3 h. ago Impressive Toronto proposal might actually be a place people can afford to live

Declining housing prices have, thus far, failed to bring Toronto homes back to a level where the average resident can afford to purchase, but even people just scraping by might soon be able to call this striking new development home.CreateTO, an agency that manages the City's real estate assets, has applied to bring an impressive new complex to an underutilized site next to Fairbank Station on the still-unopened Eglinton Crosstown LRT.The new two-building complex from Montgomery Sisam Architects at 9 Shortt St. (no, that isn't a typo) aims to transform a City-owned parking lot with a 41-storey tower and a six-storey mid-rise.The August rezoning application comes roughly four years after the site was first identified as one of 39 potential affordable housing sites under City ownership in 2021 — part of a broader plan to leverage property assets and inject thousands of affordable rentals into the local housing market.CreateTO revealed the design for the project this summ...

3 h. ago A groovy new pizza place is replacing a neighbourhood favourite in Toronto

A Toronto restaurant that was a local favourite is about to be replaced by a trendy new pizza joint.Toronto is riddled with so-called "hidden gems:" those if-you-know-you-know spots good enough to contend with the most buzzworthy of institutions that, for whatever reason, go virtually undetected by people outside the neighbourhood.For Harbord Village residents, up until February of 2025, one such spot was Borden Street's Think It Cafe.A cozy, homey cafe that served up Italian paninis, baked goods from Amico Chef and coffee, Think It stood as a certified neighbourhood staple for seven years before a series of obstacles piled up high enough for the cafe to ultimately close its doors.There's good news on the horizon for the neighbourhood, though: a new venture is preparing to keep up the Italian tradition in Think It Cafe's former home at 196 Borden St., albeit with a different dish.    View this post on Instagram    &n...

A Toronto ice cream shop that took over for one of the city's best is closing permanently after less than a year in business.It was a loss for the ages, back in late October of 2024, when Moss Park's Creamery X announced it would be closing down for good.The ice cream shop, located at the, shall we say, colourful intersection of Queen and Jarvis, gained a major reputation during its short-and-sweet four-year run thanks to its next-level flavours, which included a selection of vegan and gluten-free ice creams.The shop officially closed at the end of October last year and was instantaneously replaced by a new, but deeply similar venture, Pink Elephant Creamery. There's good reason for why, exactly, the two ice cream shops were so similar.Upon the transfer of ownership from Creamery X to Pink Elephant, all of Creamery X's award-winning recipes were transferred to Urvin. It was a great deal for Creamery X's enthusiastic local fanbase, who would still be abl...
