Bench at Superior & Lake Shore needed

I contacted Mark Grimes about replacing a bench which was removed from Superior & Lake Shore.  I'm finding it more and more difficult to walk to Valumart without somehwere to rest for a few minutes.Isn't there something that can be done about installing a bench?  I think it is a poor excuse to say that a bench can't be installed because of potential vagrants.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is the response from Mark Grimes…See More

Discussion initiators can delete discussions they started

Hi Everyone,

 

Recently some content from the site has been removed, and after investigating, I can only conclude that they were removed by the originators. On this site when you create a discussion, you have the ability to delete it, and all related items will be removed (sometimes that part doesn't work perfectly).

 

It would be a last resort that the moderator team would delete content outright; and it has happened rarely in the two years the site has been…

Do you know the style of your house?

As the renovation season gets going (you know the one that goes all year) I thought I would post a a link to a site I did when I was first learning about my New Toronto bungalow. The motive of the site is to help homeowners learn about the original style of their house so they can make renovation decisions that are in-keeping with the bones of their house.
