What was this? A road? A dock? As a youth (late 50's and pre Leslie St. spit) I worked as a lifeguard for the Toronto Harbour Commission. One of the guard towers was on a pier parallel to the eastern gap. The seat looked out into the lake. At the end of the pier was a fog horn which drove the...

It's the Geroge St. Diner, NE cor of Richmond and George

My local library, Parliament and Gerrard seems to be frequented by vagrants and the insane, both seemingly looking for a place to mutter to themselves or defecate.

I've done this for a client. She didn't want concrete especially. She just thought popcorn was dated. Cover the floor, drop the smokes, fixtures etc. and let them hang, mist and spray to moisten the popcorn and scrape. Not hard just boring. I doubt very much if the popcorn removal would affect...

5000K refers to colour not Lumens.

On south side of Queen E between George and Sherbourne there has been no interuption at all.

In my experience City Building Inspectors don't "inspect" in the way you are describing. They are first and foremost interested in Health and Safety items (railings for example) on site. Then they have their hot buttons for sure but what they are really after are the reports and ultimate "sign...

There appears to be a new lintel above the retrail windows which is holding the upper two floors of masonry. The joists probably run parallel to the fallen masonry but I would consider the masonry load bearing.

Of course the farms were there long before the utility corridor. The utility wanted to transmit power from Niagara to TO let's say, decided on a route and offered the farmers money for a Right of Way for their lines. The utility didn't own the property in this case just the right to the space...

There are no buildings under High Tension Lines because the utility owns the corridor and values it for transmission purposes. The Right of Way is zoned greenbelt, has very minimal frontage and living close to the electro magnetic field may have health consequences. A specific bylaw is not needed.

Yes the victorian building a few meters away was not damaged(It is just to the south of the Korman House). What you can't see in the photo is the huge hole just to the left of the Mac truck. They were attempting to lift the CAT out of the hole. The mistake that was apparently made, was the...

The "space" was not given up. It was the front yard/lawn of the houses which is now occupied by the patios.

How many years for Councillor Pam McConnell?

I hope they keep the ground floor reatil. If not it creates an even larger pedestrian "dead zone" around the black hole known as the Fred Victor Centre. Here are some of the variances sought and already approved. "File Number: A0021/10TEY Zoning CR T4.0 C2.0 R4.0 (Waiver) Owner(s): GLASS...

Puzzling isn't it. I took it to mean there was 3 storys of Office Commercial over the retail that was being converted. They probably meant to do it from the outset but couldn't get it through Planning. Where can you find the CofA agenda for Jan 13th?

Automobile Racing Friday nights was stock car racing at the Ex Grandstand. A quarter mile track around the outside of the football field. Brioux number 7 and Kelly number 4. After the races everyone went to the pits to mingle with the cars and racers. I think they brought in Indy Midgets once...

Correct as I recall. When I was in High School my best friend's parents moved from a house at Bloor and Prince Edward to St. James Town. They had two adjoining apartments one for living and one for business. He wrote a Newspaper following mining stocks.

I would like to find out who owns the brownstones on the east side of Jarvis north of Shuter. If this was Mississauga I would go to the clerk's office on the 4th floor and search the electronic database. What can I do in the City of Toronto?

I was surprised to look in the hole with the steel I beam and see concrete. If timbers are placed between the steel to provide shoring how do they remove the concrete or alternately why place concrete that has to be removed?
