    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    It's new. Apparently was announced in January on their social media.

    LCBO / The Beer Store

    Not to mention many people (especially in downtown) don't have cars. When there was a Beer Store in the Village, I could quickly drop off a bag of empties cus it was a short walk. Now I have to walk to Cabbagetown, which just isn't worth it. Maybe if I had a car it would be fine, but without...

    Eglinton East LRT | Metrolinx

    Council has no input really on the Sheppard subway extension because it's a Metrolinx project and under the agreement made between the City and the Province in 2019, the City has basically no input on Metrolinx's projects. What the City is allowed to work on is projects that are outside of...

    Yonge Street Revitalization (Downtown Yonge BIA/City of Toronto)

    Somewhere DMW is still insisting that there are more cars in this part of Yonge than pedestrians lol

    The Retail Apocalypse

    Ooof they just took over the former Club Monaco on Bloor. Hopefully that gets another tenant soon.

    Downtown Grocery Store List (current + proposed)

    Yep. While unusual for an urban location, that layout isn't uncommon for more suburban No Frills stores, so I'd expect that's the plan here.

    Downtown Grocery Store List (current + proposed)

    Our nation's largest grocery chain is more concerned with attacking their customers for wanting food to be affordable than actually running their stores at this point.

    LCBO / The Beer Store

    We aren't America and shouldn't aspire to be America. The threat of being shot dead at any given moment should not be how we govern societal behaviour. Do we want a society where PoC and people who are LGBT+ are afraid to go to the LCBO? Like I am the most rule abiding person I know, and yet...

    Toronto 645 Yonge | 280m | 76s | KingSett Capital | AS + GG

    Oh for sure. I'm 1000% more sympathetic to the patio argument, when I saw this story earlier so much of it focused on their lawyers talking about it preventing potential redevelopment, which like, I feel isn't an argument people can relate to. Without that angle, I totally hope they succeed here.

    Toronto 645 Yonge | 280m | 76s | KingSett Capital | AS + GG

    So now we have one party trying to stop another party's land value exercise cus would impede on their own redevelopment plans/land value exercise. Peak downtown Toronto right here.

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    You can really see the contrast between the bright, airy atrium and the dark, cramped heritage shed here. If only we could have had the rest of it relocated to other stations or museums or something and had the more open atrium design cover all of the platforms :( Just feels like we chose to...

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    This was my favourite of the options, happy to see it chosen. Love the way it mirrors the shape of the other bridges when looking down the channel. Also totally agree with everyone else though that a pop of colour on the underside of the arch would go a long way.

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

    It'll be a bank, this is Toronto after all. All our major street corners must contain nothing but banks. (This was an RBC at one point pre-renovations IIRC)

    Toronto 399 Yonge | 252.3m | 75s | Capital Developments | Teeple Architects

    Well I guess we're doomed to a dead streetcorner for 5-10 years. What a wonderful main street we have here in Toronto!

    Toronto Eaton Centre (Ongoing Renewal) | ?m | ?s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

    It's only "the same" in that it is still a food hall/fancy food court. Otherwise, literally nothing else is the same.

    Toronto 110 Eglinton East | 236.55m | 58s | Madison Group | Rafael Viñoly

    Also in the case of Forma, I don't think if you sold buyers on it being a Frank Ghery building, and then went "JK ITS KIRKOR!" that would have gone well for them.

    Oakville 157 Cross Avenue | 203.5m | 61s | Distrikt Group | Teeple Architects

    God this space looks sterile and unappealing.

    The seemingly terminal decline of Tim Hortons

    Tim Hortons used to do this in the early 2000s specifically for peanut (and maybe some other) allergies. In retrospect I'm sure it wasn't fun for my parents to explain to 10 year old me that I suddenly wasn't able to have donuts anymore (My mum used to take me and my brother to Tims as a treat...

    Toronto 110 Adelaide Street East | 217.6m | 65s | Stafford | Arcadis

    Meanwhile we must preserve every single sacred single detached home next to a subway line along the Danforth 🙃
