Guess What's Going Up Here?

Yup.

A 58 storey....uhhhhh....condo.

Now this building does have some historical significance.

It was Frogley's Bakery.  Built in 1885.

A young George Westin actually found employment at CJ Frogley's first bakery on Yonge St.  Just down the road from, this, his third location.

And it will be kicking out the venerable Cookbook Store.  Which has been here for over 30 years.

And here is a sneak peak at what will be replacing it.

Lovely.

 And will just fit nicely in one of the remaining areas of blue sky in the area.


The reason I am mentioning this, is that it will just block nicely my last remaining slice of direct sunlight.

View from our courtyard.

View from my dining room.

Won't have to worry about that annoying sun shining in here for much longer.
