17 h. ago Toronto's artificial peninsula set to keep growing for decades

Toronto's man-made peninsula, the Leslie Street Spit, is still growing, and will be for the next few decades to come as dredged material from the city's harbour continues to be deposited along its shoreline.Created in 1959 by the Toronto Harbour Commissioners (THC), now PortsToronto, for "port-related facilities," the Leslie Street Spit's expected use as an outer harbour port never panned out, yet the landform has expanded significantly through millions of cubic metres of concrete, earth fill, and dredged sand, and today supports Tommy Thompson Park.The artificial peninsula extends five kilometres into Lake Ontario and is over 500 hectares in size. The park is home to some of the largest existing natural habitats on the Toronto waterfront, and includes wildflower meadows, cottonwood forests, cobble beaches, and coastal marshes.Aerial view of the Leslie Street Spit in 1975.

17 h. ago Restaurant known for Toronto's best jerk chicken opens second location

A hidden gem Toronto Caribbean restaurant that's gained a reputation for serving the best jerk chicken in the city has finally expanded with a new location.Leslieville's Gerrard Square Shopping Centre is one of those if-you-know-you-know places in Toronto that make the city so unique.For my part, the mall always carried a sort of looming, ominous air. Probably because my parents used to joke that they'd leave me there whenever I behaved badly growing up, but I digress. The mall's inescapable 'Gerrard Scare' and 'Scary Square' nicknames just go to show that I'm not the only one.More recently, though, the mall's been getting a renewed wave of respect — even popularity — as more and more people in the city flock to it for, more or less, one reason: the food.The mall food court has seen several buzzworthy tenants come and go over the past few years, but its main claim to fame, in my opinion at least, has a...

17 h. ago That time rock legend Jimi Hendrix was put on trial in Toronto

Toronto has seen its fair share of music stars roll through Pearson Airport over the decades, but no one has made an entrance quite like rock and roll legend Jimi Hendrix.Landing at Toronto International Airport (now Pearson) ahead of a sold-out 1969 show at Maple Leaf Gardens, Hendrix was stopped by customs for a suspicious substance found in his luggage.What followed was a surreal mix of courtroom drama, fan frenzy, and, despite the arrest, an unforgettable show from the legendary guitar god.The lead-upDetailed in the book Hendrix: Setting the Record Straight by John McDermott, it was on May 3, 1969, when Jimi Hendrix and the Experience came to Toronto from Detroit — where whispers of a drug bust surrounded them.Brushing off the suggestion of drug possession, the "Purple Haze" artist was pulled aside by security who suspected him of having "illicit substances" in his bag.After creating a mobile test lab, it was found that the substances in ...

17 h. ago See how Toronto demolished and rebuilt a huge stretch of the Gardiner Expressway

The long-term rebuild of Toronto's Gardiner Expressway has faced its fair share of criticism for contributing to the city's traffic woes, but it's actually a heck of an impressive undertaking if you're able to look past the frustrating lane closures and incessant gridlock.A new time-lapse video has condensed the frenzied construction for the first two sections of the Gardiner Expressway Strategic Rehabilitation Plan's latest phase, covering a stretch extending from Dufferin Street — a project the City recently announced would be completed far ahead of schedule.The video from local photographer Kotsy covers construction on the stretch of highway just north of Exhibition Place from 2024 to 2025, shortened into a digestible 3.5-minute watch time.Kotsy tells blogTO that the drone-captured views of the project were aligned using a couple of different methods. "The first captures (in the second half of the video) were done using save points, but I reali...

17 h. ago Trippy Ontario house that looks like a 1970s time capsule is going for $4.5M

It may be 2025, but stepping into 6800 Second Line W. in Mississauga feels like falling headfirst into a lava lamp.This trippy time capsule appears to have been pulled straight from 1970, complete with psychedelic wallpaper.We're talking zigzag patterns that make the walls look like they're melting, linoleum tiles so loud they practically scream, and a wood-panelled basement rec room that looks ready to host a Bee Gees listening party.The foyer. This home has never been on the market before, so it's no surprise it's in need of some serious modernization.The dining room. But if you can see past the retro riot of textures and colours, there's actually a ton of potential here.The land. Not only does the home offer four bedrooms and four bathrooms, but it sits on nearly an acre of land.So much room for activities. According to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation, half of that could be subdivided into two separate lots, each measuring a s...
