I hear you...

....but outside the few exceptions, developers here don't want pride...as it doesn't make them money. Or so they claim. Either way, if they are allowed to do so, this crap will continue to be built within our city.

Not only do they (or in this case Canderel) profit from it, they also win awards:

YC Condos wins a Bild Award! | Canderel Residential

We’ve put so much effort into making sure the unique qualities of YC Condos would be recognized as a force to be reckoned with in the Toronto condo market when we first launched in January 2014, and it worked! Just recently, YC Condos was awarded the High Rise Project of the Year at the 2015 […]

So weird that Hoops actually came back to this space so many years later...

Some miscellaneous retail in this city have a knack for coming full circle. Just like the Hasty Market at Simcoe & Elm

300 Simcoe @ Elm (?, 2s commercial, ?)

It's a strange low quality structure altogether. From up-close, the stone blocks that comprise its facade combine for a really rough and highly noticeable uneven surface.

I’ve lost track of how long the poor sports bar has had broken windows, it feels like a couple of years at least but I could be wrong. Well they have finally replaced the broken glass.

It was a sign, Hoops get their windows repaired and Leafs advance into the 2nd round of the NHL playoffs.

Has anyone been to Hoops? It looks pretty sad from outside, with those tiny doors and windows. Are they doing OK? Or will they be gone by the end of the playoffs (Leafs or no Leafs)?

I've only been to Hoops once but that was over a decade ago in their original digs before the block was redeveloped for YC Condos. Just have vague memories that it was dark and generic sports bar-ry. Not really the most compelling place to want to go back to. Google reviews seem mixed at best.
