24 hours is refreshing. Almost everything in Toronto closes at 8pm these days despite the demand for 24 hours.

This area will have this 24h and a Big Bee literally across the street 24h too. Incredibly jealous because on James N we don't even have a crappy convenience store open past 10pm.

Yeah my friends from the States always joke that this entire country closes up at 8.
 
To be fair, our minimum wage is far higher than most American states. If we underpaid our workers we could probably afford to keep stores open overnight too.

When I worked at a Metro we were open overnight, but after I left they raised min wage and started closing at 11pm, I think they close at 9pm now.

Or raise prices a little.

When you have people pissing away at least $10 a day on UberEats delivery fees and tips alone, a $0.50-$1 increase on every item in a 24 hours store would be chump change for a lot of people.

"The market" has a very square one food market vibe feel to it

As for "the chelsea" I honestly don't get their obsession with leaving the ceilings unfinished 🫤 - immediately makes me think of the concrete rooms in the future in cloud atlas.

It's not like it's a nice stone finish ceiling either - its messy dirty looking concrete with seams and blotches. Takes away the warmth I dunno. Too brutalist for me. And it's not like this is supposed to represent what an old factory woulda looked like - if they were gonna do that they'd go for giant wooden beams to support successive flooring. This just screams "we're going to cut corners on building supplies and try to make it look chic" - basically you get less, but think you're getting more, and thus will pay more, for less.

honestly i'd be fine with concrete if they at least finished it with a nice sealer. I've seen some beautiful concrete countertops done this way.

The Greystones ceilings looked better. Two projects recently, this and the Mirvish Village did concrete badly. I don't know if it's just moist still and will look better once fully dry, but I don't mind concrete finishes so long as they look a certain way. These ceilings have dark stains (or moisture?) on the edges and it looks less than desirable.
