Comments Off on City planners initially rejected Restaurant Row condo, love it now that it’s bigger and more destructive
City planners rejected the proposed tower at 323-333 King Street West when it was supposed to be 39 storeys, with 201 condo units. So the developer bought an adjacent property and redrew the tower at 47 storeys with 304 condo units.
Now the city planners are in favour of it.
A staff report suggesting that city council approve the tower comes to Toronto and East York Community Council Wednesday morning.
Al Carbone, the founder and longtime owner of Kit Kat, an Italian eatery on the city’s historic “restaurant row,” adjoining the proposed tower, is aghast. He plans to speak out at Wednesday’s meeting, even though he says the city never advised him of its change of plan.
“This gives nothing to the city and more to the developer,” Mr. Carbone says. “The tower got bigger. It didn’t get better — it got worse. I can understand if the building shrunk.”

Comments Off on This week’s Awesome happenings!
Hello again to the desk (bed… ) of SarahD!
On Monday at 10:32am Mayor Robert Bruce– who names their kid Bruce?) Ford got FIRED!! :-)
He intentionally breached the codes of office and a high court judge told him what was what.
The man who fires people at will clearly received the city’s retribution.
I have some questions for you all: do you think that he did what he did intentionally?
Given the dynamics of the Ford family, do you believe that played a part in the manner of Rob’s tenure as Mayor?
I frequently wonder if things would have been different had DOUG not had been sitting there telling him how to function lol.
Would Rob Ford have been a good Mayor of Toronto all by himself without Doug?
I can understand that family is family and they should be by one’s side however, Toronto did not elect a two-person Mayor…
My thoughts request your thoughts so feel free to write back!
Peace, love, and good health to you,
SarahD!

Comments Off on Hello again! :-)
I’ve returned from my prolonged sabbatical and ‘familial difficulties’!
So where do I begin? Jerkface downstairs terrorized us to the point where I finished half of my prescription bottle ofAnti-anxiety meds, some with Amaretto… Cops, tears, and LITTLE SLEEPING ; I had to protect my family.
Re:my MS– I’m just OK. I’d be much improved but I am starting anew as of today. Pls wish us luck on all fronts.
Fronts: sleeping,improved nutrition, excersize, moving, annnd Wedding plans! :ad
Everyday I’m amazed that sleeping right beside me is my best friend and I also get so excited that I stress out my body lol.
Lately we’ve been location hunting and talking about event details etc etc… oh, and petty arguments. Public quarrels r my specialty I found out…
My honey and I don’t usually fight so I just started to cry!
We ate lunch and rectified everything! (We pushed forward the wedding date which has helped create a sense of complete calm in Sarah’s head).
I know deep inside that P and I will be together for eternity so a few months won’t be a big deal, right?
I have a lot more to say but tonight I am going to bed…
Goodnight and sweet dreams!
xoxoxo
