I think the window is kind of ugly myself.

Is that Cash Money building going or staying?

Indeed thanks for the pics!
Its also so sad to see what the B&W image showed.. how did we go from fine stone work to aluminum.... something must have gone wrong!

I'd say your points about King and Portland are way off.

Poor transportation? King, Queen, Bathurst, and Spadina streetcars right out your door. Waterfront access only minutes away.
New emerging retail, and an ever growing list of resturants and bars.
Easy access to Gardiner.
Queen Street Retail
Close to Chinatown.

Overall I'd say King and Portland has more going for it than Yonge and Bloor.

Intersection FIGHT!!

 

[Jayomatic]

hahaha. i think both intersections have both good and bad characteristics. For instance, this summer I've noticed the number of drunken people causing trouble or throwing up on the streets to be on the increase. Had to pretty much walk over some guy who was throwing up on the steps of Shoppers Drug Mart last night.

Simply Dan, I'm sure you've been busy with actual "real work" but I gotta say you've been rather lax lately considering your front row seat....

Ya I've been wondering where he's been with his photo updates!

Sorry, the mountain of paperwork on my desk has been growing taller at a much faster rate than any new skyscraper in the area! I promise I'll take some more snaps for you all soon - the view I have of the two cranes (Uptown and Crystal Blu) is incredible! Also, the demolition next door is really fascinating to watch from above.

Also, the demolition next door is really fascinating to watch from above.

Maybe watching the demolition is the reason for the mounting paperwork. Just sayin', no disrespect, how ya doin'?

those poor taxi drivers! I'm still betting there will be a road rage incident resulting in death at this intersection before the autumn.

Makes you wonder how long the south west corner will hold out.
