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.
It looks like it's getting squeezed by the big buildings.
I like the name of that business, it's kind of appropriate for deciding to stay.
Nice to see that someone wants to keep their old building.
Hello,
It is great to hear the owner is hanging in there. Have a great day!
...in my mind it's a sad state of affairs!
So long as we're not "thinking" about "alternative" facts. :-)
Interesting streetscape.
Good for them, deciding to remain in this location. Let's hope this block remains partly low rise.
This sort of thing is always fascinating. They did come up with a good solution for the street
I remember shopping at Honest Ed's when I first moved to Toronto for grad school.
I was disappointed when Honest Ed's was demolished. Nice to see to see that something survived the wreckers ball.
Nice view.
Wish 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.
It may still be there after the new building is gone.
Probably an interesting place.
