This isn't a park, it's an ornamental doo-dad. Why on earth would anybody ever go to this thing? It takes all of 2 minutes to look at the bird bath, walk the paths to nowhere, then tell the doorman "I think there's a problem with the sewer over by that ugly gray wall. Oh and I think your...

50 shades of.. Incredible how you got everyone in the park to wave at you!

I so hope that the third-world looking, bent, rusted, wire-filled heritage poles are retained. They will surely compliment the forthcoming glue-job facadectomy that poses as heritage preservation.

This building may be ugly, it may be cheap-looking. It may be poorly constructed and meet the street like a Borg cube descended from hell. It may suffer from crappy big box retail at podium level and an incredibly embarrassing basement area. But let us never forget: when it's finished, THIS WILL...

Nor this awe-inspiring ode to olde timeyness. A real Winner!

That's a pretty happening scene down there lol. Sorry I missed it!

The Jays swept San Francisco!

The poor little Flatiron building is completely lost next to this massive spandrel-clad blob. What was once a nicely-scaled Victorian streetscape is now dominated by this gigantic grey mess. Way to go!

The Ryugyong Hotel has a similar effect on the citizens of Pyongyang. Maybe Spanderel was also responsible for that P.O.S.

Holy hyperbole Batman, get the Bat-oxygen! "Breathless"? Only if glass were to fall off and hit me.

Parks & Rec has a $300 million state of good repair deficit. Every new park simply adds to the list of poorly-maintained parks.

Like Dundas Square? That was a sponsored event (obviously) but they do have a walk-up bar and food the rest of the time. But you're right, who wants to have a drink and dance - in public even?! That's just crazy and will lead to no good!!

Maybe that's why the TTC is such a basket case. Running empty trains a 6 minute intervals on the stubway to nowhere doesn't seem like a wise allocation of limited funds.

This could really use bar and food service like the one in Montreal. The surroundings are such a grim wasteland of nothingness. http://vimeo.com/44577339

On weekdays, the Metro runs from every 3 minutes to 10 minutes on the orange and green lines and 4 to 11 minutes on the yellow and blue. Weekends are from 5 to 11 minutes. http://www.stm.info/English/metro/a-frequence.htm#green There's no point running for a TTC train anywhere near rush...

Does it really matter what happens in this shite square? It has to be one of the tackiest, ugliest, most contrived urban spaces anywhere in the world. It's so bloody depressing that nothing can really make it any better or worse.

I'm being realistic. Have you, or anybody that you know ever talked about or even acknowledged the existence of the Pan Am games before Toronto 'won' the bid? Nobody gives a shit about this sideshow - especially in North America. It will attract practically zero television revenue, and that's...

This is the future of CityPlace, Liberty Village, and 90% of everything that has been built in the last 10 years. Cheap-shit, building boom crap in a city that has sold its soul to fast-buck developers.

Good god, how many more of these cheap-shit investorboxes are going to go up before somebody - anybody - says "Enough!" Biggest construction boom ever yet 90% of everything built has been pure garbage. Sad state of affairs.

Those mascots are almost as bad as the logo! Not that anybody will be watching the Pan Am games anyway.. I suspect these nothing games will generate about as much interest as the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLAjLHc8vh8
