Haha, pretty much.

BTW, Big Steele Man was Fairweather's long-lost menswear division.

I still mourn the lost Daniel Hechter sweatshirts of my youth that came from Big Steel - not to mention their groovy mirror and chrome store decor.

 

[Urban Shocker]

Try Goodwill. You can probably buy back the same sweatshirts you once wore.

How exuberantly dire! They can't get those ads up fast enough.

[Sir Novelty Fashion]

Yeah... a little heavy on the exuberance, in that shot.

The ads are going up? - no way. - Maybe in June.

one new pic from the metropolis website......looks like the "nose" is enclosed..

 

[ganjavih]

I like the nose. So far so good.

 

[salvius]

On that new pic, it looks to me all you need to do is add the front part, and you've basically got a Robarts Library of sorts.

 

[Hydrogen]

The nose?

 

[Sir Novelty Fashion]

I see what you're saying, with the small caveat that Robarts is an enduring and magnificent monument, while Metropolis is a remarkable piece of non-architecture. All the same...

 

[salvius]

^ well, you gotta sort of squint and ignore certain things, but it makes sense to me

I love Robarts, by the way, though I seem to be in the distinct minority.

 

[caltrane74]

So far so good. But this is one of my favorite projects, and I cant say anything bad about it.

 

[Venti de Milo]

I know I've been bitching about it many times...still, I wish they had done something interesting at the Yonge/Dundas corner, similar to the "nose" would be nice...
