This was discussed in the "Lost in Toronto Colour" thread about the lighting at the top of the Simpsons Tower. I spoke to the building manager, and she informed me that the building owners (Ivanhoe Cambridge) decided that for energy saving purposes (environmental), they've decided to turn off...

And CTVgm quickly responds by yanking CityNews at 6 and 11 off of CP24.

I attended the second public workshop for the Yonge Subway Extension to Richmond Hill Centre last night, where they presented a draft recommendation for the extension. HIGHLIGHTS: -6 Stations (Cummer/Drewry; Steeles; Clark; Royal Orchard; Bunker; Richmond Hill Centre) -Alignment runs under...

This is kind of outrageous. The cost of sending a text message should already include the cost for the receiving of the message. That means you could be charged from spam or someone incorrectly putting in a number. Rogers already screwed us over for iPhone, and now Telus and Bell do this. More...

No one's mentioned it yet, but the TTC has started putting up updated versions of the subway map on its cars... and it's ridiculous. They've changed the font identifying the stations from faux-Helvetica/Arial (the Swis721 that Joe Clark speaks of) to a condensed, bolded look-alike. They've...

I thought I'd start a thread here for any interesting or mind boggling photos of the subway from the Toronto Archives online... I found these two... they seem to be two alternatives for the subway to cross a valley and an expressway... but it's NOT the DVP... I'm trying to figure out where it...
