    G-20 Summit in Toronto

    There was at least one man who was (relatively) seriously hurt at Queen's Park. He was beaten (by police, allegedly) quite badly, and one of his arms was broken. He was on the news this evening. SIU visited him at the hospital.

    Disappearing Subway Maps

    Why can't they just glue or screw the maps in place? Surely the replacement cost each time a new station is added would be less than constantly having to replace them, no?

    Toronto First Canadian Place Rejuvenation | 298.08m | 72s | Brookfield | MdeAS Architects

    I don't know about you guys but I'd still take the slightly green tinted look above the current filthy bathroom tile after a house fire look any day..

    Toronto Humane Society officials arrested, charged with cruelty to animals

    On the bright side, at least it wasn't left in a cage in the ceiling for so long that it completely dried out. What a disgrace.

    Toronto Telus House - 25 York Street | 136.24m | 30s | Menkes | Sweeny &Co

    There was a pretty severe windstorm, I believe in early May, in which glass fell from the tower. I'm not sure if it's the same incident. I only remember this because I was at the corner of York and Bremner when it happened and it was terrifying..

    Toronto Nicholas Residences | ?m | 35s | Urban Capital | Core Architects

    That video is ridiculous. It's a condo building, not the Death Star.

    Toronto CityPlace: Canoe Landing Community Centre & Schools | 15.85m | 3s | City of Toronto | ZAS Architects

    Many people of all economic and social classes abuse the power which they yield. It's a bit strange, in a 12 month period which has seen various levels of government hand out billions upon billions of dollars to attempt to correct what in many instances was the calculated greed of our industrial...

    Toronto CityPlace: Canoe Landing Community Centre & Schools | 15.85m | 3s | City of Toronto | ZAS Architects

    Here's an email from Adam Vaughan regarding this project. It was posted by Gary Pieters on the Cityplace facebook page (hopefully he doesn't mind my reposting of it here). Judging by this email, it would appear that some of the building is, in fact, going to be market-rate: Message from...

    Toronto Canoe Landing Park | ?m | ?s | Concord Adex

    I think this one is my favourite.

    Head of Slips (Waterfront Toronto, West 8/DTAH)

    He hasn't been able to do his work, which is INVENTING BOARD GAMES, because he has a broken leg? Also, this Brian Patterson guy makes it sound like you have to cross the wavedeck to get to the Harbourfront Centre. There are thousands and thousands of things in this city on which you can...

    Toronto CityPlace: Canoe Landing Community Centre & Schools | 15.85m | 3s | City of Toronto | ZAS Architects

    Considering the amount of crime that occurs in Cityplace buildings already (half a dozen shots fired in the parking garage of West One and numerous vehicles stolen from the underground parking in the past 2 months, as well as all sorts of other nefarious activity), the public housing may...

    Time for a tunnel to airport island?

    The real issue is the ongoing TPA vs. City of Toronto feud. There are myriad reasons why these two entities don't get along, going way back to a land transfer from the old Harbour Commission to TEDCO in the 1990's before the creation of the TPA that essentially deprived the Port Authority of...

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

    If I had my way, this is what I'd like to see happen at this corner: - GG maintains the hotel component of this project, whether with Sofitel or another luxury brand. - The new development includes a large retail component, which entices The Bay to become the new lead tenant. They then...

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

    Design competitions are held all the time for private projects.

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

    If the Bazis plan does indeed get scuttled, it would probably be an appropriate time to try and get some public pressure to have a design competition for whatever does eventually get built on this site.
