    Article: Evocative Images of Lost Toronto

    beautiful! they have a classic 'urban alienation' vibe--50's style...(totally accidental on the part of the anonymous 50's TTC photog no doubt.) also, there's nothing like grid lines to help frame a human figure!

    Toronto: the theme park

    excuse me, but did you just say: "All brick buildings along Danforth in Greektown should be covered with white stucco, and blue accents" "Little Jamaica needs a park featuring beach sand, and the street lights should be decorated as coconut palm trees." "All Chinatowns need some more...

    Imagine Music Festival to be biggest Canadian music event ever

    oh wow--that is just so impoverished. anyone that says stuff like that doesn't even like music. there is always amazing music around. always. more than any one person can even keep up with. just like there are always great books, great movies, great buildings. but maybe you don't like books...

    Forum Issues Since Relaunch (Jan 20, 2010)

    I realize it may just be the odd aesthete like me that cares overly about the design issues being flagged. Most users probably only really care about functionality. From the perspective of attracting new people to the site though, it’s hard to overestimate how important good design is. Also, as...

    Toronto Toronto | One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    it doesn't seem weak in the slightest. in fact it is merely pointing out that a massive amount of armchair critiquing and hot air is being generated based on one EXTREMELY STYLIZED render of ONE SIDE of the building--which it to say next to nothing. what is difficult to grasp here? the...

    Toronto Toronto | Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto | 207.86m | 53s | Graywood | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    the ubiquity of this colour is rather irksome at this point. i am curious. what is it that drives this kind of corporate "mind meld" or lemming like behaviour? is it simply a matter of economics--ie is green glass simply the most economical to purchase in large amounts? conformity/conservatism...

    Toronto Toronto | One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    you're being selective--what you also said was: "I am not the only forumer out there that has remarked negatively to his rudimentary drawings. You should read the remarks at SSP and SSC." anyway, as has been previously noted, you have a tendency to sound a bit pleased with yourself, and to...

    Oh sorry, my mistake. The language does bear a striking resemblance to other postings of yours full of somewhat overcooked clarion calls to ‘men of vision’ and ‘men who must lead’ and the like. I assume you’re including yourself in that category….

    Forum Issues Since Relaunch (Jan 20, 2010)

    Long time lurker here… Urbantoronto has been one of my ‘go to’ sites for two years, and I have learned a vast amount about the city from it. It is a very successful enterprise, and you should be commended for the work you are doing, and for taking it to the point that it is now at...

    Jesus man get a grip. No need to get your hair and scarf all windblown about it, they’re building a condo not Valhalla. I know Roys’ Square had decent Indian, but really...Remember what used to be there? Can you say ‘Vein Clinic’?
