^Today, 2:05 PM:

I didn't go to that Tim Horton's--but noticed their new signage is very bright red. Effective?

 

[Redroom Studios]

Toronto Living Redefined - ummm, maybe. Toronto skyline redefined - for sure!

I'm hoping to make my first trip of 2008 into the city on Sunday, camera in hand.

Shangri-La Toronto groundbreaking photographed by UrbanDB - Toronto Real-Estate Database.

Making sure valet parking is ready for the crowd.

Fair sized crowd.

Everybody gets a gold helmet but the shovels weren't for general distribution.

Speeches with a backhoe digging away in the background.

Official photo-op.

Congratulations all around.

Workers playing in a very dirty trench.

Workers trying to figure out how to accomplish something very quietly so as not to disturb the ceremony.

 

[urbandreamer]

Bizarre! What a freaky looking audience. Where do these people come from? (One of the girls is kinda cute though

 

[marcus_a_j]

Haha, I am just to the right of that first image of the valets (I was also wearing a red jacket)

Some of my shots I took

Has occupancy been updated, surely can't be 2010 anymore.

I love this project. Great design, quick sales, construction. Bang, bang, bang. It made Trump look silly with his endless delays and intrigue.
