The last time I lived in a condo, as a renter (renting from the unit owner), the building had a common laundry room in the basement, and the units all had cupboards for apartment-size washers and dryers (with the requisite water and electrical connections, plus drain). Most residents had...

As I've said before, it's a shame.

I don't mind the Toronto log, and I am perhaps less fond of the Metro Toronto logo than you. But it is a pretty decent logo. What I really hate is the East York logo - it looks like a high school art project. And because that was the logo in place at the time of amalgamation, it will never be...

I think Lone Star is the type of place people eat at because it's there. It's not the type of place one seeks out.

Because that system worked so well.

Maybe this will prompt them to start online shopping in Canada. Canadians can order from Muji's US online shop, but with a US$35 shipping fee regardless of the value of one's order.

Probably has as much to do with the GFA that was available in the Atrium when they wanted to expand a successful store, than anything else.

So many great Canadian products. The few that come to mind at the moment: Soak - laundry products for washing sweaters and the like - nice smelling, and very effective at getting out the occasional stains (for me, mostly small spills of coffee down the front of the sweater). Made in the GTA...

As noted above in this thread, the University of Ottawa is a bilingual institution with francophone roots, with extensive French-language programs and which is quite successful at maintaining a French-language environment for its francophone students. It's unclear how a duplicative effort would...

I believe that's for East Harbour, not West Don Lands. WDL is not located within the special policy area, and has an existing flood protection regime.

This development may be more imminent than I expected. Yesterday I noticed that the Beer Store on the site has closed.

I noticed the fitness club going into the old Canadian Tire Express space on the weekend. Are fitness club boutiques the next wave hitting the Danforth? (remember the frozen yogurt wave a few years back?) Better than nail salons. ETA: Sorry Village Pie disappeared, and got replaced by...

In response to your first two questions, the thread for that building is here: Atrium on Bay ETA: As for your last comment, sure - that would be nice. But there are limits on what can be done with the existing connection (given most of it is located in a subway station). Any new connection...

That was my point. How possibly is it a testament to our city's planning?

I don't think the fact that East Bayfront is not yet fully built out is a testament to bad planning. Any time we see a vacant lot, with or without parking, is it reasonable to assume that the Planning department determined that was the best use of the site, or to blame Planning because it...

Yeah, a lot of people said the same thing when the Corel Centre in Ottawa became Scotiabank Place. Also some people online were inexplicably pushing "the Bank". Until recently some people were still trying to make "The Hangar" happen for the ACC, with pretty low levels of success. Is "the...

???? What thread have you been reading?

I hope not. While John Nunziata did lose to Di Giorgio by a nose in 2014, that was actually a fairly tight four person race. Hard to believe that I am actually happy Di Giorgio beat Nunziata in that one. There are not a lot of candidates less suited than Di Giorgio to be a City Councillor...

Isn't there already a general thread for East Bayfront? Why do we need a separate thread for one question?

Then the City should cancel whatever patio license might still be in place for the property and make them remove whatever portion of that stupid white picket fence is located within the boulevard.
