    Toronto L-Tower | 204.82m | 58s | Cityzen | Daniel Libeskind

    It's already been said a few times, but it worth repeating: the old architecture we love today was likely despised in the 50s/60s/70s. Attitudes towards architectural beauty are constantly evolving. Tearing down our ugly-architecture-de-jour is a big reason why Toronto lost so much. The...

    NYT article on a very bold academic building in NY

    Not to go too far off topic, but I prefer the ROM we got. Not sure how I feel about this particular building... perhaps I need to give it some time to grow on me.

    Forum Changes Coming (Opinions Requested)

    Oh ya, I forgot about this feature. I remember it having quite a viral effect - one member would sit in it for a while, but once a second and a third joined it shot up to usually 6-10+ participants. Good times. My dream for UrbanToronto is to be host to a icon-filled clickable map of...

    is racism common in Toronto?

    I'm curious, how was this discrimination/racist? Did you get the imperssion the deaf tourist told the group something to the effect of "that interracial couple disgusts me", or could the comment have been as benign as "wow, you don't see interracial couples back home." Is the second...

    My friend's band Down with Webster..

    Their music seems to be aimed at the younger generation (e.g., high school/uni crowd, younger than me) but their shows are very entertaining and you can tell these guys have spent a lot of time practicing and refining their sound. I still need to pick up my copy of their latest album...

    Ex-Ontario AG Bryant questioned in death of cyclist

    "The" victim? No doubt we all agree who paid the ultimate price. Are you positive Bryant could not also be a victim? If so, how?

    Ex-Ontario AG Bryant questioned in death of cyclist

    Does anyone else find it strange that the witness reports show Mr. Bryant is a fantastic stunt driver under pressure, as he: is able to drive 90 km/h down a narrow and possibly congested section of road while possibly under attack/threatened by a angry (and likely) drunk full grown man and...

    City Workers Strike 2009

    I get the very very strong feeling (as others have already mentioned) that the union wants arbitration. I doubt they'll even entertain any offer with clauses they don't want (e.g., elimination of the sick bank, raises of less than they're expecting). I can honestly see this strike going for...

    1 Bloor East, DEAD AND BURIED (Bazis, -2s, Varacalli)

    Yes. Edit: Janbe - we get it. You called; the receptionist/sales did not know about the reports in The Star. Fine Everyone else - I deleted a lot of the posts that dealt with Janbe's phone calls/posts. It was too much. If you think you said something really relevant and worth saving...

    Who runs this joint?

    Going by the copyright (and somewhat confirming with memory) stated at the bottom of the forum, UrbanToronto was founded back in 2000. Toronto forumers on sites such as skyscraperpage.com/forum and skyscrapercity.com, needed a home of their own where they could discuss all the various...

    1 Bloor East, DEAD AND BURIED (Bazis, -2s, Varacalli)

    There is a huge difference between an opinion on the fate of one condo project (for which no one will be banned), and being a repetitive, argumentative, child who doesn't raise the discourse of the forum. Right or not, no apology is needed to those who can't muster any respect for the forum...

    How much can the variable rate rise in 5 years? (Variable vs Fixed)

    We locked into a 3.65% 5-year fixed. We with fix because: a) I like to know what my payments are going to be, and not worry about every rate spike over the next 5-years b) There's not a lot more room to go down, as such it seems very very probably the variable rate will rise above my locked-in...
