I wonder if they would even bother to put windows in on the sides of the building that is mere meters away from the other, knowing that they are being built at the same time? Would it be better to just use concrete?

I wonder how many times this guy has spotted Elvis walking about?

Wow I sure hope that your fiancée is ok with this idea. You might also want to get your standard parks and trees and flowers background in there too. Congratulations on the upcoming wedding!

Nice photos and a pretty good mix. There is though, I feel, too much emphasis of the inclusion of fancy cars.

I believe that once the condo construction nears completion it will be rebuilt in its original location, adjacent to the Shangri La. Some details from an older link here: http://spacingtoronto.ca/2008/02/12/razing-bishops-block-to-save-it/

I suppose Zeeden bought a unit with a great eastern view?

This takes the use of lines and angles to a whole new level. They might want to rename this project "Vertigo City". It's clearly trying to go outside the box but I think this is too much.

Thanks to you all. It makes sense when presented to me in this way. I believe that the civic dynamic truly is more bread and butter and lends itself to more people-centric value system which is less driven by money and more by qualities of life. True, left and right labels are often unfair...

Leftist Toronto I've always been perplexed at the left-leaning councils and mayors that we seem to elect. Certainly they at times have some good ideas but I would expect that a city that is such an important corporate and industrial centre would have fostered a more centrist or slightly...

Charlie excavation work Current photos as of lunchtime May 14th.

I'm wondering what the plan is for the electrical substation at Wellington and John St. Is this affected by this development?

Accident waiting to happen It looks like it is taking a while for the GO commuters heading west along Station Street to adjust to the Simcoe Street traffic, infrequent as it is. I've seen a few close calls already as people blindly cross Simcoe instead of heading up to the lights at Front. I...

Beautiful shot!

Ask a general question and you get a general answer. The lady wasn't asking for an essay sir.

Life in Richmond Hill Supergirly. Richmond Hill covers a rather large area and many parts of it are quite different. If you are closer to Yonge and Major Mac then you are in the old part that is a bit more congested but closer to better transit, movies, theatre, the main library etc. As you...

Bedrock Yep, Manhattan is mostly bedrock. I wonder how easy it is to dig down through that stuff? Here's a wee bit on the geology of the island. http://3dparks.wr.usgs.gov/nyc/highlands/manhattan.htm

Pics Damn. I just love what you do with the art of photography. Thanks for all of your contributions!

TTC Emergency speaker system Seems as if then never cared about resonance within the various stations during normal operation times. They probably tested the speakers overnight or in their offices before installation. It's been like this since I can recall way into the early 70's. I could...

2012 ? Well, safe to say, in this short attention span universe we now all live it she'll be way off the radar and yesterday's news by year's end; remembered as but a footnote and answer to a trivia question well before 2012. Her days in the continental US are done and dusted.
