Even though tomorrow is World Car Free Day, Torontoist wants to warn those TTC virgins that sometimes the Better Way is not always the Better Smelling Way. Gawker just released a NYC Transit - Google map mash up of what each station smells like for their glorious Gotham. We suspect that if this kind of map were to be created for Toronto, the TTC would send out legal notices like it did poor local blogger......

When I was thirteen, I went to visit my aunt and uncle in Halifax. In the maritimes nine years ago, the Atlantic Superstores were way bigger than anything in Toronto, and they sold clothes!

As one of the major bus stations on the subway line, Eglington becomes a stopping point for a whole bunch of people. The washrooms are hidden in the back of the station, and get a lot of post-bar-if-I-don't-pee-now-I-will-die business. At the same time, Torontoist can't remember using the public facilities here without......
