This is a crazy shot. Huge transformation, and the even crazier thing about it - I actually like it!
I remember years ago - long before any of these towers were even a glimmer in the eyes of a developer - thinking that I'd like to see Yonge (and other downtown commercial streets like Queen) develop like this: with the low-rise heritage shopfronts retained in full, and high-rises built up on the back lots and side streets. So it's cool to see it actually happening now. Helps that the towers going up along Yonge are also generally a bit higher in quality than most of those elsewhere in the city.
