I see far off to the left some red brick stone front with more character, five floors and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=energyblog.wordpress.com&blog=86168&post=407&subd=energyblog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Missing materials like cheerful brick would have improved the depression-like trance needed to enter this thing every day.

btw the image doesn&#8217;t show (again).  Based on the information listed,

renovation to electricity as natural gas dwindles.  Otherwise at this
scale the electrical load on the neighbourhood isn&#8217;t worth it to the

I was reading in the Toronto Star about implementing roof gardens by
city council, and nowhere would this be more effective than with TTC
property.  Subway stations, outside platforms like Davisville,
Rosedale, Old Mill etc, especially bus bays, even offices could all
benefit from reduced loss due to heating and cooling expenses using
roof gardens. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=energyblog.wordpress.com&blog=86168&post=345&subd=energyblog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
