Torontoist is ending the year by naming our Heroes and Villains of 2007––the people, places, and things that we've either fallen head over heels in love with or developed uncontrollable rage towards over the past twelve months. Get your dose, starting Boxing Day and running into the new year, three times a day––sunrise, noon, and sunset. There are good condos and there are bad condos. Toronto is being overrun by bad ones––"terrible cold chasms of......

Near Manulife Financial: Bloor East citizens would like less poo in their public spaces. With condo fever gripping the still-shabby southeast corner of Bloor and Yonge due to the future One Bloor 80-storey tower, the Bloor East Neighbourhood Association (BENA) met Wednesday night at the Rogers Centre (333 Bloor Street East) to discuss how their little stretch of street could be transformed to rival the world-class reputation of Bloor West.

With a similarly macabre look at love, a late Neolithic couple found buried together outside of Mantua will not be separated because, well, they're just too adorable.......

Archer even posited that Church be affectionaly dubbed Toronto's Fleet Street. We see the logic of this idea.
