You can rest easy, Toronto. Contrary to a notice posted outside Old City Hall, the historical landmark is not being converted into a condo tower’s parking garage. A mock development proposal has been posted on the lawn outside the court house, jokingly advising passersby of a supposed plan to construct a 90-storey residential building on top of the gargoyle-laden building and turn the existing structure into a multi-level car park. A link on the sign leads to a Tumblr web page of other would-be development projects. It’s all a goof on Toronto’s condo-building fervor, care of a pair of artists and self-described “urban interventionists” who work under the pseudonyms Glo’erm and Tuggy.
