It’s always grey, dirty and dark whenever I walk through it and I can’t help but think for such a world class city we could make it look a little nicer… are there any improvements planned for this tunnel as a part of the Union station works?

@ Dundas and Kipling. I was running to work (the jobsite) this morning before sunrise. Thought I heard something drop on the pavement didn't think much of it figured it was coming from the construction. Come coffee break I couldn't find my car KEY!! Retraced all my steps and stuck my nose down like a bloodhound no luck I thought it dropped in the drains.

On my 4th attempt to find my car key/fob I looked up in despair and there she was!!

To the THOUGHTFUL SAMARITAN YOU ARE MY HERO!! Wishing you plenty of good karma with God's grace and blessings!! Theres a box of treats waiting for you at the bakery beside the Shoppers drugmart on Friday Oct 16.

Much love!!

-Ahmed

History The Annex, late 90s, early 2000s...

What a great fucking time in a great neighbourhood. Randomly posting this because I had this dream last night where I was drinking at Las Iguanas (I haven't had a drink in 2 decades) and I woke up remembering how fun Las Iguanas and The Tap were. And how you could go back and forth between the two bars via the back doors.

And the Green Room. Such an off the grid place. That wild patio surrounded by patios. Always wondered what it was like to live there.

Insomnia, Kilgour's, JJ Muggs, By The Way Cafe, Futures, that wild Hungarian place with the checked tablecoths and massive schnitzels.

Sigh. I get that I'm old and remembering the halcyon days and shit, but it was better before everything went digital and venture capitalist.

Any other peeps remember stores/things/people from back then? The strip between Spadina and Bathurst on Bloor.

Discussion Hoping to optimize Eglinton & Allen

Hey everyone. I'm sure many people have experienced the terrible intersection of Eglinton and Allen. I drive and walk through this intersection on a daily basis, and I wanted to focus on optimizing the car throughput because the existing traffic light cycle sucks. I mostly come from the west going eastbound, trying to turn left onto Allen. The current problem I see is that the Allen N left turn light only turns green when the eastbound light at Allen S turns red. This makes it so that only ~100m worth of eastbound cars can get onto Allen in one cycle.

I remember that this wasn't a problem about a year ago, so I tried to recreate that optimized cycle to the best of my ability. Explaining traffic light cycles is really hard so I made a video showing one 120-second cycle of what I'm trying to propose. I used an old map as the background, it's from when I used to get emails about construction in the area.

If anyone has any feedback about the cycle or who I should send this to to get implemented, please let me know!

For me it’s things like.

I wasn’t sure if this was satire or news at first, but here we are. 🤦

Edit: Realizing I will get downvoted for posting this link but hope people see this headline and realize (if they haven’t already), that Bradford is a populist through and through.
