i have tickets to a couple events here and i'm dreading it. even though it's attached to a subway line it's still a pain to get to. It's funny that NOFX just had a MASSIVE farewell tour and played in fields and parking lots (including downsview) and their reasoning was to avoid Live Nation. I...

imagine having a finance background and listening to your realtor saying interest rates would remain stable? this guy needs to accept he took a risk at a time when people believed there was no risk in real estate.

Interesting. i'd like to see more retail on Cannon Street. This is kinda ugly in my opinion but heck, affordable housing? build it. it's also better than what's there right now.

fill in all the major hamilton routes with 8 storey midrise and retail at the base please. Start doing King St along the LRT.

meh, it's personal. I'd personally prefer a balcony over "architectural design" but the people who bought in that building clearly think otherwise as they'd pick a different building if they needed a balcony.

there's no transit here. yikes.

i love having the Rock in Hamilton. my gf and i go to the games and it's a great time. The attendance has been real good too.

it's funny how this was gold, and then champagne and now a very subdued champagne. this building blends in a little too perfectly with the CIBC building next door. I think originally the colours were a bit different.

those mechanical floor corners look ripe for pigeons and if we're lucky falcons. I'm assuming there will be some sort of bird prevention set up on those corners?

the basement mall would like a word with you

can't wait to see the glass and paneling once it passes the mechanical floor. i'd love to see how it looks with the mechanical floor.

is it possible he's just spewing venom out of anger and frustration and that things actually aren't going to change that much?

building is kind of ugly but it's a million times better than a rubble patch and there's ground floor retail.

yea, this isn't the original location of Battlefield House. "The two-storey Georgian-style dwelling was completed in 1880 and was remodelled by five successive generations of the Nash family. In 1999, it was relocated to Battlefield Park and today houses a gift shop, exhibit gallery, and unique...

correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't battlefield house actually moved there after the fact? it was originally across the street and further east i believe. also I understand the monument but i'm not sure where you're getting the whole "it's meant to be the highest thing in the area". where does...

bring it on. we need the housing.

the ground level should be retail if it's an affordable seniors residence. maybe groceries or a drug store or a clinic. I think all along Barton there should be ground floor retail.

i think apple will come back. They cancelled the deal yes, but that doesn't mean they aren't/won't be renegotiating it with more favourable terms.

yes, i think so too. there will be some large changes this year in coaching (i think). i think hype will return next year but i think everyone will be a little more guarded and reserved in saying the Jays are a World Series contender. I went 5 jays games this year (2 at the dome). i 'm hoping...

terrible series, lets tear this place apart now.
