    Plumber's strike

    Anyone know what these groups' grievances are, generally speaking? Just pay? Or other things? Do these strikes seem mostly 'legitimate', or more opportunistic?

    TTC Customer Service

    Thanks - I'm glad you two said these things before this thread got too idiotic. "this thread is your outlet for your silly hissy fits" So far, Venti, this seems to be your sole purpose in posting on this forum. You are not my Hero.

    Toronto Royal Ontario Museum | ?m | ?s | Daniel Libeskind

    There are SO many, that I've literally never been able to stroll about the temple, and I've been to the Met well over a half-dozen times. It's ridiculous. And yes, the Met is indeed the continent's best museum, and my personal fave in the world. It's what happens when enormous sums of $...

    Toronto Clear Spirit | 131.36m | 40s | Cityscape | a—A

    I blame Stephen Harper. (joking) And Vancouver. (not so much...) Many gags possible here, by I shan't make 'em. Palladio?

    Jane's Walk - Remembering the ideas of Jane Jacobs

    So what? That obviously has no bearing on his own current behaviour. David Frum is Barbara Frum's son - 'nuff said. Completely disagree: Can't say it any better than that. Please explain what exactly is Jacobsian in operation about baseless blanket statements aimed at entire demographics...

    Death of Clubland (aka: Is Adam Vaughan trying to kill the Club District?)

    I know zilch about clubbing, and don't doubt for an instant that this is completely true, but it's beside the point. I've heard it said countless times by many both in TO and from elsewhere that large numbers of people come from far and wide to whoop it up in TO's district. Apparently it's quite...

    "Most NYC drivers oppose mayor's new $8 fee: survey"

    ^ You're right, of course, but just to be clear: I didn't post this to suggest that the fee was a 'bad' idea or something, or that it's doomed because the all-important driver demographic doesn't care for it - quite the opposite. I'd also like to know what the population as a whole thinks about...

    Thread Rating

    Is there a way to see how many people have star-rated a particular thread, and which members awarded which ratings? Can't find anything about this in the FAQ. Thanks in advance.

    Toronto Clear Spirit | 131.36m | 40s | Cityscape | a—A

    Indeed. This is arguably the most interesting project in the entire city at the moment, partially because it seems to me that the result apparently could be wonderful, disastrous, or any point betwixt. Both sides of the fence present equally compelling points, imo - this one's truly...

    Toronto Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Toronto | 203.9m | 52s | Lifetime | a—A

    ^ At the very, very least. The sheer extremity, absolute incessantness and astonishing ubiquity of nearly incomprehensible amounts of every imaginable (and sometimes unimaginable) kind of noise in NY must be experienced personally over time to be understood and believed - and even then, it is...

    Mtl/TDot Food Fight

    ^ Not a TO/Mtl thang, so it's 'safe', I suppose... There was one place in NY that was at least as good as Schwartz's: Second Avenue Deli. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2nd_Avenue_Deli The pastrami there was indescribably fabulous, the best thing of its kind I've ever eaten - one o'...

    Jane's Walk - Remembering the ideas of Jane Jacobs

    Because he's an ass, and hardly operates in the spirit of Jacobs: http://www.urbantoronto.ca/showthread.php?t=5249 There have got to be literally hundreds of people in TO more worthy of the task.
