As someone who will be living here I will say, please not Ikea.

I want something I can use day to day.

walmart, Cdn Tire, some department store, grocery store, etc...

Maybe not a full Ikea - but one of their new "pick up" locations that they have recently announced

Hopefully it’s a store that’s owned by Torontonians, not a giant corporation based in Sweden or the U.S.

It's a 150,000 sqft space...you're dreaming.

Not really... Canadian Tire stores are independently owned and operated

It would meet his criteria if one were to open.

There are too many Canadian Tire stores downtown already, and I don't enjoy their shopping experience. I'd prefer something we don't have downtown yet (I.e. Walmart or Costco).

Just pointing out that he wouldn't be dreaming...

Canadian Tire, Rona, any of the grocery stores would meet his criteria.

So you hate Canadian Tire's shopping experience but want a Walmart?

Isn't Lowes expanding? The location could be good for them.

Yep, I've found Walmart's shopping experience far superior to Canadian Tire. There are times I have been in Canadian Tire where the store is empty, I can't find what I'm looking for, and there isn't a single person on the floor to help me. Also, Walmart has a much larger variety of products than Canadian Tire does.

That's great news for London and makes a lot of sense.

Within 50 km of London live 600,000 people and it is the shopping centre of SW Ontario.

They've picked up some mighty fine glass for this one. It looks great from just about every angle.

It's surely not bad but we're still nowhere near where other cities are. The stuff on London's Leadenhall Building comes immediately to mind as some of the finest I've ever seen. Unbelievably clear and almost completely free of wave-forming impurities:

Stone looks really nice up close. Marble I think.
