To my surprise, there were people working on the Ship Channel Bridge today. Maybe it will really be open for vehicles again in a week or so
That depends what scene we're talking about. The underground electronic scene is doing fine right now and that crowd generally wants nothing to do with the likes of Rebel. Not just because the music is cheesy EDM most of the time, but as clubbers grow older, they tend to prefer small/medium size clubs. The options may not be as plentiful as yesteryear, but there are still lots of great parties to choose from every weekend and if I didn't prefer to be in bed by 11 most nights, I would be out as much as I used to be.

...and isn't that how Detroit and Chicago got their electronic music scene? Still thriving and innovating after 40 plus years.Agreed. This niche of house/electronic music lovers have migrated to venues in some pretty unexpected parts of town including Dundas/Lansdowne, Geary ave/Dufferin and even Weston/McCormack street. There are a lot of rusty industrial pockets in former York and the west end in general which have great "warehouse" venue potential that would not pose any residential noise issues. I just hope the city becomes more vocal and assertive in maintaing a more robust and varied nightlife economy.
Any flooding in the lower Donlands with this weekend's heavy rainfall? It was heavier around the west end.

Not quite billions of years but here it is in 1901- according to City Archives this is the Eastern Avenue Bridge BUT, from the geography this looks more like the King Street Bridge to me!. Wikipedia seems to think the Eastern Avenue bridge was built in 1933So after a billion years of being left to rot they're finally toasting it...
It is supposed to be down (but still closed). Ports Toronto website says:Bridge looked like it was DOWN when I drove by late last night.
Hold up, what's that modernist beaut in the back?I asked WT if they are also going to remove the ENBRIDGE GAS BRIDGE when they remove the Old Eastern Avenue Bridge immediately south of it. Their response ....That bridge is owned by Enbridge Gas and they will be removing it on their own.
It looked like this in 1989/1990 and has not changed much since
