Crazy to think that a good 75% of the buildings in that photo weren't here 5-10 years ago.

One of the pictures (from Friday) has 550 Front West in it.
His latest post has The Hudson in it.

He wouldn't be wrong if referring to this image:
550 Front W isn't brick - it's EIFS I think.

550 Front West continues to be an eye sore.

The early days of the condo boom brought us some unfortunate duds. "The Star of Downtown" condos on Wellesley, west of Parliament was another EIFS laced eyesore.

It appears that all the photos are gone in the thread... which is probably a good thing!

It's not hard to find it on Google Maps (or Google proper!) if you want to poke yourself in the eye.
