The floor tiling in the POPS looks fine in these photos, not so much in real life - lots of uneven and cracked tiles - probably because they park trucks on it!

The most flattering image of Time and Space I could possibly take. Still had to chop a little off the top tho.

thankfully the lower sections clad in black and white are not so horrible and the streetwall on front should be pretty uniform. just dont look up

True, but the problem is that the retail is poorly designed to attract 'exciting' street-level activity. I fear we will get the usual mish-mash of nail salons, dental offices, dry cleaners and pot shops.

And the streetwall on Esplanade should be pretty "interesting"!

We need a high-end kinda local Market.

Three blocks from one of the world's best local markets?

Yeah, why not? St. Lawrence Market is too touristy and busy. We need a high-end local market for all the new families moving into the area.

Clearly you do not go there often. The SLM does get crowded, does have tourists but has great fresh food and knowledgeable vendors and is getting smarter (too smart?) new vendors too.

No doubt! I love SLM too! But I think having another high-end market would help the community environment. Something like the markets in Europe. They feel more homey.

Anyway, it's better than nail salons, dry cleaner, ...

They are, at last, pouring the Front street sidewalk. It has been closed since November but should probably open next week. Still small sections on Princess and Lower Sherbourne (where the construction elevators were) to do.
