That's 10 Dundas East, or commonly known as the Toronto Life building. The building houses some offices, a multiplex (many of the theatres are used during the day to house Ryerson University classes in exchange for the building getting use of air rights controlled by the university), big-box...

Re: 319 A Street Rear I miss Boston's light in the summer. Great shots.

Here's a cool website that uses real-time data for bike-share systems around the world. Click on the city and it will show you how many bikes are at any given station and how many empty spots there are. http://bikes.oobrien.com/global.php

When I was in high school, the section of Centre St., in Newton, between Route 9 and the Riverside line overpass was paved with concrete slabs. It made for quite the rhythmically bumpy and noisy stretch of road on the good 'ole 52. This is going back 11 years since I was last on that road, so...

I was just in Chicago and was so astounded by the fact that a CVS there had a liquor section I had to take a photo. All the while, I was thinking, "Where am I? This would never happen in Toronto or Boston." Lo and behold... It makes sense, when you think about it. You can get your beer and wine...

My only Fung-Wah experience was back in 2002. I took a day trip down to New York with a friend from school. It was spring and I was graduating and my friend, who was an exchange student, was returning to Germany. We decided to head down to "the City" for the day, taking a morning bus back and...

Boston-Brazil will probably never happen. I think it's time we put that one to bed. In much the same way that many European routes from the West Coast, even if the traffic is there, don't stand much of a chance of operating successfully (San Francisco-Rome comes to mind), it's a long route with...

Is the brick mid-rise residential? Rental or condo? If so, why are their no balconies. I get why there wouldn't be on the side facing Western, but what about the sides visible in the third photo? It's strange that so many developments in Boston don't include balconies where possible, when...

Re: Millennium Place III | Hayward Place Out of curiosity, is it standard practice for condo units to go on sale only after the building is under construction? I know with the condo boom in Toronto, most (if not all) condo towers go on sale prior to construction (at reduced, pre-construction...

Turns out the route cuts are leisure routes to the Caribbean; San Juan, Santo Domingo and Havana. Furthermore, Spain isn't Italy. While much of the Boston-Italy traffic is leisure, Boston-Madrid has a healthy business component, especially in recent years with developments like the Santander...

Re: New hotel tower Trinity Place near Copley Sq. Meh. It looks like so many of the two dozen or so comparable condos going up here in Toronto, and elsewhere. It'll add a bit to the area and probably piss off some uppity Back-Bayers. So, I'm not opposed. Hopefully, in a few years, it won't...

Dallas-Love (Southwest's base of operations) currently isn't allowed under the Wright Amendment. That is supposed to change sometime in the near future (by 2015, if I remember). However, capacity constraints on the airport will dictate how much Southwest is able to expand. While Boston isn't...

Indeed. It's a matter of distance. Boston-Brazil (São Paulo, most likely) would be in the region of about 9 hours. Boston-Ponta Delgada is about 4.5. So the flight to Brazil is effectively twice the distance. That said, airline costs often rise faster as flight time increases, so Brazil could...

If you think people duking it out on the subway is bad, check out how we do in Toronto. :) http://www.lionsdenu.com/couple-caught-having-sex-on-spadina-station-platform-video/ NSFW!!!

Yeah, that's not a big surprise. With the AA/BA joint venture, BA's morning flight can absorb AA's capacity. The analogy of rolling a bowling ball through the cabin is fairly appropriate to describe BA's morning flight during the winter (I assume it's much the same over at AA). Additionally, the...
