For a McDonald's it was pretty nice. What's next, 2nd Cup at Mt Pleasant closing?

Transit destroying our neighbourhood! (joking obviously)

I used to support the ECLRT, but seeing that I won't be able to get my McFlurries any more, I'm thinking that I may have to withdraw my support :p

Tim Horton's moved in across the street.

They have hashbrowns and Creamy Chocolate Chills.
 
^^ The staff at the new Tims is really friendly (they are former coworkers of mine), and the location definitely has a neighbourhood restaurant vibe to it. Do check them out. :)

I don't like that the 2nd Cup is going to become the station entrance. It should be a heritage site and ideally facadectomied into a new condo building. The corner retail space preserved and the station entrances be put up where the Churrasco and Hero Burger are.

I worry that the beautiful building will be turned into a station entrance dump like the Yonge Street entrance of College Station.

Hopefully not. The Walmer entrance of Spadina Station, which is a heritage structure, has been well maintained.
 
McDonald's should occupy a part of the first floor of the Whole Foods Market. If that is not possible, then McDonald's should occupy any one of these medical institutions: Sunnybrook, CNIB, Holland Bloorview, or Toronto Rehab.

You would favour a coffee chain over one of the best Churrasco places in the City?

The Second Cup, the Hero Burger and the shop north will all be closed. The station entrances aren't just a stair case. They have escalators, elevators, and massive vents. Some have bike parking or power sub-station in them too. They have a fairly large footprint.

I know of a couple, there are more, subway stations that incorporate fast food outlets within the station. Think of the "revenue" they add to the TTC.

I thought Churrasco was next to 2nd Cup. Turns out it is Imbiss.

I don't have much faith in those stores returning though.
 
It would have been interesting if Mt. Pleasant station had a direct entrance connecting it to the Eglinton Public School. There is precedence for that in Toronto even: note the direct connection between St. George station and OISE.

I think those are vastly different matters--OISE is a university building which people can generally travel freely in and out of, and which really just houses adult students and faculty/staff. Eglinton houses students in grades 1-6. I don't think a lot of those parents would like there being a direct LRT entrance in/out of their kids' schools. Most elementary schools I know of generally don't like inviting members of the public to freely come in and wander around like OISE.
