Hey, remember Nuit Blanche? You know: that all-night cultural art thing a little over a month ago that maybe wasn't all that great. That thing. While the city did a pretty spectacular clean-up job, they've missed a spot: a sign sturdily attached about ten feet up a pole outside the Isabel Bader Theatre at Queen's Park and Charles Street on U of T campus still welcomes visitors to Zone 3, and invites them to......

"Skeletons Out for a Walk" by emcnamee. There is a lot of madness to look forward to this week. Nuit Blanche madness (covered very soon by Torontoist), book sale madness, and literary events madness spread throughout the city. Torontoist will give you the lowdown on everything we can this week so you can sort it all out in your head. To settle down pre-Nuit Blanche jitters, you can check out the Art Aloud: Scotiabank......

This Saturday and Sunday is the third Toronto Comic Arts Festival, the city's only comics convention where you're unlikely to find cosplayers.

This free event is organized to showcase the talent of Canada's cartoonists, both up-and-coming and well-established, while also welcoming international comics creators to the Great White North. The festival, called "TCAF" to be concise, will......

Each weekday morning, we pick a recent image from the Torontoist Flickr Pool and feature it here on the site. It's our way to give the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention they deserve! As the city's first decent-sized snowfall of the season (a long overdue one, at that) dropped yesterday, some people woke up and reached for the dials on their heaters, some for extra blankets, and some for the snooze button,......

We just got sent these photos from an anonymous reader, and we thought that they were too cool to pass up. They were taken late last night from the open and unfinished (read: windy and really, really scary) roof of One St. Thomas, a 32-floor ultra-ultra-luxury condo at St. Thomas and Charles Street West that's still very much under construction. Click either photo to see it larger. Prices go well past $10,000,000 for a view......

Tonight, The Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto is presenting a lecture by architect and educator Peter Eisenman entitled Architecture Against Itself. Mr. Eisenman is a central figure in American architecture from the 60s until today. At times labeled a deconstructivist, a label he does not feel an affinity to, his built work and theories on architecture as a discipline have been quite influential in many disciplines. The lecture......
