What's odd is that they're a commercial real estate company owned by teachers. I can understand why a bank or telecom would want to advertise heavily to attract consumers, but why does CF feel the need to invest so much in this type of advertising? Do they actually think that shoppers care about...

Almost missed this one - thanks!

And also Purdy's!

Interesting. When they had built the temporary daycare area, it was the saddest thing - kids playing in a cage, surrounding by the mess and noise of an active construction site.

Not sure what they're doing exactly. The floor plan for the post-renovation mall isn't totally clear on what will be built there, if anything. It's still more or less the same surface as when they tore down the cinema.

I hope the quality of construction in the tower itself will be better than that in the sidewalk scaffolding.

I can see the light strip (and flashing light) clearly all the way from North York, which is quite impressive. I would take a photo but I don't have a proper camera for it.

Honestly, I'm just too lazy to go the extra stop north on the subway and back. I love Loblaws and I actually used to work at that location when I was a student.

I live on the Yonge "strip" and don't own a car but rather use a car sharing service for the odd time that I do need to drive somewhere off the TTC grid. I walk and take the subway everywhere. The key is to buy groceries like produce downtown on the way home from work, and then buy the everyday...

The "ethnic" angle is tiring, outdated, and isn't particularly convincing. People can eat wherever they choose to eat and their ethnic background should not determine where they are expected to eat. Statements such as "Would any self-respecting Mexican person be eating at Chipotle Mexican...

Very nice, but I believe the WTC total height is 1,776 feet vs. the CN Tower's ~1,815.
