Wouldn't it be spectacular if the city built a plaza with steps/seating built into the hill where the photo above (Source: Flonicky) was taken from off of Broadview Avenue? Great place to watch sunsets, the skyline, and the fields below.. Something like this:

Had this conversation with my wife numerous times.... turns out there is something (what who knows) in the works: https://www.toronto.ca/city-governm...riverdale-park-east-top-of-bank-improvements/
I've been coming here for 45 years for the sunsets, protip, the stairs of the church are the place to be and I don't have to sit in dirt or dog pee.

Not to hijack this thread, but thank you for that. I spent a couple of weeks housesitting in Riverdale and was surprised to find how dilapidated Riverdale park really is once you've had to sit in it or delve down to the muddy overgrown lawn down below. What a waste of a wonderful opportunity, I thought. I'm glad to hear that something is being planned....

...for us to look at One Bloor West on the skyline (aaaand back on topic!)
 
Here's an annual time-lapse of 1 Bloor W, updated from a similar post I did a year ago. Delayed by a week or so to get the spiky crown update shots in! Three sequences!

#1: The view from the NE corner of Yonge and Bloor, starting with view before above-ground construction started, on Feb 11, 2020, followed by annual looks in October: Oct. 9, 2020; Oct. 8, 2021; Oct. 14, 2022; Oct. 13, 2023; Oct. 11, 2024; and this past Friday, Oct. 17, 2025.

#2: Then, as it rose high enough to be visible from Cumberland, a bit east of Bay: first view on July 21, 2023, then Oct. 13, 2023; Oct. 11, 2024; and Oct. 17, 2025.

#3: The final set of 4 is the view from the south as the tower became visible, starting early in 2023: Feb. 19, 2023 from around Wellesley; Dec. 8, 2023 from Dundas; Oct 11, 2024 from Alexander, it looks like; this past Friday, Oct. 17 from Dundas.

And, yes, I will be creating a time-lapse video at some point. Have an Avid as part of my job, plus some crack editors who will help me make it look good!

Sorry to tell you, but you’re too late. About 4.6 billion years too late. The star at the centre of our solar system blasts millions of times more EMF into your home every second than a TV antenna ever could.

Radio signals are just organized electromagnetic waves, a few microwatts per square metre vs the Sun’s 1,000 watts per square metre.
