Original Toronto Star caption: Look up: T-shaped construction cranes dot the downtown Toronto skyline; like these at work on the Market Square Luxury condominiums being built on Front St.; east of the flatiron building. Metro's new building boom of the 1980s is smaller than its stupendous spurt of growth in the 1960s and early 1970s but very vibrant. Now it's a matter of filling the few empty spaces left and improving and restoring what's here.

Seven-storey brick building with worn, white paint, missing balcony rails and windows. Affixed ...
Desk: Workmen are busy boarding up and taking safety precautions at that 'ghost building' on Bayview Extension we wrote about last week. All the balcony windows from top to bottom have been boarded for the first time anyone can remember. It is the result of our story. Why don't we send a photographer up and take some pics of this being done? Earl McRae
