It is SO close to the Uptown tower. You can almost invite yourself over for dinner if you like what your neighbour is having, or joining a party or whatever.......

I'd be tempted to put window coverings in my bedroom......

LOL! It is for people who for whatever reason can't cash a cheque the normal way through a bank account... they take a fee in exchange for cashing the cheques.

Ah Ok TB, thanks for your reply. I d never heard or seen any shop as such. We don't have such here. Could be useful though.

I can't help but like this building. It's turning out better than the renderings and better than I thought it would.

Apart from the colour, the renders were pretty accurate, but I agree with you. This is turning out to be one of my favourite little streets in Toronto.

i think crystal is beautiful, it's slim proportion in particular, but i still feel the 'lesions' are tacky, unnecessary detractors.

Lesions?

OUT.in.TO · November 25th, 2009, 07:11 PM

It looks good... however it doesn't look blu, bleue, azur, or even plain old BLUE! This is grey!!!

***Elkhanan1*** · November 25th, 2009, 07:15 PM

It's kind of blue in person.

sammo · November 27th, 2009, 02:26 AM

nice pic, you can also see it from the southside near college/yonge.

***Taller, Better*** · November 28th, 2009, 09:09 PM

I walked by today, but it is so dreary and overcast today than you cannot really tell the colour. It is a sort of pleasing and unusually pale, cool bluish grey:

sammo · November 28th, 2009, 10:05 PM

great pic TB.
even with the overcast sky, i think you've captured the essence, the subtle colour -even in those silly scars! you are too modest.

MissyC · November 28th, 2009, 10:57 PM

it is JUST grey!
