Yeah, I think that is the church.
Actually, the new buildings just look like shit, they are usually built fairly well.
I'm a big believer in the beauty of the Street-scape.
Driving in on the Gardiner, or sailing in the harbour, one notices the sky-line, but walking down the street, one notices maybe the first 3 floors, after that, no.
The problem with the boxes that they build today is that they are essentially frames of concrete with glass bolted to the face. Cheap, simple, easy, UGLY.
If the developers had their way in Toronto, they'd turn the whole city into that shit they are building down by SkyDome, or the shit they already built at Harbourfront. Cold, desolate, windswept, abandonned.
