Roy G Biv you are absolutely right. The concept of Statlers is something I crave in the Village and they had some great entertainers there over the years. But the drama of watching people fight for tables and space to stand as well as the struggle to get a drink made it horribly uncomfortable...

Have the glass balcony panels been a problem at Casa anyone? Crews today have been going around tightening bolts on the outside of balcony's . A panel on the south side is replaced with plywood now and one on the east side is replaced with wire mesh, it appears. Did they fall or is this just...

Here are a few pics of the plaza demolished. The security guard at the building just south of here told my friend, who lives there, that the Shoppers Drug Mart will be used for the sales centre. Good idea.

Yeaaaa. Finally this corner is getting attention. I thought they might leave this bit to the bitter end.(Well, they kinda did.) It's been quite difficult to pass by here during pedestrian rush hours on weekdays.

Not that it implies anything concrete but there has been in the past weeks some demolition going on to get rid of the old Shoppers Drug Mart and the rest of the plaza. About 5 or 6 month ago the plaza was on fire but it was just for filming.

Thanks for the info androiduk. They certainly need more ways to load the place with groceries. Alas no Blades of Glory at this location this season.

Rather than a new loading door on Wood Street it appears they are fixing the crack the runs almost the full height of the building at this point. The crack has been there for years and there is a similar one near the east corner on Wood. The silver rectangle near the top of the crack appears to...

I hope these bike racks go really deep into the ground or physics will not work in their favor. Having walked this stretch dozens of times in the past few months I don't recall seeing any protrusions that these were then later attached to.

I spent 5 years toiling away in the Pizza Pizza order processing dept. in the very room that is open to the sky now. It's pure pleasure to see it destroyed. Thank you X2. (their pizza really isn't very good)

Is there some kind of sky lobby or atrium at the top of the RBC building or what is that empty space we are seeing through? It doesn't look like it's just empty offices.

Thanks for the info spaced.

Just yesterday I saw that Holt Renfrew has lowered their blinds and put 4 or 5 thought bubble stickers on the windows. They all say "YOU BETTER WORK" so if the worker outside stands in just the right spot he is turned in to RuPaul suddenly. Very clever and humorous.

This past weekends Toronto Outdoor Art Show was once again an amazing feast for the eyes. But there were fewer booths it seemed due to some of the demolition. This work won't be complete in a year from now so where will the art show Go ??? Dundas Square isn't big enough. Anybody know the answer?

Yes, I did see that Woody''s always seemed to have a large line up. I'm sure that's not a holdover effect from tourists wanting to see where Queer as Folk was filmed. But your right about the parties. I forgot that not only were there the Prism parties but we tend to get competing parties lately...

It was a great feeling for sure, in part due to the events of the previous weekend. It felt like the police were glad for the break. But the numbers seemed down. On Sat. night at 11:30 the Wood St. beer garden and stage was 75% empty, partly I'm sure because Cyndi Lauper was in Queen's Park...

Perhaps Pizzaiolo is going to serve the booze that makes us crave the pizza. Good business sense. Woody's should have put a pizza joint in the Priape space 2 years ago when they left.

Love the photography but not some of the views. I once stayed at a Days Inn in Chicago and my room faced an inner courtyard which was simply the roof of the 1st floor with all it's noisy ugly mechanical units. I can't imagine paying for that view permanently. Plus 145 units on 3 floors--I...

Hey guys, Just thought I'd share a picture of my view of the Church/ Wellesley neighborhood. If you look really closely you can see the south tower of Palace Pier and a bit of the north tower between the condo on bay with the pink glass and the converted apt. building on Gloucester. Enjoy.

Looking at the pic again it seems to be at 1 Bloor. But at some points Casa was behind it so it must have been pics for Chaz.

They had a little blimp taking pictures of the views buyers will get from Chaz. This was Tuesday morning. It said Blimp Pics on the side of it. It didn't look to the west very often. The pic is from mid level. It went much higher also.
