I stumbled upon this, but some documentation seem a little bit old, so not sure if it's an old project, or just one with little traction.

URL seems like an odd name for a condo.

Jumping on the tech bandwagon?

I'm really not sure about this one.  This site says Columbia and Spruce, but their site map says otherwise, and I'm thinking now that it's a part of The Block development?

And I notice that the UW campus has now moved further east, right next to Lester St!

They seem to think Ion has stops at University and at Columbia, when of course they've been build mid-block.

I say this as someone who specifically picked a phone number with a 404 exchange because most of my career has been as a web developer and it tickled my fancy: This is a stupid ass name for a building.

Edited to add: It took me a while to process just how bad that map is, and although it almost won me over by using the full name for Phil's the gross manipulation of scale makes me even more irritated.

[Spokes]

I didn't really look at the map. It's horrid.

Not to nit-pik that phenomenal map, but is Chapters still at Weber/King?

I love how they call National Sports "National Sports Center". That doesn't exist in Waterloo Region.

Yeah it's like someone was describing google maps points of interests after a brief conversation with a tired student in line at a coffee shop in the middle of exams to a designer hastily scribbling details down across a noisy intersection.

Nope, it was moved to the Indigo at Conestoga Mall.

It's very safe to say this map was made by someone not local to the area, working from at least partially outdated info.

This map is amazing. Moses Springer looks like it's in the old White Rose Nursery.

Or maybe it's on University across the street from the Goodlife.

Also, Pearl/Flying Dog have been closed for over two years.

KWAG is also NOT Uptown
