It's amazing what the PanAms achieved, and in a climate and context where so little of substance or quality is achieved by the city! It's exciting to imagine what the Olympics would do for us one day... 2028!

For what it's worth, I was actually in strongly favour of the PAG as they require facilities and 'villages' that can easily be re-purposed for use by 'regular folk' after the games are over. The Olympics demand huge stadia that are not so easily reused and experience in most previous locations shows HUGE cost-overruns and debt. I would MUCH rather see us bidding on a World's Fair as this brings people to the City over a 6-month period, still expedites 'infrastructure' and improvements.LOL, the only thing 'bankrupt' is vision, optimism and confidence. Sad version of Toronto you live in, sad.
I'm just glad that those who envisioned and planned for the Panams didn't have such a bankrupt vision!
Which "it" do you mean? The area between Cherry, Old Eastern, Corktown Common and the rail berm is still blocked off to everyone except contractors. It will all, apparently, open next spring when most of the construction involved in converting the "Village" to housing etc is complete.Did I miss something? Is it open to pedestrians now?
Perhaps it's just far enough from Riverside to well serve the West Donland-ites, Distillery/Corktown folks and Regent Parkians.Tabulé? Yum. Good news, that. So close to the Riverside location though!
