You THINK?!?
I believe the Rogers Centre used to be nicknamed "SkyDome"
I believe the Rogers Centre used to be nicknamed "SkyDome" (probably because it's dome opened to the sky).
Some people still call it Skydome, just as some people still say Royal York instead of the Fairmont Royal York. The Royal York name was going to be dropped all together in favour of the corporate brand, but was kept due to public protest.
Once I'm used to a name, I tend not to want to start calling it something else simply because some company says so. Likewise, I still call Toronto Life Square, Metropolis. My friends know what I mean, so that's the important part.
I also think of Rogers Centre as the corporate HQ. Skydome is and always will be Skydome. And like gei, I never use "Fairmont" for the Royal York. Too much of a corporate mouthful, imo.
Yeah I absolutely loathe Rogers for changing the name of our iconic stadium. I truly hated that guy. And "some people" say Royal York? I've never heard anyone say "Fairmont" Royal York. I've also never heard anyone say scotiabank theatre...
If this was said tongue-in-cheek then please excuse me.... but are you serious?? It was called the skydome for like 15 years.

Who? Why don't they just take money from the Nathan Phillips Square renovation project? Yous guys call yourselves philanthropists. I can smell cheddar but I don't see it being passed around. Somebody give Warren Buffett a call but tell him to drop the 2nd 't' in his name and live up to it's true meaning.
Money may be the culprit here but if everyone at city hall would just sit and watch this video (esp. :19-:26) I'm sure they'd be inspired and would find a way to raise the necessary funds.

Is there anything that can really stop us when we have a mayor with such an intense presence? 40 second mark. Mayor Miller in his prime.

Speaking of lashes. KinK is an excellent program.
Kinda went nuts on deleting posts didn't ya?
Why leave his original comment and proceed to delete a sensible response ......
It really doesn't make any sense.
If you want to scrap his whole line of questioning I think you should delete the original post he made just above your comment.
If not I can't fathom why you deleted my reply ... that's pretty much giving him a brand new start.
I want to give Mojo a chance to start with that question again. If he has a serious question, he can try to dig it out and start again.
In regards to the subsequent posts, they just refer to stuff I've deleted and leaving them would clutter up the thread more. The deletes will likely be removed from the thread soon, and it will all be cleaned up.
