They brought some workers to try and patch up the cladding and are making it an even worse eye sore

...it looks like it's all held together by spit and glue. >.<

The Wendy’s is now open across the street and because of this project. Taken 13 December.

I was hoping they would tear this building down or assemble it with some of the parcels next to it and build something a little more setback from the street. The corner is so tight and the traffic at this intersection is crazy.
 
I guess the craftmanship for this building isn't top-notch...hopefully, the amenities can make up for it.
 
Now that the strip malls at the King-Dufferin intersection have been redeveloped, the City of Toronto should relocate this vehicle yard (maybe somewhere in the Stockyards?) and build some co-op housing buildings here with retail at grade to inject some life into this stretch. Right now it's a dead zone.

They could connect Laidlaw St. and Machells Ave. to King St. to improve access and walkability to the triangle north of LV. A little plaza on the west side of Laidlaw, maybe just a wide sidewalk with some trees.

With all the office in LV, transit access and gorgeous heritage buildings on the south side of the street this should be a space for people, not a dead wall.

Couldn't agree with this more and think about it every time I walk past it.
 
Trying to wrap my head around the fact that the building seems to only be allowing vinyl stickers as store front signs. Doubtful it's Pet Valu's decision, as they had a nice blocky sign at the Carpet Factory location that moved here.

Almost makes me miss the shitty suburban strip plaza with the crackhead McDick's. Almost.

I'm past almost. I want my McDs back. Joe Shuster is too far for dollar cones 😂.

This is better for my health, though.
