The Tenor (10 Dundas St E, Ent Prop Trust, 10s, Baldwin & Franklin)

I have a feeling that "Yonge-Dundas Square" is a bit of a placeholder of a title and that the square will eventually be named after somebody (Trudeau? Jacobs? Crombie? Me?) and the powers that be anticipate a name change eventually.

What about Laura Secord Square? It works commercially .

Actually, maybe it would be fitting for the city to sell the naming rights to the square (Magna? RIM? Yahoo!? Toronto Life?).

I think it would be more appropriate to rename a park in the village RIM Park.
*ba-zing*

oh wait, there's already a park in Waterloo with that name.

I still think "Skydome"'s commonly used--"Dome" is too generic in and of itself to be an exclusive/dominant casual naming mode.

And I agree that whatever incarnation of "Toronto Life Square" won't carry through into, well, "district branding"--but it doesn't mean it won't be used to brand the *building*. (And I don't think of "Toronto Life Square" as any less cumbersome as "Atrium On Bay", which *is* still casually referred to "Atrium On Bay"--though just plain Atrium, like just plain Dome, is acceptable-if-generic shorthand...)

Scotiabank Theatre = Paramouont Cinema only
RioCan Hall = Festival Hall

I try to call Rogers Centre that too, but get a few blank faces sometimes.

I have a feeling AMC might still call their cinemas Metropolis. I don't see AMC Toronto Life Square in the cards for some reason.

here's a pic of the Emirates ad being installed, found on an aviation forum.....

Wasn't there a press release or something that said the "remote control" would be aimed at the new screen?

 

[caltrane74]

actually that ad is not half bad.

It is Kyle Rae Square.

Looks like another sign is bing added today, but this time on the east side (ie. the nose).

The square needs a webcam. Maybe City will have one.

Today's Daily Dose of Imagery is a nice night shot of the square: http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/07/10/27/

So the put the signs that I saw them bring to the building last Sunday, what they did last sunday, they stored all the signs on the roof and the yesterday it seems they installed them, kinda strange but it looks pretty good so far. I don't have the time to go take pics today.

Thanks for the update Paul, no matter what it meant.

Well, that's a disappointment. I had envisioned something like a gigantic suspended paper-maché remote control actually AIMED at the TLS screen.

 

[yyzer]

from the website....also, the north-facing sign is now illuminated....

 

[SP!RE]

Let's hope those signs are all being installed properly so that they don't fall down. AHHH cuz suddenly I thought about that possibility and shuddered at the results. But thank God it's unlikely.

(I'm having a paranoid day.)
