Blows me away that they went ahead without the final approval. What an oversight! Sounds like mismanagement all over the place. How did the CRTC only now catch this and take them off the air? Who...

I'd love to attend, but am unable to do so. If anyone's going, could they take some pics?

Empire is owned by another company, so recently renovated or not, it could still close if it loses too many customers to the competitor.

I chatted with an owner of a store in the Conestoga mall who claims to be familiar with the situation at Fairview. He said that Fairview Mall was getting rid of all their kiosks in an attempt to...

I wish they would have got it right the first time... It has only been what, 5 years since the last expansion?

With papers that don't have real competition on local stories, I've noticed that sometimes papers delay posting their major local stories online so that people will pick up the hard copies.

I feel embarrassed to admit this but, I don't have the attention span to watch this entire thing. I don't want to spend 10 minutes to watch a video about roundabouts.

I think this video is a bit...

I know that there are a few posters who don't like this project, but after going through some of the latest updates about the buildings on King and Lester that are under construction, this thing...

I've been meaning to bring this up too. I had a pretty crappy experience driving it a couple weeks ago during a torrential downpour. I had to guess at where the lanes were. For some reason, the...

I don't think the website is necessarily going to get any better. The site is the corporate (for lack of a better term) restaurant website. It isn't exclusive to Kitchener so presumably it has been...

Sorry about any confusion. I was referring to the by-election. If I recall correctly, McGuinty has to call a by-election for the riding to go to the polls.

Define permanent? When I was in school for the first few years I'd spend 8 months at school and 4 in another city... how does spending 1/3 of a year make that my permanent residence? :RpS_razz: I...

What it shows is that the student building blight is beginning to encroach upon Uptown :RpS_mad:.

I don't want to come across as an Uptown snob, I'm all for changing the Uptown skyline - if it is...

It is such a shame. Prefer these things in Northdale. At least King Street north of University has already been lost. It isn't too late to save King St between Brideport and Bricker but this project...

I worked in a census office during the 2006 census so I might be able to provide some insight. StatsCan wouldn't ignore students. Most of the census work is typically done in the summer when students...

Hey guys.

I hope you can point me in the right direction. The hard drive on my work laptop failed.

Our IT consultant tried to back up the drive before it went completely kaput but the data was...

One thing that retailers really like about their own entrance is that they can set their own hours and not be forced to work within the parameters of mall hours. If it is true that Shoppers doesn't...

Awesome. Nice to see our public broadcaster step up to the plate and preserve some CanCon!

The buildings may arguably be reducing traffic demand in the direction of WLU, but it will create other congestion problems. None of these buildings are mix-use. Where are the job opportunities?...

They are neat, but you are paying for space that is hardly practical.

I wonder if they are having trouble selling the last of the units (the least desirable ones left?).

First they upped the free upgrades from $2500 to $5000 and now this offer. I feel bad for...

Someone mind helping me figure out the orientation of the map? Might help if you could give me a landmark or two to contextualize things :RpS_biggrin:

Looks to me like this might be a good opportunity for like-minded WWers to get together and have our voice heard. Strength in numbers! :RpS_biggrin:

Even before Benjamin did some hypothesizing, I thought to myself 'definitely not a local'. Anyone from around town would have known (or should have known) this.

Just another thing that makes...

Is it any surprise that this post links back a City Centre website?

The blog post about the Bauer Kitchen on the City Centre website even alludes to the Bauer Kitchen's relatively close proximity...

I stopped in on Saturday during the private opening for registrants. All but one of the units that were up for sale facing the river were gone. The last unit left was one that was on the corner...

I was really close to purchasing (before my wife had reservations) and I also heard that approximately 25% have sold. The unit style that i was interested in (the '06') is all sold out. Because the...

Who determines the Uptown boundaries? Is it the city council or the Uptown Waterloo BIA? I`d like to know the BIA`s opinion on this discussion. Would they like to expand the area or would they...

Who determines the boundaries of Uptown? Does the BIA have input? I wonder what the position of the Uptown BIA would be on this.

Did anyone check out the VIP sessions? I sent them multiple emails, but I have yet to hear back from them. I'd love to know how things looked :RpS_confused:.

Doesn't look like this is being executed too well. I sent a reply shortly after receiving the email. I haven't heard back from them for tomorrow.:RpS_confused:

It is nice to see that the trees have more than a foot-by-foot hole of open ground around them. You can't expect a tree to survive when there's brick or concrete right up to the trunk! I notice that...

Wow, it has come a long way since Doors Open 2010. I hope they are involved in this year's Doors Open. I'd love to see the progress on the interior!

Re: the very last photo

Nice to see they have taken the Accessibility for Ontarians Disability Act to heart. That's how you build an accessible front desk.

It blows my mind that there isn't any attempt to develop something for the RIM & high tech workers in that area. Such a missed opportunity. As a commuter, I'd pay handsomely to be able to walk to...

The problem with the WCR is that the prices they have created precludes them from ever being a mass transportation option. At $15 per person, they won't get anyone other than tourists and people...

This is all very disappointed to hear. I'm equally disappointed that the small car lot wasn't combined with these lots. Won't be able to do much development-wise with the car lot now.

A friend of mine worked at BB and he's my source of information. I can't speak to all products in all areas, but I know that it has atleast been the case in TVs and other electronics where there's a...

The price matching is a travesty. It is a creates a false sense of industry competition. On many items, the product numbers or versions are actually different. Quite often, as I've found, when you...

It would be fantastic if they could combine the school and its parking lot (beside Northdale campus) with the adjacent Northdale 'campus' building. There may yet be hope for that neighbourhood!

I feel really strange about 328 coming down. The unit on the first floor, front right hand corner (looking from the street was the first place my future wife and I ever lived together in. Won't miss...

I'd love to go. Any chance that tickets would still be available at the box office before game time? :RpS_confused:

And I'm sure these buildings will share the same egg-shell and off-grey colours that all of Drewlo's buildings seem to have. As a resident of the Wilson towers, I like where I live, but I can't stand...

It blows my mind how the city can't see that bottling that many students in a confined area with little to do other than drinking is a bad thing. We need to provide them with recreation and jobs in...

I'm going to raise an issue I brought up with the last mega-building on Lester. I think this might create some pretty bad traffic issues. It is already very difficult to make a left on to University...

I'm not too happy that there will be a random property stuck between two tall apartment buildings. Makes that property rather un-developeable (I know that's not a word :RpS_tongue:)

I heard the same thing about the new owners somewhere too. I have a feeling it may have been on W2 some time ago, or in an newspaper article featuring the owners. I wish I could say where.

Having been born and lived in Sudbury for 23 years, I can vouch for the origin of Toppers. It was founded in Sudbury by a gentleman with the last name of Toppazzini. As an Italian immigrant, he...

Hi Greg.

I am absolutely shocked to see that entrance hidden in the back. The messiness, filth and haphazard construction is disrespectful. I can't believe that the accessible entrance is so...

With the enormous shadow it generates, I feel bad for any lifelong residents in the homes to the east. HOpe they weren't planning on having a garden!

Oh, development, you can be such a mixed bag...
