16 h. ago It's been 10 years since a dead Toronto raccoon captured hearts around the world

Ten years have passed since the famous dead Toronto raccoon incident, where the little critter and its shrine stole our hearts.It was on July 9, 2015, at the corner of Church and Yonge when the little dude, affectionately named Conrad, met his untimely death and became an instant icon in the city's lore.It took a whole 14 hours before the City's animal services came and scooped up the raccoon's lifeless body — and in that time, the internet, the city, and others around the world celebrated his trash panda life and mourned its untimely end.The whole saga started when the City was alerted via Twitter (it was still Twitter back then) that Conrad had met his maker. But as the day passed, poor Conrad's carcass continued to melt in the hot July sun as mourners stopped to pay their respects.The sidewalk memorial is growing, @311Toronto.

18 h. ago Notorious 'dead' mall in Toronto is kicking out its few remaining tenants

It's hard to imagine while walking through Toronto's Cumberland Terrace today that the Yorkville mall was once a stylish, bustling shopping destination that people made a point to visit rather than simply passed through on their way to someplace else.Opened in 1974, the two-level centre has more than 60 storefronts that have, over the decades, served as home to everything from high-end clothing shops and hair salons to furniture and flower stores, restaurants and an LCBO.As of recent years, though, most of the units have emptied out, lending a decidedly eerie quality to the more than 80,000-square-foot space that is still rife with the quintessentially '70s design elements that defined its long-gone heyday.Though tenants have witnessed the mall gradually winding down before their eyes and have long been aware of plans to eventually redevelop the property, there was never a firm expiration date on the horizon for them to pre...
