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?

Kennedy Station will remain closed today, at least for the morning. So, if you live in Scarborough, enjoy those shuttle buses.

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.

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.

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 the Quizno's food taste like peppers, instead of like nothing.

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 material for friends and fellow comedians. Few truly delve into scatological onstage.

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.)

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 individuals should know that you must win a ticket or be on the GList to enter.)

Hot Hot Heat x New Afro - (A band called Louis) + All Ages = TWEENS!

Alonzo Mourning apologized to Raptor fans yesterday, saying he’s sorry if he got their hopes up following his inclusion in the deal that sent Vince Carter packing. Mourning, who came out of retirement following a 2003 kidney transplant, said he wanted to play for a championship-caliber team. His return to Miami, where he had his best years as a pro, may in-fact allow him to achieve his long awaited goal.

Torontoist would like to give everyone another reason why they should fight the proposed anti-postering bylaw with everything they've got, rock posters. The streets, hoardings and lampposts of the city are frequently blessed by beautiful work by people like the Complaint Department and Michael Comeau (one of his more recent works was the poster for the packed Toronto Public Space Committee Fundraiser). Occasionally we are also blessed by a poster from Montreal duo Chloe Lum and Yannick Desranleau, better known as Seripop. The duo have been printing posters since 2002 and have a lot to show for it. They've travelled all over North America, shown in more galleries than we can count and have worked with bands like Hot Hot Heat, the Arcade Fire and the Unicorns.

was the turning point that brought on the hyper capitalist, sexism as a norm, drug-n-thug culture of rap today. Now, after the re-emergence of the creative emcee, Dre is looking to take back the balance of popularity from the Andre 3000's, Mos Def's, Roots's and Freeway's. The Game, who is the latest addition to Dre's group of muppets called the G-Unit, is every bit the regressive 1992 rap that maligned the genre for years. His nostalgia for George Bush Sr.-era thuggism may represent a change of pace that appeals to critics, but we can't seriously be considering returning to the "Bitches Ain't Shit" sloganism and ultra violence of past...can we? Here's this week's completely unrelated mixtape.

We at the Torontoist would like to apologize for how repetitive our basketball reports are becoming. As sorry as we are, though, it appears that nothing is changing.

The Raptors recorded just their second road win of the young season last night in a tough battle against conference favourite Kazaam and the Miami Heat. With Vinsanity hardly contributing with just five points on 2 for 9 shooting, the win was fueled by the return of Donyell Marshall who added sixteen points to the (almost) full team effort. Marshall’s return adds size inside along with gifted outside shooting. The Raps will to continue their claw back to a respectable road record when they take on the Orlando Magic tonight.
