Notice the Bell ad was not working.
Who could be so cruel to dress up those poor, struggling little trees like that?

so nothing is going in the area highlighted?
I noticed today too, it seems like there's only one escalator joining the second and third levels. I don't get it. Assuming that the escalator runs up, how do you get back down? Wait for an elevator? The fire stairwells? Whatever they have planned it would have to be something capable of handling large crowds, like you'd get after three movies let out at the same time.
Yogurt is sexy, I suppose, and at least the ad isn't white, but I for one am looking forward to an enormous Calvin Klein underwear ad nonetheless.
I'm curious though, why is the Christmas tree still up?
What about all the time, labour and effort involved in changing out the large ads- wouldn't this conceivably add up to, or at least come close to just putting up more LCD's?
Don't think of it as a mall, Think of it as a soup'd up movie theatre covered in advertising.
More like a soup'd up theatre covered in very cheap looking, fugly advertising which is attached onto equally cheap backlit static displays. I'm quite surprised with the hardon that so many forum members have for this boring overstated advertising blillboard.
Well, as cheap as the advertising is on the building, be thankful that none of the other billboards in the area are that much different than those on the TLS building. Utilitarianism at it’s best and as cheap and gaudy as it is, it gets the job done.
Job being: provide convertible advertising space to companies that want to market their junk to the masses, space for university students to go to lecture, the most definitely required new theatre space in the downtown core. If everything came down to the aesthetics you’d have to blow up Yonge Street and start all over again.
