That building on the left of the last pic is ridiculously wide.

It is. I've always liked it though.

Now if they turned that part of the Gardiner into a regular 4, even 6, lane street they could make a fairly substantial Rail Deck Park east.

I thought that we banned all non-snow skyline images until April?

My friend has lived in that flat iron building since 2004. Been in there many times. Never really thought of how wide it is until seeing this pic even though I’ve come in from the east on the go train and car several times

Several years ago I was house sitting for a weekend and brought my girlfriend along. We brought our swimsuits so we check out the hot tub. I went a few minutes ahead and there was a fine ass honey there by herself and she was giving me the eye as I sat down. Exchanged pleasantries until my gf arrived and then she got real quiet. Considering she was out of my league I quickly realized she was an escort.

Any condo downtown or by square one Mississauga is probably going to have escorts and or drug dealers. My old coworker pretty much confirmed when he always saw 9s and 10s working out in the condo gym in the middle of a weekday at his building across from square one.

Wasn’t that building a hotel in the past? Thinks it was Ramada Renaissance. In my teens, iworked st TD Centre. The flatiron building was relatively new then.

Doubtful. The units are too big.

Once again, where is the common sense in replace 12 lanes with 4 lanes?

Good grief; do you ever stop trolling? What do you think the tunnel debate has been about for the last 30 years. And for the 1000th time, I don't want to have any contact WHATSOEVER with you. Go away. Leave me alone. Stop trying to talk to me. I want NOTHING to do with someone like you. Get lost.


BUZZ OFF!!!!!

And, for the 1000th time, I'm not going to simply stop responding because your megalomania can't handle criticism. Stop posting then.

You didn't mention tunnel. Why would I think a tunnel was included?
