True, you didn't say this corner was the "Ugliest"; but you said worst and most disappointing. Sorry for misquoting you. But again, I couldn't disagree more. The Queen's Park Legislature is probably one of the nicest buildings in town. MaRS will look great when it's done. College...

Thanks! :-)

Very true. :-(

I think the city should be allowed to force land owners / speculators to develop a vacant lot or sell it to someone, for the fair price, if someone else is willing to develop that lot. As I said earlier, it's not as if these vacant lots have been in their families since the 1790's; these...

"For a much better building" ? This proposal is just a plain 11 storey condo, not unlike hundreds of others. This could be built anywhere; Mt. Pleasant Road, Merton Street, Scarborough, Markham! The sidewalk is so narrow, the street as well, plus you have that ugly Public Housing project on...

No, they aren't tall. I meant, no one likes tall buildings and development in general, as much as I do! I was just critical of this one project. I like most of the other developments very much.

That's true to a point. But there is a "greater good" concept to consider. The land owner can't build a toxic waste dump or an incinerator just because he owns the lot. This isn't the 19th century. I believe what's in the best interest of the city and the people outweighs the property rights...

Not a Happy Camper I don't like this project. No one likes tall buildings and development as much as I do, but there's a time and place for everything and this is Not the place. That's a nice street and it would be a real shame to destroy it. There are plenty of vacant parking lots on Church...

I like this MaRS development and everything about it. The concept is great and the execution is even better. The old hospital has been restored beautifully and from the rendering, the west wing will look great. This kind of project is exactly what Toronto needs and will benefit greatly by it...

The Hotel Warwick The name of that hotel was the Hotel Warwick! I remember that strip club well. Instead of recorded music, they had a two piece band; a guy on drums and a guy playing the accordion. It was torn down about 1978 / 79.
