4 h. ago Iconic Toronto snack window is back after closure some worried was permanent

Toronto locals devastated by the closure of a snack window that had long served as a summer go-to in the Cabbagetown neighbourhood will be happy to know that the independent shop is back.The 1872-built gingerbread storefront of Park Snacks is iconic for many reasons, from the ice cream and hot dogs it serves up exclusively during the summer months, to the adorably retro aesthetic it brings to the block, to what it stands for as one of the city's few side street businesses.But, anyone eager to hit up the independent business when spring 2024 rolled around was crestfallen to find it shuttered — which some understandably may have thought to be for good, given that it had been put up for sale at the end of the previous summer."With the building for sale, I pulled out at the end of the 2023 season and did not open in 2024," operator Bernard Dunford, who has been involved with the community staple since 1999, explains to blogTO.With Toronto'...

4 h. ago Giant bridge under construction will soon join iconic Toronto skyline view

The iconic skyline view enjoyed from the Leaside Bridge over the Don Valley will soon be even more dynamic, as the early stages of construction advance for what will likely prove one of the most significant bridges ever built in Toronto.Under construction since 2024, the new Don Valley Crossing bridge will play an integral role in the future Ontario Line subway — a 15.6-kilometre transit route linking the upcoming Eglinton Crosstown LRT in the north with Exhibition Place in the south.Serving 15 new stations, including a stretch through the heart of downtown, the line will include a combined underground and above-grade right-of-way that will cross the Don Valley (and the Don Valley Parkway) twice along its route. This routing requires two separate bridges to carry trains across the valley.While the smaller Lower Don Bridge, which will cross the Don River in the West Don Lands and Riverside neighbourhoods, is set to be the more visually flashy of the two crossings, boa...

4 h. ago Toronto subway stations actually had a smart design until the TTC ruined it

Sometimes sticky and often dreary, for better or worse, Toronto’s subway stations have a distinct look to them that can sometimes feel a bit random.But, despite the harsh fluorescent lights and brutalist feeling, the TTC originally designed its stations with purpose and reason — before throwing it all out the window.Recently, the Youtuber Not Smooth Steve dug into the little-known history of the TTC colour coding that used to define the city's stations."I've known about the colour code for many years and don't recall where I first heard of it,” Steve tells blogTO. "It's just one of those weird things you never really think about, but once you know it exists, you can't help but see it!"Thanks to Steve, we now have an overview of how subway stations used to look in Toronto and, with a little cursory research, what exactly went wrong.The OG colour schemeThe station look for Toronto's subway was simple: clean lines,...

One of Toronto's most prominent seasonal events, which is regularly ranked one of the best of its kind in the world and draws nearly a million people to the city's most historic neighbourhood each year, may look a whole lot different in 2025.Any local looking to get into the holiday spirit come wintertime knows to hit up the Distillery Winter Village, which takes over the district's cobblestone streets with festive food and drink, charming vendor stalls reminiscent of a European holiday market, a monumental Christmas tree, and all sorts of activations and photo ops.While it has always taken place around the end of December, the event has greatly expanded both in scope and length in recent years, going from just 10 days in its inaugural iteration to more than seven weeks —  running seven days a week — by 2024.Despite the event in many ways putting the unique pocket of the city on t...
