Hi, pardon my lack of ability to describe specifically what I'm looking for, but are there stores in Toronto that have various Japanese items? I've heard of a shop called Cubeshops... http://www.blogto.com/design/cubeshops ...and I am looking for more places like this. Doesn't...

Very cool!

What is the projected completion for this vs when we really think it will get done? Will I be able to ride my bike down Roncy the coming Spring?

Well got this idea from the other thread, but I was wondering what your ideal lounge chair is, more specifically one that would suit the size of a 600 sq ft condo. I find it's harder to pull off a lounge chair in a small space when everything is competing for real estate. Ideally I would like...

I saw this yesterday...so amazing. As to whether this movie puts Toronto on the map for those outside of Toronto, I choose to look at it from Toronto's perspective itself...I believe this will be a landmark in Toronto culture and taking ourselves seriously which is a great thing. Some cool...

Speaking of cameras on phones, the new Nokia N8 sounds like a monster with 12 megapixels: http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/nokia-n8-pre-orders-go-live-in-the-us-549-for-end-of-septembe/

Thanks for the insight people. I'm looking specifically towards sectionals with a chaise lounge chair built in. What are people's experience with "The Pavilion" store near Queen and Bathurst? I always liked the look of the Delano, but is it comfy? I mean is it ergonomic relative to posture? To...

UrbanD, I take it you're not a fan of the Giraffe project at Dundas/Bloor because of how out of place it would feel relative to what's nearby? I like anomalies here and there. Also if this project was right on Dundas I could see your point, but it's more of a backdrop to me. I was eating at the...

Cheers for the recommendation Coltraine!

Hi, I'm shopping for a sofa or sectional for a condo and was wondering if any one has recommendations for something ergonomic with good quality in the $1500 - $2000 range in the city? Thanks!

While I would have preferred different brick, and I'm not into that random zig zag thing in the rectangle, I actually like this. That street furniture really make me cry though...why Toronto WHY?! Looks so ridiculous beside the elegant street lamp.

The color coordination looks like the result of someone who chewed up 80s era Batman.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but can anyone give me a synopsis of the circumstances that the majority of these pictures were taken under? There's pics I like from the Toronto archives of the Junction about 100 years ago, with workers laying tracks. Why were these pictures...

I'm looking for recommendations for an economic "every day" Scotch/Whiskey. Not a fan of Canadian Whiskeys. I usually drink Jameson's and would like to try something else decent and different in its price range. Also seek recommendations for a Scotch like Glenlivet's price range for rarer...

I'm almost against this development because it's going to block the view of that wonderful fish.

So are they close to completing the roof on the highest tower?

Wasn't there rumors that there would be a development on the site of the Price Choppers and that the ground floor would be a Sobey's? I recall reading that somewhere on this site.

This is going to be "Metropolis Living" which is slated to open June 4th (Friday) Website: http://www.metropolis-living.com/ ^Reminds me of Smash from the picture, looking forward to it

Sweet, we have a name change!
