It's not often the suburbs get attention in BlogTO, not no more. WOO suburbs![0]
Just so you know.[0]
An image of Scarborough's civic square, better known as Albert Campbell Square. This is when concept images are too optimistic[0]
A fellow colleague, Graeme, is hosting free bike tours of Toronto Laneways.[0]
Our dear Brennon blogged about our wonderful excursion in Paris on the exchange. He is now living the life in the exciting world of London. Lucky Duck.[0]
I think this campaign is totally neat-- but I bet our friends at the Public Space Committee would beg to differ [via Ramanan][0]
Zanta has a website! I came across him a week ago while running errands at Yonge & Eglinton and said hello. Neat guy, not weird as one would expect.[2]
Cornelius the Lion is its name. For those who don't believe New Urbanist communties provide active communities, I urge you to visit their community website.[0]
How can I miss an opportunity to talk up Markham?[0]
I don't pity Scarborough; there are some neat things there, as this Royson James writes, but I was startled by a quote from Scarborough Councillor Michael Thompson: "Shortly we'll have the largest Wal-Mart in Canada ... in time for Christmas. I say it with great humility, actually. We are creating jobs."[2]
Loblaws claims that construction will soon commence, and the Superstore is expected to open next September. It's about time.[0]
A video about my ghetto high school.[1]
Can't say I've been there, but have from time to time peeked through the window to view to happy rich people from time to time.[0]
Yes, yes, yes![0]
I agree with the author, Scarborough isn't really that ghetto or scary-- at least in the areas I normally frequent.[0]
The laws of supply and demand at work: prices of gas soar as a result of supply shortage.[0]
I've always wondered how the heck they do this. The task seems unbelievably labour intensive.[0]
We have never had to-your-door mail delivery in our part of Markham. Spoiled. Funny enough, the subject who was featured in this article is my Grade 5 school teacher, Mrs. Gutierrez, who still teaches at St. Benedict to this day.[0]
I think there should be due consideration about its use during non-exam periods. I obviously spoke too soon. [via Daily Bulletin][1]
Jarvis Collegiate is Toronto's oldest school and has a rich multicultural history. It proudly educated Toronto Councillor MP Olivia Chow and soon-to-be actuarial scientist, Les Loh.[1]
Althought I don't live in Toronto, I found this home cross-section contact listing is a very neat idea.[0]
Very very nice.[0]
Joe Clark is a whiner. I wholeheartedly support the replacement of TTC subway station signage similar to those now hanging along the Sheppard subway. Wayfinding signs need to be simple, clear, and succinct. Let's not bombard people with so much clutter, as some of his recommendations include.[1]
Someone stole my bike last month. I tried to keep it low key-- since it's so common that it's not even blog-worthy anymore. According to Hamish Wilson, the U of T police have had a lot of success in cutting back the bike theft rate by using 'bait bikes' with GPS in them.[0]
No way! He is an icon of Toronto's vibrancy and is brilliantly entertaining.[3]
Whoa, I was shocked when I heard about it. I remember those turkey giveaways, and those fun visits to Honest Ed's.[0]
A small feature on its history. I love this intersection. The ads actually add a lot of value to this prominent retail centre. I think I have more photos taken at this intersection than any other place, expect perhaps my home in Markham.[0]
Hume actually loves something in Toronto-- the CN Tower! Oh Hume, deep down I still love you :)[0]
It's about time.[0]
Unionville Arms Pub & Grill has been "quite severely damaged."[1]
Wal-Mart's "Store of the Community" program uses GIS to identify multicultural population clusters around stores and to tailor merchandise selection. Also, store signage at the Markham location is shown in English and Traditional Chinese (though in an illegible font called MingLiu). Chinese Markhamites are spoiled.[0]
Looks neat![0]
While I am excited about Ryerson's continual coverage of its new master plan, it get a sense that it's taking away from what they should be promoting: education. (Yes, I admit my bias as a subscriber to Torontoist's RSS feed.)[0]
Wow! I need to rent this movie. The only picture almost unrecognizable is this one, the backdrop is where the Toronto Life Square now stands.[0]
Torontoist talks about the people behind the awesome old school hand made store signage.[0]
The pics and their responses to a better Toronto are very cute.[0]
Someone left a nasty note to a bike thief. I thought of doing that too when I had my bikes stolen. But I figured that I shouldn't devote anymore time to these losers. I guess it's good to vent sometimes.[0]
I need to take a trip there. From the photos, it looks pretty good![0]
I checked out the new Wave Deck at the Waterfront during Luminato, and it's awesome.[0]
