Speaking of the Edison Hotel, Bravo will be running what looks to be a fascinating documentary on the Yonge St. strip during its 50's/60's heyday, featuring interviews with the likes of Ronnie Hawkins, Robbie Robertson and others. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXbE9VkH3Gw&tracker=False...

I wish I was a cardboard man, living in your cardboard city.

Sure there was. MLSE wouldn't let it happen though.

Agreed. And I had no idea it'd be so close to the sidewalk.

The ROM Crystal. Muahaha...

Exactly. It was a money issue. They claimed it was comfort, but, y'know. What do they care? I do miss it terribly though. It was a wonderful place to watch hockey. My interest waned after the move and now I have very little interest in the team. That runs deeper than the venue, but it's part...

That's a really neat shot!

He didn't say 'fondest' and he didn't mean his memories are OF the McDonalds.

Donny obviously had a lot of sway.

I agree with urbanvillageboy. I have been on the receiving end of one of Adam's 'tutorials', which was incredibly insulting. It's a subject he's passionate about - but not because he's passionate about preservation. No, no. Adam's passionate about insulting people and what better era of...

There was quite a difference between Kitchen Nightmares (even the crappy American version) and Restaurant Makeover. KM never shied away from showing that a restaurant had closed or that the changes, for one reason or another, didn't work. It seemed that RM's main mission was to show itself off...

Judging by how his career is going, one might get a lifetime supply of Pat Mastroianni.

I know what you're saying, but skateboarding and basketball are two different things from a 'parkette perspective'. It's not about it being 'accepted' in society. There's no reason to do anything other than play basketball on a basketball court. I used to skateboard and I've absolutely no...

Sadly, that little concrete and stone parkette looks like a skateboarder's dream.

With a hearty guffaw and a twirl of the moustache, Teperman strikes again!

Ballard's still alive. He's ALIVE! And living in that apartment.

The thing is though, if you go back further, to the beginning and in the few years after it was completed, the effect was generally the same as it is with these new squares. When those tiles were snow white, you wouldn't really notice each one individually, but you would notice the group of 8 in...

I moved to Parkdale in 1997. I'd just dropped out of OCAD and bought a tiny loft at 24 Noble. Even back then, I didn't see much going on. There was certainly a stigma and this was pre-Drake, but I never felt unsafe, even during my late-night runs to the now demolished 7-11. Jameson was (still...

The fact that it's flush and visually uninteresting still irks me, but that signage makes a hell of a lot more sense now. Also, and after years of looking at it, I guess I'd never really paid much attention to the design aspect of the corners. I certainly notice now and I think it'll be a...

Invisible streetcar tracks. How do they do it?
