The mid-block passageway between King and Front streets that will be accessible to the public is visible from Front Street close to the CIBC branch now that the scaffolding is down.

These are not uncommon problems, even years after turnover from the builder to the condo corp takes place. Dealing with deficiencies takes more than just competent management -- progress really depends on how cooperative a developer is in addressing performance audit issues (of which there are...

The surface parking sucks, but these buildings are home to some very interesting media businesses, including a 3D animation studio, award-winning music production, a movie studio, an advertising firm, and a software company. There's also a fairly under-the-radar Neapolitan pizza place on...

Okay, the fake dry cleaner signs are down and today I saw pictures in the window for a Caribbean place -- I think it's a new location for this: www.caribbeantaste.ca

I hope so. I didn't realize they were filming!

The former Coffee Time at Esplanade & Princess is becoming a dry cleaner. :/

Re: Mill Street utility work, this feels like the third time in the past year that the street has been torn up in nearly the same spot with the exact same vehicles and fencing on site. One of those times was due to a condo generator failure, but still.

Here's a new Star article about the community centre with some images: https://www.thestar.com/news/city_hall/2016/09/16/new-moss-park-community-centre-would-be-transformative-designers-say.html

Yeah, I guess the orange terra cotta is partly meant to create the impression of smaller lot sizes, which reflects the fine grain nature of the greater neighbourhood's streetscape, which is clearly demonstrated in AOD's map of the DRL area above. Nice effort to break up the hulking mass, but...

Souk/Tabulé was packed today, so I'd say the density is there. The only other place to eat of this quality nearby is Impact Kitchen; they've got a good thing going. Incidentally, there have been enough people generally out and about the neighbourhood for the past month or so that I think it's...

One of the original Boxcar guys has opened Arvo Coffee in the Distillery, and it's really good. Also, Fahrenheit's 2nd location will be at 533 Richmond St W. (corner of Portland St). A new chain is born.

The new Arvo Coffee shop on Gristmill Lane opened last week and it's really good.

It's always felt like a topographic disaster down there and these changes haven't done anything to improve that. I would add the Eaton Centre reno to that list.

Arvo Coffee has opened in the Distillery at 17 Gristmill Lane.

Brook McIlroy's firm pitched this scheme for decking over the eastern Gardiner Expressway, adjacent to the rail corridor, which seemed like a best-case scenario for one of the City's worst decisions (rebuilding the east Gardiner)...

FUEL+ was present at the Cooper Koo Family YMCA open house with snacks a few months ago.

I'm pretty sure I saw frogs in the ponds last year. Would be nice if they could support turtles, like the Brickworks.

Do those small patches of green roof constitute the absolute bare minimum coverage for compliance with the bylaw requiring them?

I wonder if Allied and Diamond are flipping this property to the city? http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/park-richmond-spadina-1.3634076
