Look closely at that Toronto video, you can see the Jones Ave. Adult Centre School on fire (May 6th).

It appears on the left of the screen as the video starts.

Agree. Makes me realize how much, when you're looking east just before the Ville-Marie tunnel on A720 (Near YUL), there is a big part of the skyline that is already behind you !

I wrote that forgetting that that's precisely the part of the harbourfront where Google is hoping to conduct its potentially dystopian experiment in building an internet city.

So while it may look awesome, it might end up being an inorganic commercially-driven nightmare where borg-like creatures man surveillance systems that suck every last bit of data out of you.

Trades building at SAIT. Just finished my apprenticeship in there in April. Used to be a parkade.
