I grew up at Keele and Finch and friends of mine who still live there tell me the brown townhouses on Romfield Drive, and the former Ferlisi plaza are both in play or will be soon.

I remember that era: the long, thorough photo updates, and the Mike in TO and Mr. Man development scoops.

That is very tame compared to what my dad told me when he drove the Bloor night bus in the 70s and 80s. Some drivers on that crew would full-on pummel drunks, open the door, toss them out and be on their way. That sent a message out on the street very quickly, you do NOT mess with those drivers...

Is that you Chris?

May or may not be related: Parts of the Green P lot behind Spadina station were fenced off as of this morning.

On that note....

As a resident my interactions with them have also been...not good. They couldn't care less about day-to-day issues in the neighbourhood (litter clean-up, vandalism, etc.) and seem more concerned with their social media and whiz-bang shiny-objects distractions like ice sculptures and car shows...

Crews are tearing up - again - the pavement on top of the concrete pipeline from the pumping station on Balmuto, it's likely there was some kind of rupture or damage (maybe due to the sudden dip in temperature).

Had a feeling this block was going to come into play at some point, as they seem to have allowed a number of the leases to lapse.

Walk by here often, that Starbucks is Ground Zero for Rosedale yoga mums and $3000 prams. This will be fought...hard.

It hasn't, just resurfaced.

The former GAP at Bay and Bloor is being steadily cleared out.

Another good shot of it here: No real love lost for that corner or the 7-11 across from it. Redeveloping both corners will spruce the area up, a *lot*. And it isn't as if the Scotiabank kept its modernist facade intact either which would have been its only saving grace.

This has probably been answered already but who is maintaining this park? Is this a POPS or a city park? Because if the latter, based on my experience, the following will happen in short-order: that condo retaining wall be tagged, as will those green sculptural elements (and probably the...

I can report that the service, food and rooftop bar (Writer's Bar) are all stellar.

I went there when it was the Mill Street bar, was really only good for a couple of quick ones while waiting for the train.

Yeah, this is a bit of a pain and annoying, especially when January/February arrives and I have to put on layers to literally go outside for five seconds to grab booze. But whatever... As for selection, I have actually gotten some very good Sicilian wines at Eataly for less than 30 bucks. This...

Atwood NIMBYs is an apt term...mind you my memory goes back to Margaret MacMillan and the Battle of Varsity Stadium...hell I remember when John Barber, Gare Joyce and that whole drunken Dooney's Globe and Mail crowd denounced the new - c. 1997 - Spadina streetcar as the "strip mining of...

Literally my old elementary and high schools...never would have dreamed of rail transit - for two modes- in that area.
