According to this report on Fox News (skip to 0:32), the coffee market in the US is worth $10 Billion per year (which works out to about $27 million per day), with 400 million cups per day. I don't know where they got their numbers, but that works out to an average price of 6 cents per cup...

In honour of these results, Canada should start a new tourism campaign: "Canada, sadder than Denmark" ;)

If you are talking about the parking lot at Elm, a new building to house researchers for Sick Kids is going to be built there. The EnWave building is staying though, to heat/cool the buildings in the neighborhood.

Actually, after going to the Seattle streetcar website (click on "Depot Sponsorship"), I'm not sure we would want all of the same features:

There were workers back in the pit today, and the crane was moving again. The temporary fencing around the area where the fire was has been removed, so it looks like everything is running again. There is still a faint charred smell when you pass by, though!

Lumiere on Fire I didn't catch a picture of it going, but I live next door to the site, and the construction office caught on fire tonight! Probably the most exciting thing that's happened on this street in awhile, but it doesn't seem to have affected the site itself much. It'll probably be...

Sorry, I knew that was phrased imprecisely, I was trying not to go off on a tangent. I left it in in my haste to post the rest of that message. Please do not let that side-note derail the discussion!

With around 40-50% foreign born population (depending on your source) the fact that our foreign born population is not dominated by a single ethnic group (such as Latin Americans in Miami, and Indians in Dubai) a (relatively) thriving metropolis that isn't racked by violent protests (while the...

While there are characters for common words, sometimes characters are chained together and used for phonetic purposes, especially when coming up with ways for writing non-Chinese words (like the street names in Chinatown). What can be confusing is that different dialects will pronounce...

It's not like new cranes are needed anywhere else... Seriously though, perhaps someone managing this project is actively lobbying the federal government for some cash. You don't get more "shovel-ready" then two cranes on the scene. I believe there was a Star article recently arguing this idea.

One useful tool to see if you are getting a good deal if you are renting is Rentometer. It won't tell you if the neighborhood is nice, but if you're looking in a specific area, it will show you similar listings in the immediate vicinity.

The College Park Metro is always ridiculously busy outside of middle-of-the-night hours, and they consistently have trouble stocking items. I can only imagine it getting worse with the new condos opening up (Murano, Lumiere). I was personally hoping for the Loblaws to open in the Maple Leaf...

Since this thread is going Toronto-Centric, I'm going to suggest Final Fantasy's "This is the Dream of Win and Regine", mainly because I can't get it out of my head after hearing it in "Toronto Stories" this past weekend.

I went to the public meeting last night at the St. Lawrence Hall, and the various materials have been posted online. Of particular note are the main display panels and the handouts. It was quite a big turnout, around 75 people. It seemed like a lot of the people in attendance were there to...

This bit triggered my memory back to when I was reading Richard Florida's book, "Who's Your City". His research leads him to believe that Ontario and Quebec, along with the US just across the border, are part of a large "Mega Region", as measured by economic output. There is a map of all such...

I went by there today and there was activity on the site (a couple of workers, cranes moving...) I didn't look close enough or long enough to find out if they are just taking things down or not, but there are definitely people there.

It was called "TD Bank". You can dig up some historical pictures on their corporate site:

What about North by North East?
