The sightline to the big bear is blocked by the play structure leaving this poor bear frozen in a futile search.

I hate to be the one going around correcting people, but the title is Karma Chameleon, and it's not nonsense words, the song does have a meaning.
(On top of that, most people don't seem to understand what the word karma means.)
It's clearly Karmann, Karmann, Karmann, Karmann, Karmann Ghiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaa. Everyone knows that, sheesh...
 
Why does the big bear statue look like a memorial?
With the black stone, it feels like a solemn art object commemorating a sad event or something.

(unless the artist is comemorating last years Blue Jays season*)
A couple of pages back, there is a photo of a sign which explains what it's about. The bear is sitting on a throne. Since the bear is fictional, the statue is unlikely to be a memorial. Some have said it reminds them of the Lincoln Memorial; that's the only connection I can see.
 
^...it looks unsettling though. >.<
 
Some signage has gone up for the new TD branch on the first floor.
Aha! (To this and James' post). I looked for signage, but didn't actually go up close to the building, just looked at the big sign on the corner (seen in the picture), and couldn't see anything about a TD branch. There were no signs in the station either, which I believe is going to be connected to the building underground, once there are some business like this which the public can use. I also looked online for an announcement, and found nothing. Does anyone know a projected opening date?

I don't have any photos to share, but from peeking through the glass last time i was there, it looks pretty close to opening.
 
I got the scoop on the TD bank. Went over to have a look, but could not see anything through the tinted windows from the outside, and there were no signs about an opening date. There is a single ATM on the outside wall with a paper sign attached saying "Installed May 25" (yesterday) but it is not ready for use. There is no outside entrance to the bank. I went inside the building lobby, and found the bank is all lit up, with a sign saying "Open" and listing business hours, and the door was unlocked. I was dubious, but I went in, and found there were no tellers. There were 2 people there, not sure if they worked for TD or were construction contractors, but one who was probably with TD told me the bank is opening June 1. Now that there is a business serving the public on the ground floor, Metrolinx has no reason not to open the tunnel connecting the station to the building underground. I believe the tunnel is there, but it's behind a wall in the station which will need to be knocked down.
