You know very well it has nothing to do with that. Stop pretending to be thick. I welcome/encourage differing opinions but have zero tolerance for rude, abusive, self absorbed, bullies. It's you who have no tolerance for differing opinions. You attack and ridicule anyone and everyone who disagrees with you.

Your behaviour over the years has been appalling but we all know (you know it too) that you get a free pass on SSP to behave however you want. The only option is to ignore you. I'm certainly not going to stop posting but it's no shock that a bully like you would suggest I do that. You're used to doing whatever you want to whomever you want without impunity.

I assume people can put 2 and 2 together. Apparently that was assuming too much.

Agree. It's a great vantage point and showcases the extensive tree canopy.

^^^ So they are building one new building from the 60's and one new building from the 2000's at the same time....interesting.

You got lucky. You would have been in a fisticuffs bout if that old guy was 30 years younger.

Adelaide Street West. The worst street to drive on and it has been that way for 20 years. The last time I drove on it was 10 years ago.

That's a question for the photographer. It looks like she didn't doing any touching up as she uploaded about 60 raw images. Also she was shooting in the direction of the sun on a humid day.

Here is a neat angle we don't see often. This is looking north from Casa Loma towards St Clair Ave.

Well the one on the left is from the 60's, it's just being renovated. The one on the right is a new tower built on the former's parking lot.

Damn it, I hate that airport. In a just world there would be a bridge crossing that little waterway and the Toronto Islands would feature residential enclaves, a few commercial streets and large, delightful parks accessible to everyone.
