    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    Drum, can you tell me what is going on with the median in the pic below? I have been trying to find out why they would separate it by that much. I found some drawings (from an old town hall meeting) showing that at this point, there will be transfers, but this shouldn't require them to widen...

    Mississauga (non-mall) Retail

    Noticed this while on my usual pilgrimage to Heartland yesterday... Seems like they are well on their way to opening soon based on what's going on inside, and date on sign shows August 7th. Location is right beside Costco in the vacated Urban Planet location. This is one of my favourite...

    Toronto 2 Queen West | 34.44m | 7s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

    4 times = 300% 1 time does not equal 100%... 1 time equals 1. Something is 2 times when it equals 100%. For example, when something is 100% more, it is double (or 2x or 2 times). So when something is 4 times, it is 300%, NOT 400%. Yep. I did.

    Miscellany Toronto Photographs: Then and Now

    First post... After lurking for years... But I couldn't resist. Mustapha, I went to that school. Many good memories still after 30 years. The school actually has two sections: the newer one facing Glenholme that you have taken the picture of, and which looks nothing like the first pic...
