Location: Yonge and Eglinton
Date photo taken: 19 April 2016
Spending time at Yonge and Eglinton recently I was in awe of the number of sites either currently or soon-to-be under construction. The building boom in Toronto doesn't seem to be slowing down. I took a look at the city's planning applications site and 141 new applications have been submitted to the city in the last 180 days. That seems crazy!
With all of the construction happening, it's nice when the sites offer you up a nice little surprise. Those working on the future site of eCondo right at the corner of Yonge and Eglinton have injected a little fun into their workplace, painting their crane's hook block with the Batman symbol. I also noticed that the crane's working arm is strung with Christmas lights but I haven't been around at night to see if they are turned on. Perhaps that's purely a seasonal thing.
If you want to learn more about cranes - like how they manage to stay upright when they shift all that weight - there's a great page on them on the Science - How Stuff Works website.
