"It's just one of those weird things you never really think about, but once you know it exists, you can't help but see it!"Thanks to Steve, we now have an overview of how subway stations used to look in Toronto and, with a little cursory research, what exactly went wrong.The OG colour schemeThe station look for Toronto's subway was simple: clean lines,...

4 d. ago Shuttered Toronto landmark gets new lease on life as grocery business moves in

The fate of a well-loved Toronto landmark has taken another turn after the iconic Beaux Arts-style building was closed for three years.The former Postal Station C building at 1117 Queen Street was built in 1902, designed by famed architects David Ewart and Samuel G Curry, and served the neighbourhood's mail delivery needs for more than a century until it was officially closed in 2020.In the years that followed, it seemed that the fate of Postal Station C was nothing short of tragic, from being sold to sitting vacant, and riling up locals even more with the possibility of a futuristic new condo tower sprouting from the stately old building.Take a walk by Postal Station C today, and you'll see the building plastered in signs indicating that something new is moving, teasing work opportunities, and a new chapter for the building.    View this post on Instagram           A post shared b...
