11 h. ago Eglinton Crosstown LRT's September opening date looking less and less likely

While much headway has been made toward opening Toronto's Eglinton Crosstown LRT in September as expected, it's starting to look like the 13.5-year-long project may be delayed even further as we get closer to the fall.The regional transit agency's move to hand the line over to the TTC two weeks ago was generally considered an indication that locals were finally on the verge of getting to ride the problem-plagued line, which was initially scheduled to launch in 2020.Prior to that big announcement, signage had already appeared along Eglinton explaining that bus stops were being "updated in preparation for" the LRT's inauguration, and TTC staff were re-deployed and re-trained along the route.Though internal budgets anticipated a summer 2025 debut, anonymous sources recently cited a September 2025 opening, though with the caveat that "an eleventh-hour problem" during ...

12 h. ago Shuttered Toronto Mexican spot reopens in new location with beer garden

A Toronto restaurant from one of the city’s most well-regarded chefs has just been replaced with a new Mexican restaurant and beer garden.It was the closure heard around the city when renowned Toronto chef, Anthony Rose, decided to close the doors on Fet Zun, the quasi-sister location to Toronto's much-loved Fat Pasha.Okay, maybe it wasn't quite that big of a deal, but it still came as a shock to the scores of Annex locals who frequented the restaurant.Boasting a massive indoor footprint, as well as ample backyard space (which housed Madame Boeuf and Flea, its burger pop-up) and a spacious front patio, the restaurant, despite being open year-round, was particularly a summertime staple.Lingering dormant since Fet Zun's closure in December of 2024, the question loomed large as to what would replace it for months. What could possibly be worthy of the prized piece of Dupont real estate?Now, we finally have an answer.As of June 27, Fet Zun's old locat...
