In case anyone thinks Toronto is uniquely bad at architectural preservation:

Look, I love snark as much as the next person, but I have to ask: what alternatives do you suggest we read to keep us informed about provincial and municipal affairs?

It's finished, it looks fabulous, and Rosedale has somehow survived.

Looks like this project is nearly dead. From the North Toronto Post:

This will really be a defining moment for Chow. Is she just going to roll over or is she going to mobilize a public outcry?

This is going impressively fast. Only six months or so since ground broke.

Happened by this site and noticed they're finally building the Canadian Tire.

What are they even doing

I've been hanging around Bloor and Yonge since the early eighties. It seemed as safe as any major intersection back then.

There's nothing false in that statement. It'll be a great building, and Mizrahi has a right to be proud. of it. Is he a narcissist? I'm not a psychiatrist, so I wouldn't presume to make that diagnosis. No doubt everybody playing in the RE development game has a healthy ego.

SkyGrid this morning

Starbucks' last day was Saturday. The Pizza Hut in that plaza has already closed.

Man this thing's slow. Nearly three years since it broke ground.

Is it just me, or are there way too many dentists now?

Agree 100 percent. How hard would it have been to at least dye the mortar red?

The photo above beautifully illustrates the design sense and attention to detail that prevails in northern Ontario [sarcasm]. I'm allowed to be snarky because I grew up in Timmins.

A silly decision. As has been pointed out, Dundas, by the standards of his time, was one of the good guys. He was an abolitionist but knew Wilberforce's bill had no chance of passing unless softening language was inserted. He backed a compromise on the logic that half a loaf was better than no...

Wondering if this is the tallest approval I've ever seen of a building that was NOT on an avenue or main street

It's amusing to watch as it dawns on progressives that their champion is turning out to be John Tory in a dress.

The sad thing is, he'd be right.
