By David Topping

Every weekday’s end, Extra, Extra collects just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.

• Lake Shore, that show that won’t be very good for anyone, has unveiled their ethnically meted cast. Depicted above: the audition of Karolina Czaja, the show’s token “Pole.” Not depicted: you barfing. [via @mondoville]
• The Lakeview is about to open Lakeview Storehouse and Catering, says Toronto Life. It’ll be a “a grocery–convenience store hybrid.”
• Here’s a hand-drawn map of the University of Toronto from 1932, when the downtown campus was apparently much more whimsical.
• Last week was “Toronto Week” at the BBC/Lonely Planet, with features on Kensington Market, ethnic neighbourhoods, “hotspots,” and West Queen West. We’ll take it. [via Robin Rix]
• The latest Street Stories piece from Spacing: Jameson Avenue.
• And here’s some Spaghett street art, for your pleasure.
