- Church Street reliably throws the best open-air Halloween party in town, with especially good costume-sighting each year. The 2011 installment will be a bit more subdued, unfortunately: the Church and Wellesley Village BIA has announced that due to budget cutbacks, they won’t be able to throw quite so elaborate a party.
- Bruce Mau is speaking at the opening night of the International Festival of Authors tomorrow; in anticipation, the Toronto Standard chatted with him about design, writing, and social change.
- Foodie excitement of the week: French chef Daniel Boulud is opening a restaurant in Toronto, at the Four Seasons Hotel.
- Some really interesting analysis of Ford Nation and the members thereof: one year after the mayor won the election, a focus group asked people who voted for Ford what they think of him now.
