so awesome...this 'hood is full of awesomeness.

loving the progress of the junction. I like how they're restoring the storefront above curry twist. Nice to see all the new things pop up, but don't we have enough of the "organic" type places? how about a couple of classy bars? anyone know of the progress of the public space they wanted to...

how did u junctionites find the blackout? keep warm! Solero featured on blogto, http://www.blogto.com/announcements/2009/01/finding_burek_in_the_junction/

See, that's what I'm talking about. I find things like that interesting....thinking about when i walk up keele just a little bit past dundas, looking into the east of i think the first alley that has one of those old fashioned fire-escapes with some faded writing on the brick...and now im just...

So are there longtime junction residents here (like people that lived in the area when canadian tire was actually functional) i dont even know when the canadian tire was no longer operational. I was reading on a different forum about a lot of interesting stories on Heintzman street, the place...

I read this and found it funny as the title of the article is only refered to in the last sentence of the article. Aside from that, I like dundas as its a bit buffered away from queen. what i'm curious about in many years from now is how dundas w will evolve from the east side of keele st...

thanks for the replies guys, never considered how many factors could vary. i guess a better question is, is anyone here a purchaser and know what the expected occupancy date is (based on latest information as i know this project took awhile to start)?

a couple of questions with regards to this project. 1) when exactly did the digging or start of this project take place? 2) what's the anticipated occupancy date? I'm just curious as i get to watch the development on a daily basis (which has been facinating) and want to get an idea of...

anyone ever anticipate anything like a sort of lounge happening in the junction area, say like a gladstone/drake sort of thing a few years from now? are there even areas for such a thing to take place? didn't they used to have halls in the junction way back when in an area just west of keele and...

good point. east of keele up to that cross walk there's not too much going on.

I was bored and photoshop was open, so i quickly tried to imagine what it would be like if the village by high park condos were part of the old junction world, to see if it suited the vibe..(this is really roughly done) i think i'l do a more accurate one when its finally built, i was just...

ya i know, i was wondering about this. actually with the options condo project, i know that before options was involved, there was another developer interested in the old canadian tire site and they wanted to build more of a luxurious condo (with a lot of glass and all) and it didnt go through...

I hear you on the necessary evils...i just thought the test drive thing was rather extreme. however, its good to see the festival getting bigger. i enjoyed it more last year, but that was only because the weather was better so hanging out in the patio was nice.

I passed by and noticed that too, and they were also offering free test drives right there!? I'm just wondering when and where the first Starbucks is going to be. The good thing is that there's better alternatives already. i think we discussed this earlier somewhere in this thread, but it...

here's a description of the junction in Toronto Life's 2008/2009 Guide to Real Estate "where to buy now" magazine that i just picked up. the neighborhood's really starting to sound interesting!

this is probably more of a high park question, but today i was walking just west of the bloor and oakmount road intersection and noticed a bunch of houses in a row boarded up and saw some sign about chemical treatment and some sort of protest signs on the window of one of the houses saying...

thanks for these! can we upload them to the facebook page?

anyone have insight into the reason for the delays with respect to the options Village by High Park project? is it still because of NRI (that factory behind it)

holy delays batman

what is this spot about? i originally thought it had something to do with the dufferin jog, or the west rail path?
