Odd how most chains are started by an individual and are admired then get bigger and expand and are then despised. They are just businesses that have expanded.....sometimes hugely.
If you mean the pharmacy on King at Trinity, it's primarily a methadone dispensary.There is an actual pharmacy in the neighbourhood on King, but it's small and doesn't carry a lot of over the counter stuff.
I am presuming that in the long term these shortcomings will be corrected when more buildings with more retail spaces go in.
Nope, there is one on King near River that is just a commercial pharmacy.If you mean the pharmacy on King at Trinity, it's primarily a methadone dispensary.
The Dream/Kilmer/Tricon lands are five development sites in the West Don Lands totalling nine acres, surrounding the intersection of Cherry and Mill Streets in the downtown east district. The lands are close to the Distillery District, Canary District and Waterfront Toronto’s Quayside, as well as Google‘s 13-acre Sidewalk Labs proposed Sidewalk Toronto neighbourhood.
The development is to be built in stages and include approximately 1,500 purpose-built residential units, up to 75,000 square feet of retail amenity space, and possible future office building. The first phase will feature approximately 750 rental units and 26,000 square feet of retail which is zoned and approved by the City of Toronto.
The partnership hopes to begin construction during Q2 of 2019 with initial residential occupancy targeted for 2021.
The project will be designed to achieve LEED Gold certification for sustainability.
Well, if you read the linked article it says "The projects also incorporate retail and possibly office space." so you may have heard this. Is it true? Who knows; the government funding is for affordable housing. https://news.ontario.ca/mho/en/2018/04/ontario-creating-more-rental-housing-in-toronto.htmlDid I hear office space might be in the mix?
They probably caught something horrible. I suspect @Northern Light -san will help fill in the details about that though.
Not sure what they are doing with trees along north side of Front Street, immediately east of Cherry. They seemed pretty healthy this summer...

Yes, these and many other trees on the Pan-Am Pathway (with trees from or dedicated to all participating countries) have been dead for years. I too have sent in many complaints and it is a hopeful they may actually be fixing them. It is very poor that 'dedicated trees' can sit as stumps for 5+ years!These trees have been dead for 3+ years, from natural causes.
The City is replacing them, along with a few other trees along Front Street East that have been topped and left derelict.
This is a victory in my ongoing campaign of terror against Parks, Forestry, and Recreation. I have been e-mailing them for 1.5 years about it. You should see the chain.
