5 d. ago Festival featuring hundreds of exotic cars taking over a Toronto street this spring

One of Toronto's most cherished car events is gearing up to make its great return this spring, marking the 15th annual iteration of the event.I've said it before, and I'll say it again: street festivals are one of the — if not the — best part(s) of spring and summer in Toronto. The knowledge that weekends filled with time spent aimlessly ogling vendor booths and crushing street barbecue just sends a shiver down my spine. We've still got some time yet before the peak of street festival season hits, though, which means that, for now, the announcements of festivals to come are enough to keep me going, and the latest across the airwaves is the return of the Yorkville Exotic Car Show this June.Screeching into one of the city's swankiest neighbourhoods on Father's Day, the show is marking its 15th year in style, with a dazzling array of spectacular vehicles taking over Bloor Street for one (hopefully) sunny day only.You can expect to see a staggering red-carpet ...

3 w. ago Disgusting blob of living slime found in Toronto's new engineered river

You know that unsettling feeling you get when you're swimming in a freshwater body, and some underwater plant grazes your foot? Well, what if I told you that researchers recently found a wriggling, fist-sized blob of slime at the artificially forged mouth of Toronto's Don River? And what if I added on the fact that this slimy specimen is actually an entire colony of living things?Hopefully I didn't catch you right at lunchtime with this information, but the facts remain — there's a living slime monster lurking in a Toronto waterway. Okay, maybe I got a little too ominous there, as this living mass of goop found in the new mouth of the Don is nothing to fear, and is actually a sign that the engineered waterway is developing into a healthy river mouth.It may look like a jellyfish species ready to deliver a potent sting, but this ball of gelatinous life is totally harmless.Waterfront Toronto reported the discovery of a bryozoan colony living in the mouth of the Don...
