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.

Photo by Thomas Hawk. Although we know that every resident of Toronto is a huge fan of the "betterer way," and that not a single one of you has a complaint about the TTC's long wait times, we recognize that it is sometimes necessary to invest in your own personal motorized vehicle. Aside from the costs of car payments, gas, insurance, winter tires, summer tires, oil changes, floor mats and chrome spinners (slammin'!), eventually......

With parking at a premium this holiday season, shopping malls see an increase in lazy, self-important jackasses who park in Accessible Parking spaces and abuse legitimate disability permits. The mind boggles at the selfish sense of entitlement this takes, and the Toronto Police Service won't care that you "just had to return a video." The Parking Enforcement Disabled Liason Unit have just entered a month-long enforcement blitz, focusing on those who park illegally in......

After intense public backlash over a boneheaded plan to expropriate the storied Matador Club and obliterate it into a paved slab, the Toronto Parking Authority has backed down. Thanks in large part to the Save The Matador movement, today's afternoon TPA meeting experienced some expropriation of its own when about forty supporters descended upon Meeting Room B to vociferously protest the the Council-sanctioned demolition. The matter will return to City Council to be officially......

Parking metre rates to rise by at least 50 cents. City drivers complain that it makes shopping more expensive. City cyclists point at the city drivers and laugh. The city drivers responded by shaking their fists and telling the cyclists to get the hell off the road. At this point, things deteriorated rapidly. Elsewhere, the era of free parking is coming to an end in Missisauga. Delegates at the Thailand conference approve a global warming......

Ah, "beautiful music." A term rarely attached to current radio formats, this middle-of-the-road mix was the mainstay of many powerhouse radio stations in the 1970s. Two versions of the format tended to exist: • Stations that played mainly light instrumentals, covers of popular tunes, Mantovani and Percy Faith, all to be used as inoffensive background music. • Stations that mixed these tunes with Broadway selections, crooners, lighter pop acts and heavy servings of news, sports,......

Torontoist doesn't have a car, but this still makes her wince: Parking tickets for one and all up and down Queen Street this weekend. Has there ever been a better time to walk everywhere?......

Incongruous things are afoot in this town. Parking tickets are down and Ralph Benmergui is up! It must be Spring! Here are the links: - Gene Wilder will be interviewed by Jazz FM nasal nebbish Ralph Benmergui on Tuesday. Wilder's new book is Kiss Me Like a Stranger, and he'll tout it at the Bloor Cinema tomorrow at 8. - Parking ticket totals will go down this year, and Toronto Police Supt. Gary Ellis says......

Torontoist Editor Sarah: Hey Josh, want to go to a movie tonight? Torontoist Editor Josh: Sure. That new Dan Ackroyd flick is playing downtown. I'll drive. Torontoist Editor Sarah: But we won't have time to park! Torontoist Editor Josh: I have four words for you: Pay. By. Cell. Parking. As if parking in Toronto couldn't get any easier; now we can all pay for our parking using our cell phones. Pay-by-cell parking is just another......
