I'll say for myself that taking a look along Bloor East, a lot of those planes *do* look like they're nailed to their perch, unfortunately.
Oh, sometimes one must put aesthetics aside; the watering bags serve an essential purpose - ensuring the newly planted trees get regular watering. True they do not look great but if they were not being used (finally in Toronto) the trees would probably die and THAT hardly looks great either. (Read the hysteria above about possibly dead trees!) Usually they only use the bags in Year 1 so by next year ..... Patience, US.
Anybody have any clue as to what the Colonnade is planning for their Bloor Street plaza? They've removed the water fountain and that Chinese Restaurant on the second floor is gone.
More upscale retail tenants?
That has to be one of the ugliest corners in all of Toronto. Why the hell would they put such an unfriendly bank bunker there? There should be a great restaurant/patio or something pedestrian-friendly on such a prominent corner. The Bay's slab is also so wrong.When construction started on Bloor all the vendors were kicked out and were supposed to be relocated. That hasn't happened yet but this hot dog vendor got their spot back, albeit temporarily. I was told that they will only be there until October when a piece of artwork will be installed at that corner. Anyone have more info?

That hot dog vendor must have just returned recently, I hadn't noticed it until I saw this photo. It's got to go, this is a busy corner and it will leave behind grease stains and runs on the granite, just as it did before on the concrete sidewalk. Plus it adds to the unsightliness of the corner.

Portage and Main has more going for it aesthetically.
