    Woman in White on a Bridge over the DVP

    I can assure you that this is really her. I saw her so many times in my childhood in the early 70's but not now since perhaps 1989 standing on a bridge over the DVP waving to her 'subjects' just north of Eglinton. Quite the character. She lived in the Danforth and Vic Park area and her house...

    Throw away buildings - CBC

    I'd look towards Pittsburgh's PPG Place (1984) for inspiration that these glass building will not necessarily fail in short time. I have never heard of any issues in that structure. Similar climate to Toronto's as well. I think there is more than the fact that the walls are glass that is at...

    Toronto Toronto | Peter Street Condominiums | 129.84m | 40s | CentreCourt | a—A

    I wonder if the units are being bought mostly by the 30-ish and under crowd. They don't seem to care or be aware of any space beyond that which is necessary to operate their handheld devices anyway. Cocooning has fully arrived.

    Toronto Toronto | Charlie Condos | 122.83m | 36s | Great Gulf | Diamond Schmitt

    There must be an ominous feeling, whether you expected the day to come or not, to see this building arise next door from Glas or The Hudson and forever block the view that you paid for. Buyer beware indeed.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    From my 4 year ridership on this line, almost daily, I have seen a huge up-tick in ridership. Most riders at Rutherford are out of luck for a seat on the second last train (8:24) to arrive in the AM. The additional two cars will be a big help. I'm not certain how they will arrive at each...

    Toronto needs more 300m+ Towers

    The psychology behind it all Fellow members, I love tall buildings, having been fascinated by them since the TD Centre first went up but I often wonder just what about it makes us so compelled to discuss, photograph and sadly even attack in print those among us who don't feel the need for...
