How enterprising. Is this a product of our local immigrant culture, or is it common to other cities?

26 May 2012: Word on the street there's a shortage of glass in Toronto. Whatever will we do?

I love the pattern on this building.

The crane is about to come down as the jib crane is set up to do it now.

What a great addition.

What a great building. What are they building in front of it (i.e. on the Bathurst side)?

Library District Condos.

Library District Condos.

Thanks. Looks like we better enjoy the TCHC facade while we can.

I've seen more tinfoil up in condo units' windows (perhaps with students, but perhaps not, who knows) than in low-cost housing units.

Really? You've been keeping statistics anticipating this discussion?

I'm certain you are right. Much, much more foil and bedsheets in condo windows than subsidized.

They really should make a tunnel or some sort of pedestrian crossing under Bathurst to get from Mouth of the Creek Park to Fort York, else there will be a lot of attempted jaywalking..

 

[Peepers]

Why do people put tinfoil on their windows? Who are these people? This is a form of cultural expression I'm not familiar with, and it sounds rather jolly.

Sounds jolly? Sounds more low-class to me!

TCHC should have rules forbidding tenants from putting up tin-foil in their windows (I suspect most condo boards forbid this).

1 Yonge has a few units with tin foil in the windows... just saying. Im sure this building will have guidelines like any other building. Do you see tin foil in any of the new Regent Park units? How about the project that went up on Richmond Street?

There currently is access under the viaduct from the Fort York side. But building park land down there is a bit of a challenge. It would mean moving some homeless people at very least.
