1 hour ago Embattled Eglinton Crosstown LRT's social media accounts have fallen silent for months

Anyone looking for a progress update on Toronto's Eglinton Crosstown LRT in recent weeks has unfortunately been out of luck, as Metrolinx has resigned itself to silence on not just a potential opening date, but seemingly anything to do with the project.The transit agency has stopped sharing information on any of the social media accounts associated with the ill-fated, many-times-delayed line — now in its 14th year of construction — with the most recent posts on the Crosstown's Instagram, X and Facebook accounts dating back to September 2024.That post, shared across platforms, included a video explaining the "right in, right out" traffic rules that will come into play along Eglinton. It was just one of a handful of clips Metrolinx had created to better educate the public about the design and other features of the forthcoming east-west route.    View this post on Instagram      &...

2 hours ago NHL legend shares memories of 'intense' Toronto Maple Leafs fans at local diner

Long before John Tavares, Joe Thornton, or Patrick Marleau became the Canadian superstars signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs, another eventual Hall of Famer decided to take his talents to the Blue and White in free agency.In 2005, Eric Lindros signed a one-year deal with Toronto, with the first overall pick in the 1991 draft and the 1995 Hart Trophy winner returning home for what ended up being his penultimate NHL season.Chatting with Nick Alberga and former Leafs forward Jay Rosehill on Leafs Morning Take this week, the 2016 Hall of Fame inductee opened up about his time in Toronto."They were short," Lindros said about his negotiations to sign with the Leafs. "Just to come back and play in Toronto, I wish I had done it earlier and healthier. I loved playing in Toronto, it was always a dream. You grow up around here, it's all about the blue and white, and I wanted to experience it. I was fortunate enough to have a chance at the end."Lindros ended up putting up 11 goals and 11 assi...

24 hours ago Toronto comedy club with 290 online reviews is just a room in some guy's house

While the old saying claims there are no small parts (just small performers), it failed to mention anything about venues, and one "comedy club" in Toronto — if you can even call it that — is proving that there absolutely are, in fact, small spots.Confession time: I've dipped my toes into the comedy world once or twice in my time, and from open mics to improv shows, one thing — aside from my propensity to absolutely bomb — remains fairly consistent; the creativity required to transform a space into a comedy club.Aside from the professional spots who've refined the comedy-going experience to be as absolutely palatable to mainstream consumers as possible (think Yuk Yuk's, Second City, Absolute Comedy), other comedy venues across the city tend to fly a little more under the radar for those who aren't, as we in the comedy biz say, "on the scene."It can be all too easy, therefore, to fall into some debaucherous pit (more likely a bar basement or weird bac...

Kensington Market is one of the few corners of downtown Toronto that has managed to evade redevelopment against all odds, its one-way streets still home to the recognizable, varying facades that have housed some of the same small businesses for decades.But, while many may think the pocket spanning Dundas to College Street just west of Spadina is immune to the reaches of gentrification, it doesn't actually have adequate heritage protections to prevent flashy, high-density new condos from popping up and antagonizing to the vibe that has always characterized the neighbourhood.Few things revealed the recent risk to the district more than a 2023 proposal that aimed to refashion a $24 million stretch of Victorian semi-detached homes and businesses along Kensington Ave. into a mid-rise building — something not out of the realm of possibilities per Toronto's Official Plan, which only asks that new development be consiste...
