I like what they're going for with the integration, even if they are just slapping a building on top. But I think the tower can use a bit more work. Also, not a fan of how much space it appears to take up along King St.

It does allow for it to be approved, but as has been said before it sets a precedence the city isn't likely to want to set. They were quite hesitant to set a precedence with Festival Tower (and for good reason IMO - look at the neighbours adjacent to it that wouldn't have happened without...

That would be Theatre Park.

I have hopes that the blinds will have a significant positive impact on the overall look, but I don't see the blinds you're referring to in the picture you posted.

I like the idea of the tops of the Ice buildings, but am I the only one that doesn't like the way it's looking so far?

I know this is going back a few pages, but I take exception. Freedom of speech is great. This billboard is in the wrong due to the fact that it is a political statement being made by an organized religion which receives tax exemptions. Are they not required by law not to make...

I'm getting married at City Hall tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully the media circus isn't too crazy down there by then. As for this ^ No!!! It'll have to wait until I'm back from my honeymoon so that my-soon-to-be-wife and I can attend! :)

I want to like it but I just can't. The balconies need to go and the triangular extrusions are a mess. I get what they were going for with the (horizontally) alternating in-and-outs but it's a design fail in my opinion. Also, what's with the complete lack of relation to the base/podium? I'll...

Somebody get those people some Subway sandwiches stat!

And that's 2006 census data. I imagine those deep blue areas (12k and over) have grown since then.

Agreed, but it doesn't have to be an overly expensive subway which serves less than the LRTs that were already proposed and funded. And I say this also having grown up in Malvern (east of Malvern Mall), where almost my entire family lives. They all would have been much better served with the...

Great picture, hawk. It really emphasizes the size difference between what's being built and what the street has looked like for about a century before that. Both in terms of lot sizes and of course height.

Yeah, that's a lot of spandrel but you've captured it so beautifully!

Point taken. And we're not on opposing sides of this. However which specific arts programs has Ford cut?

So he has to like those other things, or all arts, in order to be considered a patron of the arts?

I don't know. I wouldn't want to bring rubber bullets to a gun fight. While this particular situation may have allowed time for an officer to switch to something with rubber bullets, that's not always the case. I'd also be curious to see the stats on just how many times in an average year...

^ I'll admit to scrolling past all his/her messages as well. Further to that, I think there's something to be said about quality over quantity. 240 posts in less than a month is probably overkill. I don't want to simply put the user into Ignore however.

On this subject, I was in Tokyo for a few weeks up until last. There was an Australian at the hotel that my girlfriend and I had drinks with one night. He didn't know Rob Ford by name or anything, but when I mentioned the crack scandal he perked up and said that he had heard about it. The...

This nearly made me spit my food out in laughter. Thanks! Too funny. :)

Hah, that was a great press conference :)
