Alternative Thinking is the lone surviving building that stood on the entire city block that was the Honest Ed's property. It was the lone building not owned by the Mirvish family and its owner decided to stay put. Construction continues around it of several high rises and other smaller buildings. It is nice that the architects put some lower buildings near it so that it is not totally overshadowed.

A concession, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it's getting squeezed by the big buildings.
ReplyDeleteI like the name of that business, it's kind of appropriate for deciding to stay.
ReplyDeleteNice to see that someone wants to keep their old building.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIt is great to hear the owner is hanging in there. Have a great day!
...in my mind it's a sad state of affairs!
ReplyDeleteSo long as we're not "thinking" about "alternative" facts. :-)
ReplyDeleteInteresting streetscape.
ReplyDeleteGood for them, deciding to remain in this location. Let's hope this block remains partly low rise.
ReplyDeleteThis sort of thing is always fascinating. They did come up with a good solution for the street
ReplyDeleteI remember shopping at Honest Ed's when I first moved to Toronto for grad school.
ReplyDeleteI was disappointed when Honest Ed's was demolished. Nice to see to see that something survived the wreckers ball.
ReplyDeleteNice view.
ReplyDeleteWish there was more creative thinking about saving and restoring older properties. I suspect this tiny place has a longer 'shelf life' than some of those high rises.
ReplyDeleteIt may still be there after the new building is gone.
ReplyDeleteProbably an interesting place.
