    Marriott: don't they care?

    For more than a year and a half now myself and millions of people have had to look at this: (the sign, not the ugly mechanical box) My houseguests are always shocked that the Marriott brand would be treated so horribly. What possible excuse can this Marriott at Yonge and Bloor in...

    CondoRebates.ca? Is this BS?

    Got a letter in the mail today from "Canadian Condo Rebates". Never heard of them. They are writing to me "in regard to your condominium rebate eligibility." Sounds like some sort of phishing scam. Especially when you go to the website condorebates.ca. Anyone know anything about this?

    Who lives in Manulife Centre Apartments?

    I understand there are more than 800 pricey apartments in the Manulife Centre tower at 44 Charles St. W. I've never known anyone who's lived there and I'm curious... who does? Are these rich kids attending U of T? Relocated workers whose company is paying the rent? Life long renters? Just...

    Idiotic Motorcyclists

    Unfortunately my daily commute currently means I spend way too much time on the Don Valley Parkway and the 401. Without fail, every day, I witness some of the most stupid, dangerous and reckless actions by almost every motorcyclist I see. Blaring in and around vehicles, doing clearly...

    Mobilia Furniture

    “Never EVER shop at Mobilia Furniture. You will be sorry”, said a wise friend of mine. I didn’t listen. I’m now paying the price. I bought piece of furniture at their Dixie store in Mississauga. It was defective. Actually, it was shockingly defective. I returned it. For six weeks they have...

    This latest member is clearly a robot that has infiltrated UT (and funnily enough is fooling UT members).

    Casaguy goes to Chicago (1 of 3)

    What an absolutely beautiful city. We lucked out with unseasonably warm weather last weekend and loved every minute of our first trip to Chicago. I look forward to going again. If you've never been and you love buildings and urbanism... go. And absolutely take Porter. What a quick and seamless...

    Ashbridges Bay Skate Park

    Surprisingly, no thread (or mention elsewhere) for this ongoing project at Lakeshore Blvd E and Coxwell. (Also, some City of Toronto material uses an apostrophe and some does not when spelling "Ashbridge's". My understanding is that Ashbridge is the name of a family and therefore should have an...

    Boycott Dove

    This strike has been going on for what seems like YEARS. What's the story here at DVP and Lakeshore? (I can't find an existing thread for this).

    Time to Ban Phone Books

    With the war on plastic bags well underway I think it's time for this... Yellow Pages. White Pages. What an incredible and shameful waste of paper. When was the last time you relied on one? 1999? An informal survey of friends tells me I'm not alone in my concerns. Except for many seniors who...

    750 Lake Shore Blvd. E. (Urbacon, 1s, ?) COMPLETE

    I've been watching this construction site with interest and now I keep admiring the finished product more and more each time I go by. I thought this commercial development was worthy of some praise from UT. I'm having a bit of trouble though finding out who's behind this sexy looking addition...

    Red Hot Condos (Don Mills & Lawrence E., Camrost-Felcorp, 9s, Atkins) COMPLETE

    My apologies if there is already a thread for this (not that it's worth one). There ain't nothing red nor hot about this thing leering over the Don Valley. A note about Camrost-Felcorp: Years ago (early 90s) I lived in a twin tower project of theirs at 18 Hollywood Ave. in North York. I was...

    Dodge The Pothole

    Seriously. More and more. Bigger and bigger. There's one on Charles St. just a few feet west of Yonge that could swallow a Mini. The 401 east and westbound across the top of the city is getting out of control. Except for a portion of Eglinton near O'Connor I haven't seen any crews fill in...
