The results of a few walking tours between Wednesday and Saturday. I wonder if someday photos like these will be of interest to the next generation of urbanites, or whether my putative children will one day discover a hard drive full of nondescript construction photos, and wonder what the hell was wrong with their father?
Probably both.
Murano: big giant hole
Tucked into a corner: where Lanterra signboards go to die:
RoCP I:
RoCP II:
Temptation:
This is about a month old, but I still love it (and it was kicking about the photobucket account)
One City Hall, not looking any more finished:
The building that you love to hate, and I love to love, looking markedly more finished:
Awning going up along the Bay St. face:
I didn't have the energy to nip over to Dundas Square. I looked down the road, and there appeared blue hoarding around a construction site. Anyone know anything?
At the Opera House, it was part 2 of the 434-part opening gala: better know an opera house. Signage up along the back:
But still some missing details, like the billboards along the side:
...and, uh, the fact that the front was all dug up:
Still an improvement:
Down by the CBC, a great big sign is up for the RBC tower. It's a very nice render, with the CBC building in it and the Intercontinental tucked behind and everything. But there seems to be something missing from the render's background... but I can't quite pin down what it might be.
The next day, at the corner of Davenport and Yonge, we peer into the big giant pit of... what's it called again? Lotus? Locust? Locutus?
The Regency:
The Hazelton, looking like a large layer cake:
Pile drivers on the site of this development down the road, promising an end to another parking lot:
ROM:
Couldn't get enough of the cranes:
Today, view from behind:
One St. Thomas, as seen from back campus:
That'll do for today.
Probably both.
