I hope this doesn't mean the demise of McVeigh's! It's such a lovely, authentic Irish pub. They have great live music.

Really? 🧐 Seems a but of a stretch to compare to me lol. (from google images)

I thought of Jersey City immediately too when I saw it!

Guess we'll have to wait and see :)

Simons has been looking to open a downtown Toronto store since at least 2015 with original plans for the Eaton Centre being stalled. I wouldn't be surprised if something had indeed changed here to give them a downtown footprint. Especially considering their branding on the sign board that shows...

I wonder if it'll get chrome leaves in the spring/summer 😅

If I remember correctly, there is a second Sweat & Tonic location going here so I will have an excuse to check things out, even if the original location is much closer to my place 😅

Indeed. The East side of Jarvis between Richmond and Queen has a gas station, Indonesian consulate, low cost hotel and a shelter. All of which don't really have the funds (nor prerogative) to work on improving the ground-level pedestrian experience. The parking lot above on the west side of the...

Haven't seen anyone post this yet. No major update, but BlogTO posting about the desire to have a potential 10,000 ft restaurant tenant here at grade. Floor plans and renders of what a restaurant "could look like" included in the article...

Interesting. You asked in your original post “how do we start solving it” to which the poster responded with their thoughts. I personally thought they were well-reasoned. Your response sounds a bit thorny though, like you weren’t actually willing to hear what others had to say on the topic.

Could be the fact that the real estate situation in Canada is currently collapsing in on itself due to escalating interest rates and an impending recession 😅

*googles population of Bangkok* Ah yes, 8.93MM VS the 2.93MM we have for the city of Toronto. I’m not sure we have the demand for so many large scale shopping centres downtown tbh.

Methinks a fox

Isn’t Prince St an NYC based restaurant? I’m certain I’ve had it there. I’m pretty sure it’s not affiliated with O&B, they only have that one location otherwise.

This comes unnecessarily rude.

Less about mural longevity and more about the maintenance and upkeep of the space IMO. I feel like some developers who plan these buildings are completely disconnected from the actual socio-economic reality of the neighbourhoods they are building in. I love the concept of the art wall but I have...

Good point. Instead of benches and art that everyone can enjoy, we should probably build something like this on the chance that someone we don't like sits too close How very performative of you

I’m curious about how the Art walls would hold up with a fairly prominent homeless and substance addicted population that would more than likely take up residence in that alley. The height is absolutely massive for the area IMO. It sticks out like a sore thumb in that render. I generally favour...

Or not. Big fan of the airport, personally.

I don't think Stockholm syndrome means what you think it means. Unless of course there are members here posting from behind the locked closet of a rogue Madison Group employee 😂.
