All due respect, I see an aluminum version of my grandmother's breadbox with triangular accents.

Maybe Canadian architect Frank Gehry could do some remodeling.

I'm sure the architect wouldn't mind the description an aluminium breadbox!

I can imagine what might happen if it was near a microwave tower or Wi - Fi hot spot. It could get dicey.....

I hate to think. Coincidentally I have a post almost ready which includes a story about a building built with stainless steel in Canary Wharf which caused 100k people to lose their TV signal!

I once lived in an apartment in downtown Toronto that was very close to the bus station. I ran a wire across the alleyway and connected it to the perimeter of the roof. My radio got amazing reception.

That's progress ! A 2 - edged sword. I live in a building situated in a wi - fi dead zone. Fast food places advertise being wi - fi hot spots. THAT'S a key thing for attracting customers now.....
