@archhistory My great grandparents Moishe Yukel and Rifka Bernstein and their children (including my grandfather Saul) lived next to the synagogue at 38 Maria. The interior is wonderful.

Dotty's was a snack bar that my mother Dorothy Webber (Bernstein) operated in the 1960s and early 1970s. It subsequently became my cousin's ice cream stand. This is next door to Bernstein's, a store that my grandmother Bella opened 100 years ago and is still in business.

@Sean_Hertel Happy Birthday fellow celebrant!

@archhistory @1967ers My dad took me to Maple Leaf Stadium for Sunday doubleheaders.

While decluttering I found a few old Toronto documents. This is a 1973 annual report cover with a partially built CN Tower.

I'm appreciative to be given the opportunity through @urbanformation to contribute land economics and development cost analysis to this affordable housing initiative.

@SaugeenShoresON deserves a great deal of credit for a willingness to pursue this housing policy response.

[Sean Hertel @Sean_Hertel]

Thanks @NRUpublishing for covering @SaugeenShoresON's move to pursue a planning permit system aimed to build more affordable homes, based on study led by @Hertelplanning with @Urbanformation @wearePROCESS_ & The Ridge Road.

[Steven Webber @DowntownTO]

This is great. My Aunt Molly and Uncle Lou owned theatres in Haliburton (the Molou), Minden (the Beaver) and Fenlon Falls (the Fenlon)

[Haliburton Museum @HH_Museum]

Day 24 of #Museum30 (still catching up!) In 1941, newlyweds Lou and Molly Consky decided to open a cinema in Haliburton and called it The Molou, combining their names. The first film shown #onscreen is said to have been “Down Argentine Way”. Here’s a peek at a 1942 program...

@Sean_Hertel @SaugeenShoresON Thanks for the kind words Sean. It's great working with you and the Saugeen Shores CPPS team.

@danaLanderson @Sean_Hertel Me too!

[Sean Hertel @Sean_Hertel]

@VoteSheenaSharp I’m leading a development permit system (“CPPS”) study for @SaugeenShoresON, with the explicit aim to deliver affordable housing. Work just stated so stay tuned. Leading the consultation is @wearePROCESS_ and economics by @DowntownTO.

During the winter 2021 semester another strong @rysurp studio group examined the affordable housing potential of a Green P site at 15 Denison for @HousingNowTO. They also had to deal with contradictory financial feasibility, planning policy and urban design objectives.

@itsahousingtrap @joe_cressy @RYSURP @_CreateTO @CityPlanTO @DowntownTO ...it is the 2nd in a Series from 2021...

[Steven Webber @DowntownTO]

This project provided a motivated @Rysurp group with a meaningful affordable housing studio experience. It helped them understand the need to challenge existing approaches. Thanks to @HousingNowTO for being an engaged and focused client.

[HousingNowTO @HousingNowTO]

@joe_cressy …our volunteers visited your surplus Green-P parking lot site at Dundas & Ossington today. A great transit-served location to deliver new #AffordableHousing in #TOCore. Lots of smart work on this location done by our @RYSURP Studio students that we have shared with @_CreateTO…

[Jeff Kwong @DrJeffKwong]

We have ~150 doses of Moderna available BEFORE NOON today at my clinic downtown (Bathurst and Dundas). Please DM me if you want to come. DO NOT JUST SHOW UP. I will give you the instructions.

[Steven Webber @DowntownTO]

@jimhelik Both!

[Steven Webber @DowntownTO]

First time in the office since March 2020.

[Steven Webber @DowntownTO]

@jimhelik I can add to the clean up rule, if you find a half filled water bottle it should be thrown out
