I think it’s awesome that a French automaker is moving its HQ to downtown Toronto . . . but do they even sell any cars here?

That makes four houses moved in and around a single intersection within a decade. Remarkable.

Here's some more baseless speculation: Under Mizrahi's financing agreement, a funding tranche is contingent on a key milestone -- installation of the first glass.

Wow. That thing really ballooned -- and not long after its original construction, from the look of it. Obviously a huge appetite for Christianity and temperance back then.

I like the courthouse, but this one always hurts.

By the way, Frogley's Bakery was where one George Weston did his apprenticeship. By coincidence, his grandson Galen died yesterday.

From the east.

The disconnect between the claim and reality is jarring. Everyone knows that Yorkdale is the best mall in Canada. This lawsuit is a desperation move if ever I saw one.

How strange to see alterations to an older building that actually wind up looking good.

That means it’s 1975 again. Pomo is just around the corner.

The Tribunal rejected the resident associations’ attempt to cast the three mid-century bungalows as “ugly ducklings” that were actually swans: “On the Tribunal’s perception of the evidence, the existing structures have characteristics of middling interest for which there are limited grounds of...
