I'm not an supporter of either to tell you the truth, but if you've been in either store there is a difference. Since I find myself at Gerrard Square quite often (god help me please) I'd rather a Target over a Wal-mart... that is if the option of blowing the mall up and starting over is off the...

Found out something interesting... Apparently Wal-mart is taking over the lease of Zellers at Gerrard Square.... Looks like they are getting into the area after all. I was hoping it would become Target.

Young st? really Young st? As much as I agree with you that University could use a more consistent streetwall, I think 200m for it's entirety would be a step in the wrong direction. None of the streets you listed have that kind of a streetwall for for more than a km, let alone for their...

I know this thread has been dead for a looooong time, but I found these on the net and wanted to share.... I'm sure some will appreciate them, I'm sure some will just continue to spew hatred.... anyway enjoy.... ** all...

wow! where to begin.... how about this.... name me one suburb that has a large stock of victorian architecture, an I don't mean a little main st strip with a collection of 10-15 houses. And where oh where is there any Victorian with a 1000sf backyard? I want to see this. your not going to win...

Not meaning to sound totally rude, but do you actually use the term "greektown" often? The greeks don't even call it that, it's "the Danforth" plain & simple.

Having lived in the area my entire life, my father actually used to run a youth theatre group out of the space beside 345 carlaw in the 80's. I'm surprised nobody has asked what was there before the townhomes on Filmic where built. How did the people on Pape react when these ugly townhouses were...

I think that is the common misconception, when my wife and I had purchased our last house in Leslieville, the price tag almost made us choke. After we sat down and calculated it out, with the savings in mortgage, but the extra cost of having two cars, two insurance policies, the extra gas to and...

true, but realistically they were nothing more than country concessions expect for a few km's that travel through a sleepy town. Also I don't think that we could argue that the possiblity of streetcars being implemented wasn't on the drawing table in the 1830's -50's And until the advent of...

Uuummmm, nope sorry. electric Streetcars were invented in the 1880's, but horse drawn streetcars were around for a long time before that. even though we didn't have them in Toronto until 1862, Toronto was a sleepy little town prior to that. So in short, yeas a hand full of streets around the St...

maybe you should go back and re-read what I've said. Never did nor would I imply, that a person should make whatever amount based on the amount of children he/she has. Nor did I say that owning a home is anyone's given right. The TTC offers positions for people to be able to make a living wage...

first things first I don't have a union job, as I would never work for a union. You can try and punish people all you want for having kids but if we don't encourage people to have kids, we will end up with a stagnant population and suffer the consequences in future generations. Immigration can...

I made $42,000 in my first position at age 20, that was in 1997, and no I don't have a white collar job.

well good for you!! I'm glad your content with your lot in life but don't blame others for making more than you. do you have 4 kids and a wife to support? are they in university? and don't throw the old argument that... "well they should have thought about that before they had kids" and no...

exactly a crappy job nobody thanks you for, that everyone take for granted and dishes you shit ever single day... that why I also think garbage collectors should make a very good wage, you couldn't pay me enough to do that job. Now if we were talking about a job with big perks then I would agree...

you really think $40,000 is generous? I'd hate to know what you do for a living I made more than that fresh out of school and I am by no means rich or a part of the "higher class"

ok how about 400x the average salary? 300x? 200x? where does it get less obscene? One thing nobody is taking into consideration is how long has he worked for the TTC? if he started about 10 years ago, getting a 1.5 - 2% increase every year, bringing his salary upto where it is now, how is that...

whether he lives in Toronto or Mississauga is arbitrary, as is whether his job should exist in the first place. The idea that he is somehow beneath everyone else and should make shit money is ludicrous. What is a "decent" wage? if you think his wage is unsustainable, then almost everyone is...

say his salary is $65,000 minus taxes and deductions that is paycheque of about $1700 every two weeks, about $3400 a month and you all think that is grossly inflated? To live in this city with 4 kids? what world are you guys living in? That is not a huge salary by any stretch, that is barely...

Of course we'd need 4-5 buses to make up the capacity of each streetcar... wouldn't that be a nice seen, instead of 4 streetcars, we get 20-25 buses.... sounds like a top-tier city to me.
