Way up in the very northwestern corner of the city, the old Indian Line used to mark the boundary between Etobicoke and Peel Region (Mississauga and Brampton). The road carved its way through farm fields and across a bridge over the Humber River before continuing north past Steeles Avenue. Most of the old road was effectively wiped out by the initial construction and subsequent widening and extending of Highway 427 starting in the late......

The city’s Discovery Walks program, while extensive, doesn’t cover every nook and cranny of Toronto. For instance, there is very little ground covered east of the Don River. Great Country Walks Around Toronto by Elliott Katz fills in many of those blanks. This pocket-sized guide covers parks and trails from the Humber River Valley to Rouge Beach, the Islands to Black Creek. This week, Torontoist follows Katz’s guide into Taylor Creek Park.......

Old Mill station offers a brief respite from the dirty grey walls of the subway’s usual monotony of underground tunnels. Crossing over the Humber River, the windows of the station offer a view of daylight and trees in either direction. Not surprisingly, Old Mill station is also the start point for another of the city’s Discovery Walks: the Humber RIver, Old Mill and Marshes.......

Step right up, kids. Not too close though, you don't want to scare the rock people away. We know that you look at those precariously balanced piles of rocks on the beach or—in this case—in the Humber River and think to yourselves that there must be more to this than simply resting one rock on top of another. Surely there are screws, rods, glues, or props of some description used in the construction of these......

Peter Riedel could hardly have chosen a better location to ply his trade. We've seen rock balancers in the eastern beaches, in the western beaches, and even at the Ex, but this is the first time we've seen one working the Humber River. Literally in the river. The Humber cascades over a low waterfall in Étienne Brûlé Park before bubbling just a few centimetres deep across a short stretch of river rock. The only......

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! The gorgeous Humber Bay Arch Bridge is one of the most popular structures to photograph, with its gigantic white arch resembling a rollercoaster track. We liked this take on the subject by Flickr pool contributor Andy Carroll, which not......

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! Today's photo comes courtesy of local visual artist Mr Kevino (Kevin McBride). He discovered this "castle" between the Lakeshore and Gardiner, just east of the Humber River, near Windermere Ave. He's photographed it a number of times on different......
