Yonge and Bloor: What Will You Miss the Most?

It's hard to believe but it has been 5 months since Bazis International firstformally introducedtheir plans for an eighty-storeycondo/hotelMega Tower on the South East corner of Yonge and Bloor. And whether you love it or hate it (and judging by the comments in mypreviouspostson this building, there are plenty of people on both sides), the reality is Yonge and Bloor is about to undergo a major transformation and will never be the same again.

本周单词got outthat the approximately 20 businesses who currently lease retail space in the South East corner of Yonge and Bloor down to Hayden Street have been given their eviction notices. Everyone has got to be out of there very soon as demolition is slated to begin in December.

While Bazis' intentions for the corner may be good, and surely we can call agree that the intersection ain't the prettiest, their choice of words in describing it has left some with a bad taste in their mouths. Bazis' director of Sales and Marketing described the corner as 'junky' and that they intend to make it 'fabulous'.

根据即将demolition of a major corner of our City, I'm calling on you, blogTO, to begin the mourning process by telling us what store/restaurant/shop you will miss the most once the wrecking ball comes crashing in. For me, without a doubt it is going to beBiryani House-in my opinion, the best and possibly cheapest Indian food in the city. Good-bye butter chicken, I will miss thee.
