Very happy that famed disc golfer, Dylan Cease, has signed a big deal with the Blue Jays!

I thought this comment about the differences between western and eastern approaches to historic architecture to be interesting.

Maddie doesn’t remotely care what the square is called because she knows it doesn’t matter (and because she’s a dog)

For the love of god can the Toronto AIC just work it is 2025 already.

A Parkdale friend is getting renovicted from her apartment (could be a rooming house, I’m not entirely sure). If you know of any bachelor apartments for her and her small dog, let me know. Neighbourhood agnostic, but definitely price sensitive

Annual reminder that Black Friday cell phone plans will start dropping soon. Shop around, change carriers, no loyalty.

Omg 😭

When you chonky and work in development, one costume always works

My neighbours in my building are organizing a unit list for kids to go around and get candy tonight (as we do every year). Condos are communities, just as much as any neighbourhood.

The OLT appeal of the garden suites bylaw amendment from June has been scoped to a single property, so is now in effect city wide. Good news!

Visited the showroom of Atella, who make “pre-engineered modular garden suites”. Really nice product. Impressed at how fast it can be assembled on-site, and their everything but the furniture pricing.

Had a great time tonight chatting with the Harvard Village Residents Association about my dog Maddie and all the various changes that have come to Toronto planning policy over the last year or so.

Very happy to have gotten my client’s new 4plex approved today at Committee of Adjustment. Garden suite was already under construction (almost done). Massive property that will be put to much better use. Ready to be 6plex, when council allows.

Disc Golf on Ward’s Island, 1982. The course has change and evolved over the decades, but is still there. youtu.be/YASVi1b1Hc8?...

The Lost Bus on AppleTV+ is fantastic and stressful as fuck

So this Wendys is using a shitty AI order taking program in their drive thru. I hate it and hope they don’t roll it out wider.

Back at Maple Hill for the MVP Open next week.

Man, they will put anyone on tv these days. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIb4...

For the fellow nerds, my friend Tom of EcoFlats and Solares Architects is posting a series of great videos showing the steps of constructing their 4plex project on Delaware. www.instagram.com/eco_flats

I like that the lower employee entrance to the old Sears headquarters (the upside down pyramid/222 Jarvis) had stairs with a bike wheel channel in them.

Chilling with the 2025 Canadian Champion, Paige Pierce

Day one of the 2025 Canadian Disc Golf Championships. Weather is amazing. More than 500 players across 4 courses, the second biggest Canadian tournament ever.

Much of Toronto's early expansion took the form of "shacktowns," where owner-built housing on small private lots provided affordable housing for workers. @dylanreid.bsky.social explores the seminal 1996 book "Unplanned Suburbs" that analyzed this phenomenon. spacing.ca/toronto/2025...

Rainy days are dark enough. No dark umbrellas.

First time charging an EV. Very straight forward.

ANALYSIS: Standard home plans aren’t ‘performative’ — they’re illuminating Government-approved home designs teach bureaucrats, not builders The plans absolutely confirm what the private sector has been saying for years: the building code and zoning are problems www.tvo.org/article/anal...

Back to the scene of the crime.

OK... looked at the floor plan for the city's "pre-approved garden suites" that they announced today. Here is one of them. Tell me what you notice about it. Would you want to live in this?

Superman gang signs up for the new movie trailer

Obligatory flying into YYZ photo

Maddie demanded patio dinner on such a nice night

Oh cool a show with Kevin Bacon playing a bail bondsman *5 minutes later* Wait wut *15 minutes later* WHAT AM I WATCHING

Maddie always finds the only sunny spot at dad’s place

Project15 is such a great course

Absolutely mint Regal showed up in my building’s parking garage.

Went out for a few quick shots in the neighbourhood on this misty night to test some new camera gear.

BLACK BAG is Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy getting in a 3 way with Ocean’s 11 and Mr Mrs Smith. Really good.

Super happy for my friends who did great at the Open at Austin this weekend! Don’t remember the last time 3 Canadians cashed at a Pro Tour event

Sponsored a hole at the 2025 Toronto Open, the amazing new hole 11 at Dentonia

Great trophy for a tournament I’m playing this weekend (which I will not win)

Here is MacCallum's original story. The local councillor did take action after the story was published to work with Metrolinx to stop this idling. But it leaves open the broader question about the enforcement of the anti-idling bylaw. spacing.ca/toronto/2024...
