Probably will hold ads.

Bummer about those big old trees. Would it have been for health reasons? The city really needs to extend the park to include the always-vacant (city-owned, if I'm not mistaken) parking lot next door.

Building on site was demolished yesterday. Looks like this is ready to move!

Not sure whether this point has been made already: if you move an event out of downtown to a more peripheral location, assuming attendance doesn't plummet, more traffic will be created because fewer people will be able to access it by non-car means.

^ That's interesting. How much bearing do you think that has on the overall quality & durability of non-structural elements of the building? It seems to me it might not, in itself, have much of an impact on overall quality when not under bombardment.

haha, sounds much better than "paid a grand."

It's a pretty crowded field in Trinity-Spadina. I'm worried that someone like Thompson might have a good shot at winning in such a multi-split race.

Doesn't seem to have been reported by any media. They must be saving their energy for whatever crap Doug thinks of dropping on us. That stuff is always guaranteed top shelf.

"138 two-bedroom units and 159 three-bedroom units" = 456 potential children's bedrooms. And that's if none share.

Laugh as you will about the silly subway plan but, like everything else that comes from Ford, this is BREAKING NEWS at the top of all media. Not surprising he still has so much support given how much attention he gets.

All the more reason to check them out! CTB is a bit of a hole-in-the-wall but has great northern Chinese dishes. Try the dan dan noodles. Also great dumplings. On Dundas west of Spadina. Mother's is easily among the best places in Toronto for dumplings. On Spadina south of College. Noodle Face...

This building, though much more plain, reminds me a bit of the Shin Marunouchi building.

I don't understand why anyone is expecting anything interesting to be said. We've been in this same situation so many times before, and each time it was the usual BS, non-answers, and staying the course for the taxpayers.

Doesn't look like it:

London means world class and green means go.

It's not like there's all this land available in Toronto. At least not for the kind of growth people are interested in: in good neighbourhoods, connected to transit & other infrastructure and amenities, etc. In Toronto, we can't touch any existing residential neighbourhoods. They may as well be...
