Motorcyclists

    I used to take offence to all careless cyclists being lumped together too... but hey, guess what: the majority of cyclists ARE breaking the law and reckless and careless. Do you know how I know this? Because I cycle all over the city 14 hours a week and see it with my own eyes time after time...

    Idiotic Motorcyclists

    Way to go David Sheppard! And yet another example. At least this time we have a name: David Sheppard, 35, of Bowmanville, Ontario seems to have zero regard for the lives of others. A perfect example of TrickyRicky's post above. ----------------- Motorcyclist clocked at 50 kilometres over...

    Idiotic Motorcyclists

    The cops don't even enforce the no-handheld cellphone laws anymore so why bother with motorcyclists who disturb every single person within two blocks.

    Idiotic Motorcyclists

    Unfortunately my daily commute currently means I spend way too much time on the Don Valley Parkway and the 401. Without fail, every day, I witness some of the most stupid, dangerous and reckless actions by almost every motorcyclist I see. Blaring in and around vehicles, doing clearly...

    Parking Enforcement Officers Parking Illegally?

    He or she should be on a bicycle. There's no excuse for them to even be in a car trolling around neighbourhoods making it even more of a pain for people to do business in this city. Get on a bike and set an example!

    G-20 Summit in Toronto

    Anyone know if police have caught any of these losers who were captured on CTV News changing their clothes? I've sent them to police twice but have never received a reply.

    Toronto Toronto | CrystalBlu Condos | ?m | 36s | Bazis | Burka

    I recently got into some of the unfinished units midway up the tower. One cool thing: some of the kitchen backsplashes are actually windows. (The two thin horizontal panes of window that you see running up the tower act as backsplashes on the inside.) One crappy thing: The views are...

    Bloor Street Market (formerly Manulife ValuMart)

    Very disappointed after such a long wait. It's still the same lousy layout and the prices are so high they are clearly gouging. I keep stopping by to see there are any improvements but always end up finding fresher and lower priced vegetables at Longos.

    Casa Condos (Cresford Developments) - Real Estate -

    You might change your mind if you walked through the penthouses in person. They're pretty spectacular and definitely one-of-a-kind. The views are priceless. The only real drawback is that they do not have their own private elevator. The owners will have to slum with the rest of us commoners in...
