Has anyone seen the episode of United Shades of America that W Kamau Bell had partly shot at the St Lawrence? He came and contrasted the social climate in the USA with us.

The former Coffee Time/Caribbean Taste at the corner of Princess and The Esplanade has been leased and gutted. Anyone know what’s going in there?

Today, Friday July 20th - looks like the fitness centre (between the opening soon Popeyes and the defunct Angelos pizza) will be a F45 franchise:
Never heard of them myself and had to Google them up. https://f45training.ca/torontodowntown/

Curious about this, too. The space has now been totally cleaned out and the signs in the window have been changed to "leased". No building permits as of yet.

The large restaurant space on the corner of The Esplanade and Market Street (formerly Pastizza and Cresta) has been leased. It will be home to the second location of Cirillo's Academy, a culinary school that's been operating on Dundas for nearly a decade.

It will be great to see this nice new building put to an appropriate food-related use.

Is the BIA or Toronto Hydro responsible for the heritage street lamps along Front? Those in the median and along the south side of the street between Church and Jarvis have been dark for weeks. I also noticed tonight that all the trees along the nothing-happening-here site for the north market are surrounded by huge weeds (similar to the lot itself). Again, BIA or the city?

The St Lawrence BIA neither owns nor maintains any of the streetlights in their area. All are the responsibility of Toronto Hydro Street Lighting. You are right that these have been out for weeks (and have been reported). Maybe the more reports the better (Call THSL at (416) 542-3195,) but the problem is clearly more serious than bulbs out and MAY be connected to the major Hydro problem just west of Church where they are currently changing all the wiring for everything.

The place that used to be G for Gelato is being replaced with Cafe Oro di Napoli.
Popeyes (where the Burger King used to be) on Front and George will split a small section with Booster Juice.

The former "coal fired pizza' place at corner of Front & George seems to be being prepared to re-open as a Chez Cora.
