City sells “the McDonald’s site” on Bloor for a fairly low price. However, Adam Vaughan insists there are upsides to the deal, such as being able to limit the height of the condo development that will take its place, because who would want tall buildings in the downtown core? Patrick Swayze has pancreatic cancer. Although [...]

Kennedy Station will remain closed today, at least for the morning. So, if you live in Scarborough, enjoy those shuttle buses. It’s Super Tuesday! Barack Obama is closing the gap with Hillary Clinton in a number of key states, most notably California. Meanwhile, the Republican race is boiling down to a dogfight between Mitt Romney, [...]

Each week, Torontoist shows off the most interesting, creative, and cool submissions to our Torontoist Flickr Pool. We're especially partial to photos that show our city in a new light, highlight a recent event, and remind us why we live here. Join the Flickr pool and show us what you've got.

It used to be that as sure as you could count on awkward conversations at the office Christmas party and a stocking full of clementines on Christmas morning, you could count on being able to turn your TV to channel 11 on Christmas Eve to see a certain Bing Crosby vehicle featuring the best-selling single of all time: White Christmas. While channel 11 (it's certainly not CHCH anymore...what is it?) has given up its...

A lot happens in and around Toronto, but we can only write about so much in a week. Here’s the best of the rest, in a new weekly feature we’re calling Superfluist. Superfluist will appear every Friday night. Cathy Gordon decided to get very, very publicly divorced on Monday, with an art piece she called [...]

For some of us, every day is dance day, but UNESCO has decided that this Sunday, April 29th, is International Dance Day 2007 for everyone. “Oh, my sainted aunt!” you cry. “How to manage the anticipation? The pressure! How can I avoid messing this one up like I did Secretaries Day, or that one Mothers’ [...]

The Lunch Express rides again. It’s a shuttlebus service that takes office workers in Markham and Richmond Hill to nearby shops and restaurants so they don’t have to drive their own cars. Assuming you count Quizno’s as a “restaurant.” Admittedly, they GOT A PEPPER BAR! And a pepper bar is important. For starters, it makes [...]

If you’ve seen the movie The Aristocrats, you know disgusting can be smart. But while most stand up nights have more than their share of jokes involving penises, poo, breasts and masturbation, by the end of the night, what was once mirthful becomes meh. It’s partially because most comics reserve their most fecund fecal matter [...]

The Whoof… Joe Cocker Spaniel… Sha-na-nauzer… Santana’s Litter Helper… Woofstock is back and bigger than ever! This year’s largest outdoor festival for doggie and doggie lovers is changing venues and heading to the St Lawrence Market, closing off Front Street from Scott to Jarvis with Market in between (banking the Flatiron Building.) With over 150 [...]

How illegitimate are tonight’s Casby awards? Well, maybe illegitimate is the wrong word. Can we use “bogus” instead? The equivalent of the Teen Choice Awards makes an attempt at a throw down tonight at the Kool Haus with performances by the largely-nominated Bedouin Soundclash and Hot Hot Heat. Bring your white belts. (Except any white-belted [...]
