Doing a little research and trying to confirm two things: 1) What was the exact date the Hwy 6 extension opend from the 403 south towards the Hamilton Munro Airport; and, 2) I'm looking for resources for chronological order of ownership of the Airport itself. On-line.. I've been able to...

Don't you just hate those huge cheap looking street signs in Barton Village (pic 17). when you approach them form the opposite direction, it's just a huge ugly aluminum oval. blah. it'll take more than that and street furniture too spurce that stretch up.

i'm all for green energy and the like. but i hate that wind mill at exhibition. well, what i hate is how when you look west through the princess gates - you see the windmill smack dab in the middle. the city should do more to preserve the few vistas that we have. this link doesn't give...

good to here kiwi.. any insider info on who the new land owner group is?

Sold my townhouse in Oakville on the first day of list in late february, 09 and bought a detached in Oakville, also, on it's first day of the listing. bought the new place before we listed, so it was a little stressful.

Ahhh right. Thanks!

Havana Matanzas Propaganda

really enjoyed those! looking forward to the rest. especially madrid. I've been there, but not italy.

i would have liked to see the brick carried down to the ground floor. soften the streetscape. that grey siding at street level just sucks. they have to be careful. If you put a building on the parking lot on the north side of nelson.. similar in scale, nelson will turn into a street you...

just took this pic today around 12:50pm ------- well, i can't seem to get this pic up right now.. i'll have to DL off my phone later. but, the whole front facade is now gone, as is the roof. side, and rear walls only. pile of rubble in the middle.

thanks so much chrisr!

I was driving west on Rebecca, just passing Dorval, when my wife spotted these abandon looking houses on Tudor Ave. We drove north on Tudor and saw the Department of National Defense signs, indicating authorized vehicles only. with two sleeping kids under two, we obliged. but i can't figure...

I tried to get a discussion going on this in the “this week in heritage conservation crimes†but it didn’t go anywhere. http://www.urbantoronto.ca/showthread.php?p=360104#post360104

wow, these roads look like they were designed by the 1983 City of Mississauga public works department.

good to hear. and ditto for over head street car lines. i mean, just imagine standing at spadina and dundas without them. you'd feel naked.

with all due respect, i don't think Pilinha has a real understanding of the industry. class is in session. Student (Pilinha) meet teacher (Mike in TO)

Hamilton's Century (Lyric) Theatre It's a shame.. but this is a classic example. the market can't afford $$ to convert to condo. it's in private ownership. hmm what to do? Seriously? From the spec http://www.thespec.com/News/Local/article/701118 Another downtown heritage...

i don't get what the big deal is with wooden electricty poles. granted, they are inappropriate for some grander blvds, but i find they also add a bit of character to the street life. maybe i'm alone on this one?
