Aroma has been there for a while. I suspect it isn’t very busy because passengers can get free coffee/tea/snacks in the aporter lounge, but yes if it were spruced up, it would be quite a nice spot, even if you weren’t flying anywhere.

Really looking forward to this place being less of an urbanistic dog's breakfast.

Am I right in assuming there is still no definitive plan for the silos? I wish we could have some sort of climbing gym in there similar to Allez Up in Montreal.

Is there enough room in them for a craft brewery?

Look at Cape Town for inspirations:

I would still love a one-of-a-kind museum where they can really take advantage of the building and all of the complexities involved.
Canadian music and media?
Space and aviation?
Brewing and distilling?
Street art?
Culinary arts? (Imagine howninteractive that would be)
Put In a Restaraunt and event space with a viewing deck up top.

I hate to add to the constant whine that seems to emanate from UrbanToronto at times, but does anyone else find this plan to be as disappointing as me? First, I just can't believe a surface parking lot would be proposed in 2019. I'm sure there are those who think it is necessary because of the airport, but I just can't help but feel it is wrong. Take transit or a cab. Second, the surface space is far too pavement-centric. What is the expanse supposed to be used for? Will there be programming? Why isn't there more greenery/landscaping/trees? It just strikes me as a fairly banal project with a lack of imagination. Now, if the Silos were to become a world-class venue of some kind, I could potentially forgive it, but as it stands now it seems to me that it will essentially be a sea of grey pavings/parking lot mirrored by a sky of grey concrete.
