Yes, Masselli's is lovely, and one of the last Italian grocers remaining on the Danforth. There was a sizeable Italian community on the Danforth, particularly between Greenwood and Woodbine, in the 70s and 80s. A few cafes and social clubs remain.

The tariffs could take a huge bite out of Canada's tech darling Shopify, which dominates the drop shipping industry.

Danforth Pizza, purportedly the longest running pizzeria in Toronto, is celebrating its 60th year. https://www.danforthpizza.com/

It will get a lot of opposition from the local residents' association who have kicked up a fight for *much* smaller things...

Did Harris actually pander to campus liberals? Save for abortion, which has a majority of voters' support, and trans rights, she ran a very safe, centrist campaign. Trump held the standard Democratic position on Gaza, offered no big budget universal programs, and tried to out-Trump Trump on the...

Sort of like a mini-Aura. Looks cool from afar but mediocre up-close.

This is the third pedestrian collision in the GTHA involving school buses since June: https://www.thestar.com/news/woman-seriously-injured-in-hit-and-run-involving-school-bus-in-richmond-hill/article_629a6f62-9c4e-11ef-afea-b37eeff2914f.html Two other incidents...

Based purely on vibes (ok, and some early exit polls), I think it'll be a slim Harris victory.

Toronto police cracking down on unsafe e-bike operators https://toronto.citynews.ca/2024/11/04/toronto-police-cracking-down-on-unsafe-e-bike-operators/

Yes, I expect Chernos Lin to be on Team Chow on most issues. Given the high amount of development in her ward, and its many influential residents associations, I’d be surprised if she gains many fans from Team UrbanToronto. 😆

Rachel Chernos Lin wins the byelection in Don Valley West. Toronto Elections

Great analysis @AlexBozikovic and @Northern Light. The large building footprints are my biggest worry. While I'm generally happy with the Canary District, the large and wide massing at times make the buildings and street feel sterile and institutional. A break up of the size and shape of...

With the byelection this Monday, I give Furey the slight advantage over Chernos Lin, based purely on vibes. As is the case with most council races, it appears to be a proxy battle between party machines, with the PC/CPC brass backing Furey, and local Liberals behind Chernos Lin. I’m definitely...

Today.

Yeah, those stairs are an embarrassment. Both aesthetically and for accessibility.

Oakville Public Library has announced a new branch on the ground floor. https://halton.insauga.com/new-public-library-in-north-oakville-condo-approved/

Hamilton really seems subject to some of the ugliest new builds in the GHTA, especially any projects by Vrancor. Thankfully the King William looks nice.

It won't stop it from being nicknamed "Lower Riverside" or "East Distillery" by the time the MLS listings pop up. Is there a plan to rename the neighbouring McCleary District?

Building shelters and supportive housing, repairing schools, expediting transit construction, properly funding post-secondary institutions, etc. etc.

It's the only real green space on The Danforth between the Alexander the Great Parkette and East Lynn Park, which is pretty remarkable. I agree that the some sort of programming, led by the BIA, local arts org, etc., would add some life to the parkette.
