Flying into Pearson early yesterday evening across the north end of the city, First Canadian Place was the most prominent tall structure seen in the downtown core after the CN Tower - mostly because of the lighting conditions of the moment. More than anything else, though, I was aware of how the cluster of downtown towers have clumped together, visually, with each new addition over the years to form a unit - and the TD Centre has now almost completely disappeared from view when seen from that perspective. The vastness of the low-rise residential neighbourhoods ( not just in the suburbs ), contrasted with the towers downtown and along the subway lines, always startles me - and seems to be becoming more pronounced.
