Fuelled by architecture, design, transit, Toronto, and too many podcasts. Also: cats, coffee, music, and 2SLGBTQ+ stories. **Opinions are lovingly—but unfortunately—my own** 🇨🇦
Yet through every reinvention and aborted reboot, it remains a vital anchor for central Etobicoke—and for Canada’s densest concentration of seniors, who may just outlast every developer’s grand vision. #CloverdaleMall (3/3)

It was nearly razed for a glossy “lifestyle district,” only for that plan to be shelved, leaving it in a not-quite-liminal, not-quite-finished limbo. #CloverdaleMall (2/3)

Cloverdale’s had quite the identity journey—born an open-air mall, then sealed indoors to chase the trend. #CloverdaleMall (1/3)

Few places have transformed overnight like here. Once transit-quiet, it now has all-day GO, 15-minute UPX trips to downtown and YYZ, and a 15-bay TTC hub — all before Line 5 even opens soon to connect Midtown. The future here looks bright, especially if you own shares in Supercoffee. #MountDennis

Even without Line 5 in service, the area now anchors all-day GO and UP Express service, alongside a 15-bay TTC bus terminal. A true hub for the old City of York—finally getting its moment. #EglintonCrosstown (3/3)

The space is undeniably utilitarian, but it’s clean, modern, and elevated by Douglas Coupland’s vibrant circles and those bold pops of orange — even on the elevator shafts. #EglintonCrosstown (2/3)

Line 5 may still be waiting to open for full revenue service, but parts of its new infrastructure are finally coming to life — including much of the expanded Cedarvale Station (formerly Eglinton West). #EglintonCrosstown (1/3)

A TMU residence is a sensible replacement, I guess—let’s just hope the kids still have somewhere to drink. #ImperialPub (3/3)

Toronto’s not really a blue-collar town, so true dive bars are rare, but the Imperial pulled it off better than anyone. #ImperialPub (2/3)

Well, it’s happened—the end of an 81-year era. It was never my local, but I spent plenty of nights here after a Massey Hall show or a lap through the Eaton Centre. #ImperialPub (1/3)

The back of Network Childcare Services: part Renaissance fresco, part fever dream — all visible from the Ossington bus loop.

Interesting that TuneIn is about to become Canadian. Per Broadcat Dialogue... "Stingray is acquiring the live audio streaming platform for up to USD $175M. TuneIn reaches 75M+ monthly listeners and carries 100,000+ stations ... in 100+ countries." #TuneIn

I get off the streetcar every morning to this view. Whether the sun’s lighting it up or it’s lost in the clouds, it always gives me a tiny boost. #CNTower

An example of how tech overlords “enshittify” things. If 18.5M had tuned in on Citytv’s OTA signal, no hiccups — one-to-many doesn’t degrade. But Wi-Fi and IP streams? The more who join, the worse it gets. #OKBlueJays www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/baseb...
