Watching the Wheels

You have to like Leafs Coach Ron Wilson telling it is.. It was all downhill after the opening faceoff, he said about last nights loss in Pittsburgh.You can blame the coach for only so long. The fact is this team does not hit the ice game ready, sooner or later the players will have to pay the price for that..of course the coach will face the music first..
heh great item on the murder of John Lennon of TSN SportsCentre last night. The bit about Monday Night Football announcing the assasination of the ex-beatle was intriguing. Howard Cosell didn't seem to know what to do with the news. Frank Gifford, who was never really given much credit for anything on that announce team told Howard to announce it because it would have world wide impact..He did and 30 years later the impact is still being felt around the world.

New Opportunities

New construction is something that is quite common in the north, east and west and but when you mention new contstruction in the area around my office in The Beach you get a funny look. I write this as I sit in the store front office we have on Queen Street just east of Woodbine
for the Kew Beach Living Development that will be constructed on Kippendavie .This new development is one of many the Al Sinclair Team is involved in and I am happy to be part of it. A 65 unit condo building with a green roof plan and tree replacement program that tells you right away how well thought out the development is. One of the sales lines that I use to interested buyers goes like this, new construction south of Queen Street is certainly a rare opportunity. That line is 100 percent accurate. All of mine are, I still have a lot of journalism flowing through my veins. It is a rare opportunity indeed. Completion date is set for the fall of 2012.
If you need something faster try our converted church at 21 Swanwick, still 5 units left ranging from 699 to 849 and oh so close to the Danforth Go Station and local public transit lines, and if you want to head east a little bit try our townhouses at Birchmount and Kingston in the very low 700's, with an outdoor patio on each of the four above grade living levels and each unit has its own elevator. Average it out, the Kingston Road stock goes out at $275.00 a square foot. Please let me know where you can find that anywhere else in Toronto. Next time we talk it will be sports...
