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.

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...
