tor-ron-toe

I couldn't agree more. It doesn't make any sense. I live on Bay Street. And you'd think it had be evacuated. I wonder why these two streets have been zoned as dead. Is it part of the official city plan? Or just another example of lethargy.

It's good to hear there will no whales, sea lions and other creatures like this at the Aquarium. I was at Marineland and Game Farm a few years back and it was heartbreaking. Not that fish don't count, but they are much smaller and seem to handle captivity better than Killer Whales and...

I don't know where you have been, but Toronto already is a lewd drug infested hellhole.

I agree Drum. These PAN AM games are going to be a disaster.

99¢ Roxy footnote. One summer, some one who lived across the street from the Roxy, would set up speakers in the window of his apartment. And he/she would blast music at the people online outside waiting to buy a ticket. Everyone seemed to appreciate it. But it only happened on sunny...

The bacchanalia of the 99¢ Roxy may summarize some of what made the 1970’s such a liberated decade. Despite the stupefying oppression of Toronto’s draconian liquor and blue laws, various contrabands and restrictions, in a strange way, there was more personal freedom back then. Perhaps the...

You're right DT. Getting into the Imperial 6 was never a problem. At 15 I looked like a 10 year old. But they always let me in. No questions asked. Thus it was my " go to " theater as a teenager. It has to be listed as one of the ugliest movie theaters in the history of the world. The...

Increasingly these artists renderings are increasingly vague. They look as though shot through an age reducing filter.

Look to Vancouver to see what will happen here with the Pan Am Games. Fasten your seat belt tax payers. We're in for a bumpy ride. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/british-columbia/gary_mason/scale-of-olympic-village-disaster-warrants-full-audit/article1984684/

Hazelton Lanes is horrible. It should be torn down.

Now we need to move ahead with the DOWNTOWN RELIEF LINE.

It's sad that people who don't even really live in the city are now in charge of the city. I know they say Scarboro, Etobicoke, North York etc are part of Toronto. They aren't really. Because these suburbs could be anywhere, Rochester, Austin, Cincinatti etc. The suburbs surrounding...

Toronto, meet your new First Lady, the lovely Renata Ford. She's heavy metal dame meets classy glamor puss.

Hopefully this never passes at City Hall. What step backward. What a dumb idea.

No, they were OCAD students. They were talking about school work etc.

I heard some amazing Toronto accents at Nuit Blanch. I was surrounded in the subway by early 20somethings. It was packed. You could instantly hear the out of towners. But when you'd hear a townie it was quite the experience. Gone is Canadian Raising. No " oat " and " a boat " for this...

I was at BBQ downtown yesterday. We were talking about the Mayor's Race. One fellow, a strapping vicarious young man around 30, chimed that he was voting for Rob Ford. I asked him where he lived. He said " Brampton. " Swimming silently in a pond of irony, I said, " Alright. " Many people...
