They were the culprit. I came across them in the act of spraying, and they proudly posed for multiple pictures next to their work when I challenged them. I doubt that they pay tax and my guess is that they may sleep on it tonight, literally. As a local resident, I am sooo tired of this crap.

And just when you thought that the new landscaping and surfaces on Wellington St. were too good to be true, the smell of spray paint comes wafting over the sidewalk. When you admire the green graffiti all over the sidewalk near the corner of Wellington and Spadina, you have this individual to...

Shame about the four yellow posts in the pedestrian way protecting a metal grating. Obstacles like this are a threat to those with low vision, and it is only a matter of time before some real estate agent parks their board(s) in the protected space. Anyone know why we need four waist-high...

This is not a view that any human will ever see. AmJ

I know everyone else loves this design, but I just can’t like how the building meets the sidewalk. I do not claim any professional architectural knowledge, but it does seem to me that a distinguishing feature of buildings along Spadina are squared off masonry buildings with windows pierced into...

This morning (2023-09-09)

That outdoor skating rink in Dufferin Grove is very heavily used in the winter after school - I'm sure that you will have your share of going over and hauling kid home for dinner :-) Skate swaps, skating lessons, and fairly chilled rec league hockey available at McCormick Arena...

It's being cleaned atm, and the southern section will be restored as a façade on the OL station. I don't think that I have see a commitment either way for the northern end which will under the new development. My guess is that it will be retained, in part of pacify the plebs who will be upset...

If the fountain was full of running water, it would be much harder to graffiti. If it looked maintained, I don't think that it would be a target for vandalism and probably wouldn't need security. Just saying...

According to Metrolinx: Preparation for demoing at Queen-Spadina is in full swing. Currently all utilities and services are being removed from all buildings. There also seems to be some work on the windows of 378 Queen W. (NE side of Q-S junction). Demolition on the SW corner will begin as...

- An SPA was submitted on for the site on the SouthWest corner of the Queen/Spadina intersection (443 Queen W) on 27th April and there are similarly no documents for it so I have e-mailed Ms. Opassinis the second. - There has also been a permit(s) pulled (according to the AIC system) but there...

Borehole drilling at Queen-Spadina Crews are planning to conduct bole-hole drilling at three location close to the Queen-Spadina intersection over the coming weeks according to Metrolinx. They will be drilling to the depth of the planned construction of the Ontario Line and Queen-Spadina...

UTS had to pay to replace the windows on the entire Bloor frontage, including the part which will make up this new development, as the façade is heritage listed. It would be cruel and unusual punishment for the UTS community, who had to fundraise to replace UofT windows, to watch those windows...

The population living the Spadina-Fork York area has increased immensely since 2011 - I am not sure of the exact figures but it has doubled(!) in the time between 2015 and 2021, so it is safe to say more than doubled. The population all along the lakeshore as also increased immensely. Much of...

Rhonda’s Folly!

This picture is missing a 15+ storey development on top of every building I suspect.

It would save pedestrian death/injuries to move the streetcar ROW from the centre of the avenue westwards to where the southbound traffic lanes are currently. Even if we couldn’t do it for the length of Spadina, it would really help through Chinatown. It would also help with transfers to the OL...

Apparently they are trying to do geothermal here..

There are two cranes on this site now - the second one went up this morning!

You know, the TTC fundamentally exists as a transit system (the clue is in the name). If security and police discriminate between those who are using the TTC system as a transit system, and those who are behaving in a way that mean that others can't use it as a transit system, I don't think that...
