    Toronto Toronto | Mirvish Village (Honest Ed's Redevelopment) | 85.04m | 26s | Westbank | Henriquez Partners

    Nice to see that Markham is getting closer to reopening! Seeing it brings back memories in a weird, unexpected way - there's some areas of the city that are so tied to a part of one's life that seeing them after a long time feels sad. The magic that used to animate those spaces is gone...

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Wow, Patrick Brown is really sucking up to Ford! I'm guessing Brown hopes that Dougie just forgets all the ways he hates Brown: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/doug-ford-brown-allegations-1.4907330 "That's disgusting, that is absolutely disgusting that you would side with someone like...

    Has anyone been to the Island this year? What is the erosion at Hanlan’s like?

    Toronto Toronto | Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Alex B. does good work, but he has a bit of "columnist-itis" - when you have to crank out articles on a particular subject regularly, and you have to justify your paycheck, you tend to take extreme positions. I think Northern Light has pointed out a fairly strong weakness in his most recent...

    Toronto Toronto | Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    A section of this forum thinks that City Place is a collection of some of the mediocre/anti-urbanist buildings in the City, and that Concord cheaps out on cladding. Concord was responsible for the City Place master plan. Personally, I think a lot of the complaints about City Place are...

    According to the Weather Channel, we haven't had "normal" spring rains - it's been very wet. 7th rainiest on record!

    Cool shots as always, @hawc Is there some light flooding going on to the east of where the river meets Villiers? The river level seems high. (I guess normal for this time of year even though I imagine there's not a ton of snow melt.)

    What I don't understand is $5000 a month for two bedrooms. Who is paying that? If you can afford $5000 a month, why aren't you buying a place?

    Land Acknowledgements and Reconciling Our Settler History

    Reading these responses, I can tell that issues about Indigenous people and race brings up a lot of fear and anxiety for people! It seems like people want simple answers like "the past is past" or "everyone was discriminated against in the past" so that they don't have to feel personally...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Folks, why does this have to re-explained? The reason they don't want duplicate names of stations is for emergency services. In an emergency, you want to make sure that emergency services arrive at the right place, and any sort of duplication could cause needless deaths...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    A half kilometer walk is not very convenient. TBH, the whole continued existence of Woodbine racetrack is so mind-boggling to me. People drive to a place to watch horses run in circles and bet on it? This is fun? I don't want to yuck anyone's yum - it's just very strange for me.

    Those panels have been up for months. They were test panels.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    The Rexdale stop seems to be the major difference. I think most councillors, dealing with 900 things that day, couldn’t see what the difference was, so opted for the original recommendation. But also, this is just a recommendation from the City of Toronto’s Executive Committee, and literally...

    That "Life is Beautiful" sign - oooof. That is CRINGE. The sign isn't even beautiful!
