^ Mmmm I want some roti now!

There are tons of good vegetarian (and vegan) restaurants in Toronto. http://www.happycow.net/north_america/canada/ontario/toronto/

Before Aura went up, there was nothing there but a parking lot. I'd say that the retail that is there now is certainly more interesting than an empty lot.

Can't wait to see the new big screen! It looks to me like the round ad will remain on the North side?

RBC Centre is over 40 storeys, too.

A lot of the things you said here are way off the mark or just plain incorrect. There are tons of restaurants and interesting businesses along downtown Yonge, the street is constantly packed with pedestrians and activity, and there is a busy bus route that runs along the street in addition to...

Perhaps Nordstrom will take over the space.

He appeared to refer to the Royal York as "something Mussolini would live in". They also included the Royal Bank Plaza in a shot while he was describing how unattractive the city was.

I think he went a little overboard with his criticisms of Toronto as "not a good looking city". Why he picked on Toronto in this aspect and said nothing similar about other cities that are no more attractive than Toronto seems like he was just repeating what other people (from Montreal or...

Yeah, but where is Chicago's Kensington market? Queen St. West? Distillery District? Even a crazy sideshow of an intersection like Yonge and Dundas has nothing comparable in Chicago.

^ It's well known that downtown Chicago is an antiseptic showpiece.

Went to the new Corktown Commons park today to snap some skyline pics.

The Hotel Waverly recently played itself on an episode of the awesome sci-fi show Orphan Black. The crazy clone Helena was living there.

The Scarborough block party shooting and before that the Eaton Centre shooting.

Rosedale is a neighbourhood, not a suburb.

Lots of cities use downtown/midtown/uptown, such as Atlanta, St. Louis, even Detroit. No one accuses them of trying to copy NYC.

Bleu, even with all those neighbourhoods of mere houses, the old 37 sq. mi. city of Toronto has a density of 20,000 people per sq. mile. That's more dense than any city proper in the U.S. and Canada save NYC. The current 240 sq. mi. city of Toronto has a density of 11,630 people per sq. mile...
