Photos taken today, Friday (Jan. 10). Progress visible on the tower since my post from last Friday, mostly on the top. All the blue forms for the super columns have moved up now (only one had last week) as work continues on the 4th mechanical levels on 77/78. Further down, some of the blue forms on the corners have risen to level 68 or so. Below that, the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the exterior skin are still where they've been for a few weeks - levels 50, 49 and 49 for respectively the east, north and west RCSs.
Starting with the views from Yonge Street south at Dundonald, then around Charles, including shots showing slight progress on the skin on the south face, a couple of cladding panels newly added. The view from in front of Holt Renfrew on Bloor west of Yonge with a tighter view of the top. The near-diagonal view from Cumberland east of Bay, including a tighter shot of the top. Then the "classic" view from the NE corner of Yonge and Bloor, and further to the east by the old The Bay entrance. And finally the views from Queen's Park Cr. W, north of Hoskin, and from College and Queen's Park.

One Bloor West (The One) "time-lapse"
From October, 2020, as above-ground construction started in earnest at The One (1 Bloor W.) in Toronto. More or less a weekly photo usually taken on a Friday, with some gaps during early-on construction hiatuses. The initial photographs are from 2015, during demolition at the site, 2018, during...

Generally for something to be "aka" means the nickname is widely accepted and commonly used by many people. Clearly not the case here.

Let JA call it whatever and simply move on.... how important is it to you anyway?

I get where @Undead is coming from.
On one hand, it's harmless - but it also feels like it is implying something that isn't so on behalf of the forums at large (ie. almost misrepresenting how we all refer to it).
Would be more appropriate to move from "aka" to "as I like to call it" ...

I get it too but it's simply not worth the hassle it causes in here to fight it. Presumably we're all here because we share some common interests. Personally, I'd rather pick more substantial battles.
