^High Park views are overrated imo. (Most of Toronto is covered in a tree canopy so most ppl in apartment buildings have a view like this, only better because there's more things to look at--pitched roofs, church steeples, highrise buildings etc.)

Anyways, here's what it looks like if you're a dog-walking nimby looking back from the right side of Bloor:

Seriously, your "jokes" aren't funny at all.

As promised yesterday, here's part two where we get to really enjoy the views.

I guess the final cladding will make or break this.

Guaranteed park views forever isn't overrated.

I TOTALLY agree, which is way I made the comment originally about the views.

Different POV

This will definitely be nice when it's completed.

 

[urbandreamer]

Dunno about nice. Nice was having a quiet little parkette to myself on a Fall day like today. There used to be a chair in this "park" and I'd sit reading UrbanToronto in the shade, birds tweeting away and nimbies chattering about the noise of home renovators. Now I hear the curses of crude construction workers swinging higher into the park booking OT like it's 1984.

What is wrong with you? Go walk in high park. Nobody cares about dumb parkettes next to the largest park in the city.

 

[urbandreamer]

Everything is wrong with me. But as an area Nimby I do know the crane is not! coming down tomorrow.

 

[urbandreamer]

The brick has arrived and so has the snow--damn you lens full zoom ahead!

So far it looks like the crappiest of '60s public schools meets social housing. (Makes Minto's High Park rentals look downright posh.)

 

[urbandreamer]

Public School Condos?

I give that house 10 years

I wonder how long this ww will last?

 

[ProjectEnd]

Oh boy. Hideous.

 

[interchange42]

Quite a lot has happened here since our last visit a month ago, including a lot more brick going up. Front page story here.
