- For years now, the Sylvan Apartments around the corner from Dufferin Grove Park have been vacant, as street art and, yep, a heritage designation from the City have accumulated. OpenFile looks into the Edwardian building’s uncertain fate.
- This is what Newmindspace’s lightsaber battle outside the ROM looked like, if you’re into that sort of thing.
- A real shame: careless affixing of a notice board to Gordon Rayner’s Tempo at St. Clair West Station appears to have damaged the iconic, multi-coloured mural.
- It’s no bike, but someone’s using Craigslist to return a copy of Eat, Pray, Love, left on Centre Island.
- And if you were ever wondering what kind of hate mail SummerWorks would get for play-that’s-been-accused-of-supporting-terrorism-even-though-it-doesn’t Homegrown, here you go. Torontoist’s guide to which SummerWorks plays you shouldn’t miss, meanwhile, is online now.
