I'd just as easily call this the Coca Cola Stop if this was called the Aga Khan stop. (Due to the loss of a nice modernist building in that area*). I'm glad the surfaces are finally being repaved here for pedestrians.

It will be many years before Science Centre is demo'd, if it does end up moving to Ontario Place.

The Ontario Science Centre being demolished doesn't sit well with me. While its significance in recent years has somewhat diminished, the building is still a very integral part of the Toronto persona.
