There was something like 82 murders in Toronto in 2007 which is a lot for a Canadian city

Thank you. I felt the need to include that in the thread on SSC, but perhaps it was required here too.

I actually stole it from a television show...

Stay away from Toronto or you'll get shot...

Nice pics, they show a lot of density.

b-e-a-UTIFUL. Nice collection.

Okay, hold on...I don't know Toronto as well as I thought I did. Where's this?

shappy · #13 Posted **Jan 29, 2008, 2:53 AM**

that's Osgoode Hall, silly. If you don't know Osgoode Hall, then you really don't know Toronto as well as you thought you did.

that's a great photo... those 60's/70's concrete slabs can be extremely cool. Toronto has quite a few of these types of buildings and I imagine that they will be much more appreciated in the future.

Excellent thread!

The problem with these slabs is the way they meet the street, and the fact that our climate can really make them look like crap in the winter. Otherwise, I agree.

I don't mind the way some of them meet the street. They're sort of inherently monolithic and powerful and evoke a kind of surreal scale (similar to some deco)... like this:

It's got that city look to it.

Austinlee · #18 Posted **Jan 29, 2008, 5:23 AM**

Oh hell yeah. That is an amazing city.

Chelsea Spy · #19 Posted **Jan 29, 2008, 9:17 AM**

A lot of ugly buildings, but they come together quite beautiful in a way. Great pics!
