I tried to find contact info for Mizrahi Developments but couldn't. I had an idea. I would assume that this development would have to have retail. It would be great if they just "turned it inside out". Use the Art Deco carved stone walls on the interior public realm (if there is a retail...

I had to go there last week for an MRI on my neck...you go to the hospital in the Trillium Network that has a machine available. My second time having to go there. You walk in from the back entrance as University Ave is usually locked after 10 and they do MRI's around the clock. When you walk...

Lol,I perceived it differently after reading what Big Daddy said about it looking like two people meeting and Toronto meaning Meeting Place. I saw the one on the right being female with a bustle skirt in the back (period dress for the time when Toronto was founded) and the tower on the left is...

For those in my community and of my age group....I forgot to mention....the 1am drag show at the Club Manatee...running by Katrina's disco to grab a slice of great pie and a coffee at the Cafe New Orleans....the damn ceiling fans and paned windows would be, in my imagination, the closest I'd get...

Hi I'm glad I brought up the Yonge Street Parade of yesteryear. I've read some really great responses/opinions. One comment I would make, I had mostly young friends and a few older ones. The young ones, such as myself at the time, were lucky if we earned 9 or 10 grand a year before taxes. We...

I hope someone can answer this question that has been in my mind for a while now. When I was in my teens, early 20's...so 1979 to early 80's....I remember being with friends driving up and down Yonge Street on a Friday or Saturday night along with the masses. It was everyone cruising north and...

Hi Ed Thanks for that info. Glad to hear he's okay! When you run into him again, tell him we miss him and his contributions.

Just a quick question to anyone who might know. I used to thoroughly enjoy the observations and comments of Urban Shocker. Met him once at a get together of UT. Very nice and informative person. Does anyone know what happened to him? I really miss his posts.

Ford Disloc(N)ation needs to get off the crack pipe as well! They need to find their homes with their beds....and sleep on it.

Like it or not....Gay Pride Week is a huge money maker for this city. It is one of the biggest Pride Celebrations on the planet. Next year is WORLD Pride... And Toronto was selected to host it. Remember not only Rob's lies about inhaling smoke on the video he claimed never existed....he also...

With or without all the stuff Ford seems to have involved himself with, there's one thing that should be noted. Quite simply, he seems to have LIED to his employers (citizens of Toronto). Not sure about all of you, but if I lied to my employer....grounds for dismissal if caught. What's the...

As he imbibed more alcohol and consumed more artery clogging food, he liked the city a lot. Architecture is a personal taste for many...either you like it or you don't. Anyone who wants to visit a city to see its skyline isn't going to listen to a chef. I can count on one hand the number of...

I have to admit...the architect was very knowledgable...I spoke to him at the end of the meeting up front. I simply said that the area has a long history and knows how to be suburban...please ensure you can teach it to be urban.

Hi Interchange Yes I did get up towards the end...I was at the back of the church....I talked about how the area is a bit of an isolated enclave that I understood the developers were looking to include the area, in what had otherwise been, part of the urban fabric. I suggested that urbanity...

Hi Interchange I am attending this meeting as well.

I am of two minds on this one. I was at the first GAY Pride when it began....it was a group of under a thousand having a picnic at the Grange Park, discussing the anti-gay society we lived in and the issues we had to address. I have attended many since then, but very few after that. None as...

I wish that we could have somehow had a person who, in the not so distant past, had a sense of the future. I see all of these wonderful (yet gritty/dirty) architectural treasures. If only someone had existed and said, back when, "you'll rue the days you'll never have nor see these types of...

I have to say...looking at all of the "before" pics....I'm pining for the lost older style neon signage on framework and the stylized font on (what I think is ...correct me if I'm wrong) bakelite background....I wish we still had more of that left. It is sad to think that the signage from 80 to...

uhhh....I don't remember ANYTHING! Good times!

Thank you for that, Kamuix. I have to say...I love a good discussion...even a respectful argument....but I agree with what you have said. The idea of a poll is to post why you voted the way you did. I voted the way I did and offered up my thoughts on having lived long enough to have become a...
