This one, I did feel. Was upstairs in my wood-frame house; the first clue was the colset door rattling. Very odd experience.

Plenty of spots for raspberries if you know where to look.

Every suite stripped to the walls! That is a big job.

The sales office has been removed; this frees up the space needed for the final block of units to go in.

The trick with that is that the customer would not know in advance the exact cost of their ride. If they can look at a map and count the zones they will pass through, then they can get an exact...

To keep BB users happy - they can now BBM to their Android and iPhone-packing friends.

The city actually used that headline on the official site? Bit cheesy.

Now & Then wasn't the same after Harry died. He gave the place its unique flavour.

Wow, you can see clear through! That's what you call a gut.

That one remains privately owned (by Dundee, owners of Market Square and 22 Frederick). Not sure what tools the city would have to work with them on that.

That IS looking good.

Move was completed last week; today is the grand reopening to coincide with Free Comic Book Day. Very popular, too; there's a line of a good dozen people just now.

The MyMark store (formerly The Bargain Shop) at Forest Glen Plaza has just been rebranded AGAIN, to 'Red Apple'. No real changes to the layout, it looks pretty much the same as under the MyMark...

Perhaps a structural problem has been identified, and repair is out of the question?

We have a name: ION.

Those identically - sized, perfectly rectangular panels seem to me to be set up for replaceable graphics.

If you need direct evidence of this service's viability, just follow the route through the city and look at the developments already happening around the station locations, and also at how busy the...

I'd bet higher. No matter how close university students live, I think the improved service coming in the fall will convince more of them to use the bus no matter where they're going.

And I'll be out of town! Have to watch for that.

The comic shop on Ontario Street in the block being renovated by Zehr will be moving from the rightmost unit to the leftmost; there is now a sign in that window, which is papered up. Presumably their...

All I can imagine is that financing fell apart. They had enough to complete structure up to basic enclosing (plywood/windows/roof), so contracted for that and expected more funds to materialize which...

Too expensive for an entire house-wall. They're better off using a product like Roxul Safe & Sound, combined with an air gap, and ensuring structure is as isolated as possible.

Changing demographics, I think; the area used to be solidly middle-class families (I attended Jr High at Queensmount, so I recall that), but it has swung to either older middle-class folks or...

Building on land currently vacant or occupied by unremarkable single-family homes. Infill marches on...

"The half-acre property is at the periphery of the neighbourhood and abuts land zoned for six-storey apartment buildings."

What was the objection tot he original design, again? :RpS_confused:

The sharrow markings on the street have me the most excited. It's the perfect street for it, too.

The EAs and consultations when GO first arrived had all of these details laid out.

Double-tracking is already planned and costed out; it's much further along than electrification.

Kate Daley from that group, along with some concerned councillors, were on the news tonight: http://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/citizens-and-politicians-sound-alarms-over-omb-ruling-1.1228028

Perhaps check in with the Humane Society?

That would be dominated by short-term self-interest and would pretty much eliminate forward-thinking planning.

That's why we have politicians.

If we do get electrification all the way to us (they may phase it and only go as far as Georgetown initially), that would be an amazing step - easily allowing the implementation of shorter EMU trains...

Certainly the fact that we have a new, efficient structure that can easily handle higher traffic would assist in building political capital towards that goal. It would be a great building for...

A second attempt at Tanglewood, then? I suppose the imminent compleation of the Block Line bridge to Courtland might well invigorate some interest in the area...

The more I see of this idea the less I like it. Car-focused, isolated, with the entertaining/dining options monopolized. Ugh.

Definitely power - you can see the photovoltaics if you look from the other direction.

Ooh, that Budd ad is depressing in the current context.

Will they specialize in pies?

-rimshot-

I though they had their eye on some urban space near the GO station? This is disappointing.

Cans as well! I've heard good things about their canned poutine gravy...

Turns out a raccoon birthed a few kits in a tree-based nest in my neighbour's back yard. They were a bit surprised by the bright sun this afternoon and were noticeably grumpy.

Not the first to be...

I think benton is referring to the official 'grand' opening of the stores that have already had 'soft' openings (Guelph, Cambridge Centre).

Correct, it's most definitely temporary.

It also has temporary furniture, temporary shelving... basically a bunch of the old fixtures moved into the new part of the building. Most of it is due to be replaced/moved on the completion of phase...

No, but I find it handy when you DON'T know the # but don't want to walk all the way to the stop to find it out. Just make sure the Transit layer is active, zoom in far enough to see the stop's icon,...

The trick of it all is, if you have a smartphone there are numerous apps that will give you the same info, or better, in a more timely fashion. This decision only affects those with no access to such...
