With all of the surrounding the demolition of the derelict hangars and control tower at Toronto’s former , we thought a final visit to the site was appropriate.
Coming around the south end of the property, we were amazed to see the haste of its demise, with an entire side to the building now missing. The open space inside the two main hangars is astounding. Perhaps it’s the way in which such vast emptiness hints at what it once contained that left us in awe of the .

If you’ve driven or walked along Richmond Street East lately, you’ve probably noticed it: a strange grey and white cube. The building looks like it has been plonked here from Europe, or perhaps, .
The building is the , and it’s one of the first purpose built co-operatives to be added to the city in years. It was originally planned to be standard low-income housing for 59 residents from Regent Park who were having their home demolished in the , with an additional 26 units for other people who needed affordable rental housing. However, city councillor encouraged the city to make it a co-operative.

What’s happening in the Toronto Asian escorts (and sometimes beyond):
The Fallsview Casino might brand itself as the place to be but it sure wouldn’t have been for an Italian pop star set to perform this weekend if the cops hadn’t on charges he attempted to hire a hit man to knock him off. Infidelity! Hit Men! Gambling! Italians! Sounds like a screenplay for the next Guy Ritchie film. Or maybe the next scandal in the Toronto municipal elections.
. Construction will start this Spring on the Thackeray Park cricket pitch, only the second in the city. Local community members and organizations have helped with financing efforts for the project that will be situated on 3.7 acres of land donated by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. The city is contributing 0,000 for the first phase and it’s expected it could be open for play by the end of the summer.
Suburban pot farming is just one of the interesting notes on the resume of Ward 27 city council aspirant Ken Chan. The ex George Smitherman aid also happens to be a who’s been living in London for the past two years. He’s one of 10 registered candidates in Toronto Centre Rosedale, the riding that’s shaping up as one of the more colourful races this election season.

A major, 20-year, 0-million project proposal will see the Lawrence Heights area heavily revitalized. The plan calls form the tearing down of community housing and replacing it with mixed income, new market valued condominiums; redoing the shopping mall; building new schools, and more. It appears that the (loved and loathed) Allen Road will be mostly spared – by building additional bridges over it (a strategy that Howard Moscoe likens to heart surgery when he says the expressway “requires a triple bypass.”).
NDP leader Jack Layton’s son, Mike Layton, is poised to run for city council in the Trinity-Spadina ward (the seat being given up by Joe Pantalone, who is running for mayor). At this point, little is known about Mike Layton, other than that he is deputy outreach director for Environmental Defence Canada and he doesn’t sport a mustache.
Does including a statement (that reveals that her editorial is a paid political piece) make it acceptable for mayoral candidate Sarah Thomson to put herself on the front cover of her own magazine, declaring herself mayor of Toronto? Shouldn’t the fact that “it was very bizarre to pay for [her] own editorial, that [she was] being paid to write,” be reason enough not to proceed? Does Toronto have its very own Sarah Palin, folks?

As I’ve mentioned , I’m often struck by profound nostalgia for the Toronto of the 1970s and 80s. Without getting overly self-analytical, this is no doubt a manifestation of my (false) belief that things must have been easier or better when I was a youngster. Despite my efforts to remain critically vigilant against the seduction of nostalgia, I often cave in and indulge the desire to go “home” again.
Sometimes an episode of Degrassi Junior High or early Street Legal will do it. But, being a lover of photography, it’s old images of the city that really drive my crank.

The chair of the city’s recreation program is likely dealing with a flurry of emotional emails from Christie Pits community members who want nothing more than to continue enjoying their park together on Friday nights. Community “pizza nights,” employing an oven made by the hands of volunteers, have been deemed to be irregular recreation activity, and due to a city crackdown on such rogue events, the group has been told that it needs to get a permit every Friday and pay city recreation staff to work the oven. Something is truly wrong with our system if community spirit driven by honest volunteerism is killed by overzealous rules and unmanageable costs.
When gas, cable, and water utility companies are forced to dig up city streets to do work, the city foots the bill (about million annually). But a proposed new fee aims to partially mitigate those costs by putting a portion of those costs (about million annually) into the bank books of the companies doing the cutting. I wonder if Rogers will aim to mitigate the new costs they’d incur by increasing their service fees.
It was a very slim margin, but the majority rules. After a careful tally, it’s been confirmed that Ontario college staff have accepted the colleges’ final contract offer. A labour strike has been averted, which means the 200,000 students who have been waiting for weeks to learn the fate of their school year can now breathe a huge sigh of relief.
