Yes, it was on my list for this year, alas I've run out of time. I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed they'll at least do Doors Open every year.

Yes, that's my recollection as well. Thank you too for your photos of the models along the line from Doors Open today. Really neat!

I understand.

Who do we need to write/nag/badger to get this SOP re-written? Can we sic all of UT on them?

Perhaps not a "cozy" cafe in the traditional sense, but if you like flowers & sitting outside, this is the only garden cafe I know of in TO: Queen Garden Cafe

Just a few:

I was looking forward to going to that museum so I do hope they re-open it!

Thank you!

What are their options for shifting more towards water transport?

Draper Street as a bar street would look closer to Crescent Street in Montreal than Golden Gai in Shinjuku (also good though). To get the latter, we'd need to convince a neighbourhood to convert their back laneway or get a new development to purpose build one. Or maybe we could convince some of...

Solution - just stay up all night!

Woohoo! Glad I understood your definition well enough. 😊

Thanks. I figured there had to be a specific reason for it at least at one point.

Do we know what this pokey outley bit is for? I assume that's the amenity level, but design-wise - just because?

I feel like I should be happy as this probably counts as "missing middle", but 4 units with a parking lot doesn't seem like it's housing more people than an old house that was carved up into apartments could. Indeed, it seems like it actually has less greenery/yard.

rdaner just posted a "walk video" over on the Ossington street thread that reminded me the Jimmy's on that strip is fairly cozy. I don't think the fireplace works anymore, but it does have a tin ceiling & other old-fashioned bits as well as tasty food and local art.

Well, when I become Dictator of Canada, I will appoint you Minister of Toronto Beautification! 😂

Nice! Will they add more granite if they widen the sidewalks too? Perhaps I accidentally found them a cheaper solution 😂 I do like the round illuminated planters that are already there. I hope we get more as they expand along the areas you mentioned.

Thanks! To clarify, I didn't mean the corded light part as that was seasonal anyway. I chose to start with Bloor because it's pretty nice already, so just needs some small tweaks. Didn't realize the sidewalks here are granite though! 😮 Yeah, no need to change that.
