hey, i showed up for the walk yesterday (monday). it was freakn cold, but i still had a good time. started my day there with a "one pound" burger and fries at BlackJack Grill. Damn that's a big burger...it was great. anyhow the tour/walk was rather short (from pacific headed east to keele) but...

You people are so judgemental, look at the positives, I for one am going to try to make friends with some of the inhabitants of Bo-Em so I have a place to crash after a drunken karoke night at Gladstone.

i walked by my future neighbourhood today :) and was wondering what they are building at that empty slot, just east of Pacific on the north side of dundas? there's an old sign there that said something along of the lines of "for sale depending on whether the venture suits the spot"(i'm...

^freakn awesome news! so they're doing it in phases i see..makes sense to wait for the part where it connects w/ the dufferin jog. i'm unsure after reading that exactly how far dundas they're going with the first phase? like what would be the main intersection of the ending point(assuming...

awesome! where did you find out it was approved?

hey spezzie and junction parents, apparently you guys didn't see this long-going thread! http://www.urbantoronto.ca/showthread.php?t=836 lol looks like a lot of neighbors in urbantoronto!

thanks for the post to the article rh7, with regards to the last sentence/quote in the article "But the 24-hour transit service is a lifesaver." can anyone elaborate? i'm not planning on owning a vehicle once i'm in the area, strictly metropass. one concern i had was i have friends...

can someone bump this thread up when they know external demolition is going down? thanks

is there a meeting tommorow? website states: Demolition has begun! The Toronto Star named the Junction community one of Toronto’s “top up-and-coming neighbourhoodsâ€. We agree. That’s why Deltera, a member of the Tridel group of companies, will be beginning construction at our Keele...

ya i remember reading somewhere that the local residents complained about how modern or how much glass was used in the appearance of the original proposal...it really would stick out as a sore thumb. in terms of the earlier options renderings (and i think this was discussed earlier in the...

wild!

shoutout to junctionist for mentioning the toronto archives website...just checked it out for some cool pics, go to http://www.toronto.ca/archives/photographs/index.htm and click on "items that have been scanned" and search for "keele dundas". there's a few pics of setting up the rails and...

thanks for the info as always!

thanks, that is freakn awesome! I love pictures like that. all these pics should be digitally archived, i'd love to see more!

i was wondering, i know the heintzman piano factory was somewhere in that area. it wouldnt be anywhere around the location that later became canadian tire would it?

cool, thanks for the info! i'm not sure if i've been to axis, but i know i was at a nice patio during the junction arts festival. it was on the north side of dundas...and it outside it had these massive jars of what appeared to be honey suspended really high like on light poles and bees would...

so junctionist, what are the better restaurants and waterholes you've been to in the area? so far all i've managed to check out was shoxs for a few pints, i think im going to designate that my waterhole! spent a couple of nice summer days on the patio there with a cigar watching dundas street...

nice pics. the area has a rich history and a lot of character. plus how many places have a buddhist temple just down the street! i was taking pics this summer and noticed that there was a buddhist temple up heintzman which i think is going to be one of the main entrances to the complex (you...

very cool ya rh-7, when i figure out how to get a copy i'l let u know.

I have a question how do i go about obtaining a copy of a picture from the TTC Archives? ... in my research to learn more about the junction area, i picked up a publication from the West Toronto Junction Hisotrical Society, which was really done well. Inside it, there's this beautiful...
