    T.O. Hoop Dreams & Basket Cases

    In honour of the Raptors advancing to their first NBA Finals last night, here are some pics from my long defunct Panoramio page celebrating Toronto's street-level love affair with Dr. Naismith's great game... Inglenook School, 07/2004 Bathurst Quay, 06/2003 American Drive, 05/2015...

    Toronto Street Sign & Street Furniture Databases

    As per a couple of 8 year old requests from this thread (https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/street-signs.13896/), I have finally taken it upon myself to set up the following sites: Toronto Street Sign Database Toronto Street Furniture Database They are both wiki-based websites, so everyone...

    Concrete & The Red King?

    http://toruinto.blogspot.ca Just in time for the Halloween season (as well as the 10th anniversary of ERA Architects' landmark book Concrete Toronto), some vaguely spooky speculations derived from certain findings of this UT thread. A truly indispensable contribution to an internet otherwise...

    Blog Tag Cloud??

    Is it just me, or did the number of tags listed in the "Tag Cloud" become significantly smaller in recent days? This has made my Blog exceedingly difficult to navigate!

    Oldest Sports Teams In Canada...?

    Just a little pet project I've been working on over the past couple of days - not sure where to put it, so why not here? Out of curiosity I decided to do a Google search for a list of the oldest current hockey teams in Canada (at any league/level) and was rather surprised not to find one. So...

    Bygone Neighbourhoods

    As an adjunct/complement to all the new (and possibly spurious) neighbourhood names of the Murphy Village thread, I felt it fitting to compile a list of all the old (and possibly spurious) names of various neighbourhoods, districts, villages, estates, and other locales within the current city...

    Murphy Village???

    I've never heard of this place before, but while browsing Google Earth I found it marked as a neighbourhood, south of Dorset Park, at Lawrence & Kennedy. It's also listed on the Century 21 site: http://www.century21.ca/CA/ON/Toronto/Neighbourhoods/Murphy_Village Apparently not much info...

    Toronto: Four Faces (1984) documentary

    Interesting video currently being added to TVO's new archives site First clip features Scott Symons bemoaning Toronto's imitation of New York and its "lack of eroticism," among other things: http://archive.tvo.org/video/119443 Historian William Kilbourn waxing historical...

    Parkdale Village

    Saw some Parkdale discussion in the "West Queen West" thread, but didn't notice a thread specifically for all things west of Dufferin Street. Used to live there (2003-2007), and it was already undergoing some revitalization before I ever arrived (mostly around the periphery) - but it was...

    Woodbine Heights

    My neck of the woods. Basically the area of East York around Woodbine Avenue, north of Danforth. This stretch of Woodbine is still largely dominated by mechanic's shops, hair salons, and churches. However, over the past few years the neighbourhood has started to slowly undergo a process of...

    SNL coming to Toronto??

    Any particular reason why the Larry King Live site has Toronto's skyline in the Saturday Night Live logo?? http://larrykinglive.blogs.cnn.com/2010/09/24/tonight-on-larry-king-live-178/ :confused:
