    Toronto Toronto | 1500 Bayview | 32.09m | 8s | Medallion | BDP Quadrangle

    I was in lockdown so long I only recently realized traffic lights were installed at this intersection earlier this year. An improvement in my eyes, especially for the Bayview bus routes trying to turn North from Davisville.

    Farm Boy expansion in the GTA

    Not to take away from your point but those tortilla chips are good! Los Cantores is my favourite tortilla chip and they also make the Farm Boy label...and sell for a buck or two less than Los Cantores. https://mexicancornproducts.com/...

    Toronto Toronto | One Front | 170.86m | 49s | Larco | a—A

    I think it will be longer than a year. The plan is to move many 1 Front employees to the Arthur Meighan Building at Yonge & St. Clair when it is ready in 2022. I work at 1 Front and my area is not moving to St. Clair but a purpose built building. If I recall correctly we have an additional year...

    Some random thoughts: As far as I know Farm Boy still sells only food...if I lived on Harbourfront I would welcome Farm Boy but might be slightly annoyed I could not grab things like paper towel/dish soap/toothpaste at the same time if I needed.
