On October 26, 2004, Torontoist had our very first post. Which makes today the day we turn the age that all parents and babysitters fear most – two!
It could be a lot worse. Our readership has steadily grown over the past two years, and Torontoist has developed with them. We enter the dreaded terrible twos not whining, screaming, or begging, but gently nuzzling the backs of those dedicated readers. Torontoist couldn’t have made it this long without all of you. As always, we welcome your comments, and we’re in the process of setting up a readership survey to really figure out what makes our readers tick.
There’s a lot more that could be said, but for now, we’re going to keep doing what then-co-Editor Sarah Lazarovic promised we would in that first post – “provide you with everything you’ve ever needed, 416-wise.” We hope that you’ll all stay along for the ride, and, with any luck, these terrible twos will be anything but.
