"Read a Book" The words, it should be noted, were not written on the outer glass, but rather on the interior panel of the ad caisson. Photo of the shelter on the south side of Queen at Ossington taken...

For reasons that were surely thoroughly considered, York Mills was not a stop on the recent Type & Tile Tour of the Yonge-University-Spadina line. Nevertheless, due largely to escalator maintenance that has been ongoing for over a year, it...

This time last year, he was wishing us Merry Christmess from Zanta, and now former Torontoist staffer/billboard modification specialist Fauxreel is selling prints! While we naturally dig all his billboard work, there's something about the shot of the dead bird above that's just gorgeous, and––like all of his work––one hell of a conversation piece.

When Austrian company Wiener Stadtwerke approached Owen Pallett/Final Fantasy about using the song "This Is The Dream of Win & Regine" in a commercial, Pallett declined (probably nicely). So, naturally, Wiener Stadtwerke used the song in a commercial in June of this year anyway––or, at least, the most similar re-recorded version of Final Fantasy's song possible, changing a few notes in the violin part, adding some guy awkwardly singing "can you feel it?" and crediting......

Walker......

In a September news release, the University of Toronto announced in a roundabout way its intention to sell the historic David Dunlap Observatory in Richmond Hill to the highest bidder. Opened in 1935 and home to the second-largest telescope in the world at the time (and still the largest in Canada), the Observatory was overrun by light pollution by the 1960s. Although no longer very suitable for visual astronomy, the DDO continues an active......
