fiendishlibrarian you inspired me - this is the only way to get rid of this problem, but more people must follow your fine example.

yeah it's quite big: 1550 sq ft - that explains it. those were the good old days eh, when they built condos a decent size.

travelodge sign already knocked out

is this normal for Toronto condos? close to $1200 a month for a condo being offered for $325,000? http://www.realtor.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?propertyId=8807053 will this happen with all Toronto downtown condos? out of control fees? it appears to me by the sheer number of condos listed in...

I've read the whole thread, and I must say, I'm shocked, this place sounds like a living hell, an absolute dump. Graffiti in the elevators? people blocking the proper positive air pressure from coming under their doors? What kind of life is that?

Development proposal sign (which was filled with graffiti) on the property where the houses were supposed to have been torn town was finally taken down this past week.

the smell is a real issue - the three times I looked at properties there I had one or more of the following smells: 1) the slaughterhouse (if the wind is blowing west) - hard to describe this smell - you'll know it when you smell it 2) the CNE/police stables horse manure (if the wind is...

crane was taken down last weekend (full street closure over the weekend) - sorry, no pics.

this was all over the news this morning (CityTV) - there was a 3 day line-up, a 10 day lineup, and a lineup that started last night. The ones that got honoured were the lineup that started last night. They just handed out the numbers. The 10 day lineup is across the street is protesting with...

There's only one way to solve these types of problems - call the police every single day the problem occurs. Every day. Don't bother with telling the building or board. Call the police, they are obligated to come and knock on these people's doors and charge them. It will get very expensive...

There seems to be one house in this huge block of abandoned houses on Berwick that is currently occupied (with a car in the parking space) - is he the caretaker/guard of the whole block, perhaps? All the rest have "no flyers" signs, and fences blocking access to the backyards. Anyone hear...

Did anyone get a close-up photo of the old sign on the SkyWalk just to the left of the underpass entrance that had advertisements for many of the old restaurants that occupied the Skywalk? They just took it down a few weeks ago. I was gonna take a pic but when I went there it was already down.
