Ruru is permanently closed (formerly the Mutual Street Deli) and 152 Dundas St. E is up for sale.

The bike lanes along Shuter are being upgraded with cycle tracks proposed between Bond and River Streets. This will result in a decrease in parking spots, but more robust cycling infrastructure. There's a public drop-in event planned for Tuesday, Jan 21st between 6 and 8 pm at the Regent Park...

Can someone explain how the Sky Lobby will work exactly? What is the point of having such a huge lobby above the first 3 floors of units in the podium? Is it meant to be more of an event space rather than concierge/waiting space? Another question my partner and I have had for awhile: what's...

Early AM

Indeed it is, and we'll definitely be moving out of the area in the next few years. The noise and lack of light didn't bother me so much in my 20s and 30s, but now I'm middle-aged and I like my plants and a bit more serenity than what the corner of Dundas and Jarvis streets have to offer! I do...

Oh man, there goes all my natural light. RIP my plants and any sense of health or well-being in the wintertime. The application checklist has the Sun/Shadow Study checked off, but I can't find it in the supporting documentation. Does anyone know if it ever gets grouped with other docs? I...

The playground is open! Kids seem to really dig it, especially the spinner/roundabout. I wish I was a kid and could give the asparagus climber a go. The park is still pretty dark at night though with minimal lighting actually turned on.

Greek restaurant Ruru has recently opened in the former Mutual Street Deli space. They're currently only open for lunch and apparently is owned/run by the family who owned Mutual St. Deli prior to 2011. HOEM on Jarvis, the new Ryerson residence, has opened. The ground floor is still under...

Good Earth has reopened with new owners. Apparently the previous owner's food was not up to company standards (second hand info, not entirely sure what that means). Pop Coffee has great coffee and does really good pour overs, hope they can stick it out. I imagine they'll get some more business...

The play structures in the Grange Park, and this one in St. James, are both by Earthscape. They build really fun and interesting playgrounds.

Pop Coffee Works has opened up on the ground floor of 190 Jarvis St (just south of Dundas). It's hard to tell what their opening hours are though: so far they don't seem to open during the evenings or on Sundays.

The neighbourhood around Dundas and Jarvis will be unrecognizable in a couple of years. Pace is complete, Grid is almost topped-out, Dundas Square Gardens is coming along nicely and the new Ryerson Residence is nearly complete too. Add to that the Max and Ivy condos just south on Mutual, in.De...

Phone-quality pics from this morning. Looks a bit different from the render.

It appears that Mounties has re-opened, possibly with equipment etc. from Mutual Street Deli (I saw them bringing things over back in January). Although their sign says open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, they were regrettably closed for Valentine's Day.

Mutual Street Deli has closed, gone to the big greasy spoon in the sky.

LCBO going in the Duke condos! Sign just went up! Huzzah!!

I still think this condo looks like a hospital, but I'm really looking forward to having more grocery options and a coffee shop in the neighbourhood.
