Thanks for the link. I took a closer look yesterday and saw the Sesqui signage. And it opens next week, should be interesting.

Anyone know what this is?

I don't think that would happen here, we could simply design the stadiums and exhibit halls to turn into condos after the event.

Stryke Target Range on Dundas just east of River (formerly a dog grooming store, beside the Lexus dealership) has an Open House this weekend starting today at 3:00 pm. For anyone looking to throw an axe. http://stryke.ca/promos/ I'm hoping to check it out later this evening.

Cycle Solutions is a quality bicycle shop with a wide range of bikes, not only road and mountain. And they have a tough time getting through the slow winter months so another bike shop in the area would have a hard time surviving.

Yes that Wendy's is disappointing. But the Paintbox remains so there is another option. I noticed too that the convenience store is completely gutted, with no indication of what is going in or when it will be re-opened. And there's been no activity in it, the past couple of days.

Pan Am Games contributed towards 2015 being Toronto's best year for tourism. http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/toronto-tourism-reached-all-time-high-in-2015-statistics-1.2770067 Ontario Place doesn't have nearly enough available space nor infrastructure for a World Expo.

I never know if the developers: a. Ask for 38-40 when they really want 32-36 and will "compromise" down to demonstrate they're reasonable, community-oriented people, or b. Ask for 38-40 and if the city refuses, pay off, er, request the OMB to overrule the city. And...Regent Park is looking good!

The video was okay but left out one of my favourite details of the reno, this signage:

I walked through there today and didn't see any litter. OTOH, leaving my apt building in the area I saw a white, first world man throw a food wrapper into the bushes beside the walking path. WTF?! We live here dude, who do you think is going to clean that up :mad:

There are a couple of abandoned subway stations downtown. Lower Bay (sometimes used for movie shoots), and another at Queen.

Olympics costs many billions more. (Why do we need another stadium that will be too big for any local sporting events?) And much less $$$$ in security for Expo. The Pan Am Games were safe, but there were often absurd number of police everywhere. Expo would als0 provide permanent "things". For...

Maybe we'd be more interested if we participated. Over 100 pavilions at the Milan2015 Expo but Canada couldn't be bothered. Probably because the current federal gov't thinks the only thing we have to offer the world is tarsands bitumen.

Quite the opposite. An Olympics village for the athletes would be another, and larger opportunity than Pan Am to develop neglected space with a massive housing project. Besides, Toronto doesn't need the Olympics to "raze area and displace" residents. That's happening now and will continue to...

Enough people to fill that stadium trying to get there via the limited Portlands roads would be quite interesting. But the 'where' is a problem that can be solved. The Pan Am Games have more sports, more events and more athletes than the Olympics and has gone pretty well so far.

Agree. What's the point of living in a big city if it's not going to host huge spectacular events when possible. The Scarborough subway will be a never-ending waste of money. TCHC is huge bottomless pit of spending that will never be enough, and never end. People should take some time and look...

A bridge in the flight path of the expanded Billy Bishop Airport seems like a bad idea. But what's the cost for a movable bridge to the islands? At least 2 lanes for cars/trucks (large enough for the tractor-trailers used for concerts) + walkway for pedestrians + bike lanes?

It isn't Toronto if people aren't complaining.

Only movie theatres and small convenience stores were allowed to be open on Sunday. (Maybe drug stores too, it was a long time ago!) Going to the LCBO was like something out of a Russian novel. No products could be displayed. Only names and their codes were posted on the walls. You had to fill...

The Molson Amphitheatre is isolated from the existing path that runs along the shore which will become part of the new trail. ps I really hated the Bill Davis era in Ontario.
