The TTC's new electric 'Next Vehicle' signs have started showing up at stops around the city. Digital displays replacing the old ones — slightly less mystery about when your streetcar's actually coming.
Fog rolled thick over the city after Saturday's Jays game — so thick you could barely see the CN Tower from the harbour. Classic Toronto summer weather.
Someone posted about the LCBO that stretches under the Gardiner and asked why the city isn't using more of that space for community centres, shops, or other buildings. Worth thinking about — that's a lot of unused room right there.
A family of raccoons has set up home in Graffiti Alley. They're thriving in one of Toronto's most colourful corners — peak coexistence.
The 2003 blackout is on people's minds again. Some folks remember being kids, spending whole summers outside because there was no AC, using candles everywhere inside. Wild that an entire summer felt different because the power went out.
Anyone weighing up enrolling in a yoga class at the Toronto community centre? First-timer here wondering what the vibe's actually like—is it welcoming, affordable, good instruction?
Dragon Boat races went down today and Toronto showed up with fog. The skyline basically disappeared into the clouds as rain rolled through the city right after. That CN Tower vanishing-into-the-sky vibe hit different.
A police motorcade processed down Yonge Street today honouring recently slain Toronto Police officer Marc Pinizzotto. The procession drew significant attention across the city.
Downtown Toronto was looking absolutely surreal Sunday — the tower and buildings rising above a thick blanket of fog, like the city's floating in the sky. The kind of moment that makes you grab your phone even if you're late for brunch.
The teams are here. World Cup squads started touching down at YYZ Saturday around 8 p.m. as the tournament kicks into gear.
Friday's sunrise at the RC Harris Water Filtration Plant—Toronto's art deco gem—brought a simultaneous rainbow in the western skies and sunrise over Lake Ontario in the east. Malvern Collegiate students marked an annual end-of-school tradition, greeting the sunrise together.
Crazy scene at Gardener station around 3 a.m. Sunday — massive police presence on site. Still unclear what happened.
The polar bear at the zoo was pacing the same spot for 10+ minutes yesterday. Turns out that's actually a sign of anxiety and stress, not just funny to watch.
Traffic lights went out at Yonge-Dundas and someone just stepped up to manually direct traffic. City really does have people for everything.
Sports Illustrated ranked the World Cup host cities and Toronto landed No. 3. Vancouver's the top pick, but the 6ix made the podium.
Toronto's Na Me Res pow wow is back at Dufferin Grove Park. Gorgeous weather today for the fabulous event.
A Toronto judge handed down a firm sentence in a case involving racist threats, sending a public message that hate speech has real legal consequences in the city.
College Street's new pedestrian zone is packed, people are relaxed, and it's actually quiet without cars revving. The whole city needs more of this—and Church Street's pedestrianization starts next week.
Someone posted a photo of Stompin' Tom Connors performing "T.T.C. Skidaddler" at the Horseshoe Tavern back in 1973. Toronto music history right there.
Head out to 6895 Bramalea Rd around 9:30 p.m. any night and you'll catch a massive MD-11 getting loaded up, pushing back from the gate, firing up its three huge engines, and bathing you in hot jet exhaust as it taxis away. It smells intoxicating and costs nothing.
