This unique look is exactly why it stars as the primary backdrop in "The Handmaid’s Tale" TV series, where its preserved steeples and riverside floodwalls effortlessly double as Gilead. (3/3) #HandmaidsTale

The area boasts a timeless, old-world vibe, built on a tight grid of grand limestone buildings and European-style bridges that make you feel like you've stepped back in time. (2/3) #Architecture

Nestled along the banks of the Grand River, Galt is the historic and cultural heart of Cambridge, Ontario. It’s a stunning masterclass in walkable, 19th-century urbanism. (1/3) #GaltON

By ditching the mall-centric model, Etobicoke might just end up building a more organic, walkable community than Mississauga or Scarborough ever did. (3/3) #UrbanDesign

The roads here are still stubbornly wide, but by bypassing the classic suburban mega-mall blueprint, this redevelopment is aiming for something different. (2/3) #TorontoUrbanism

Etobicoke’s identity crisis is finally catching up with its future. The Six Points area is undergoing a massive transformation to give this former city a real downtown "centre"—complete with a new civic hub, condos, and public housing. (1/3) #Etobicoke

Fox demonstrated impeccable market timing with this deal. The combination of relatively inexpensive broadcast rights and surging viewership has resulted in staggering returns. www.mediapost.com/publications...

Always good to see #TPL expanding... www.waterfrontoronto.ca/news/new-tor...

Once Brooklyn Furniture Emporium (a 1958 mid-century landmark with Mad Men vibes), this spot is now abandoned. A developer bought it for condos, went into receivership with $28M in debt, and recently listed it for $1 just as a marketing gimmick to spark a bidding war.

Great series @urbantoronto.bsky.social! I just wish @mayoroliviachow.ca would make it central to her reelection bid. #TTC urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/06...

Walking around Little Manila, grabbing piping-hot morning pandesal, and trying new foods with great friends. Toronto's food and migration history is unmatched. If you haven't explored Bathurst and Wilson yet, you're missing out. #HeritageToronto (3/3)

To top off the history tour, my friend Jed took me for an authentic Pinoy lunch. He took the reins and ordered a massive feast of things I never would have known to try on my own—including surprisingly yummy pig intestines! 🍢 🔥 #PinoyFood (2/3)

Heritage Toronto’s "Meals and Migration" walking tour is a fascinating learn on how the Bathurst & Wilson intersection transformed from a post-war Russian-Jewish enclave into the vibrant Little Manila hub we know today, largely shaped by Filipino live-in caregivers. 🇨🇦 🇵🇭 #HeritageToronto (1/3)

Which means paying for what used to be free—classic enshittification. That said, CBC has essentially lent its terrestrial network to Rogers for a decade without seeing a dime of revenue for it. That free ride had to end eventually. #CBC

It’s definitely a reminder to actually walk down that alley you always just walk by. You never know what kind of hidden gems you'll find when you take the scenic route. #HiddenInPlainSight (3/3)

The artists here really treat the city as their canvas, using the local walls and architecture in ways you wouldn't expect. Love seeing this level of creativity on display. #StreetArt (2/3)

For this part of the art crawl, we headed mostly east of The Village into Cabbagetown. #CabbagetownTO (1/3)

That’s it for part one—stay tuned because part two of the tour is dropping next! 🏙️✨ #MixtPaints (3/3)

It is seriously worth checking out if you want to discover a hidden, unapologetically political side of Toronto and learn the radical history behind the murals. Local art at its absolute finest. 🎨✊ #ChurchWellesleyVillage (2/3)

Highly recommend the queer street art crawl by @mixtpaints! Took a little detour through Toronto's Village with some work colleagues and learned so much about the incredible artists and technical styles shaping our city’s walls. 🌈👀 #TorontoStreetArt (1/3)

Not only is Princess Stella absolutely lovely, but her views of Toronto aren’t half bad either. #igersToronto (2/2)

Skyline feline! 🏙️ 🐈‍⬛ Always a pleasure cat-sitting this sweet girl a few times a year. #CatsOfInstagram (1/2)

Today, the space serves a unique dual purpose: its soaring, light-filled ground floor acts as a flexible public event venue—anchored by the historic Farmers’ Market on weekends—sitting directly beneath modern municipal courtrooms on the upper floors. #ExploreTO #RichardRodgers (3/3)

The new building faced a massive decade-long construction delay after excavation crews unearthed the foundations of Toronto's previous 19th-century markets, including an extensive stone-capped sewer drainage system dating back to the 1830s. #OldTownToronto #TorontoHistory (2/3)

My seventh and final #DOT26 stop this year is Toronto’s newly transformed St. Lawrence Market North. While a public market has occupied this historic plot since 1803, this striking new orange-and-glass structure by legendary "starchitect" Richard Rogers only recently reopened in Spring 2025. (1/3)

Today, the historic mansion lives on as Foy House: a vibrant sanctuary, studio, and gallery space. It has transformed from a relic of the past into a thriving hub for independent Toronto artists to create, collaborate, and showcase their work. #TorontoArt (3/3)

Did you know a young Neil Young once lived next door to the mansion at 88 Isabella Street? While trying to break into the iconic 1960s Yorkville folk scene, he drew inspiration from the neighborhood—later immortalizing the street in his classic song “Ambulance Blues.” #TorontoHistory (2/3)

Nestled in Toronto’s Church-Wellesley Village, the historic Foy-Smith House is an 1888 late-Victorian survivor. Designed by Langley and Burke in the Queen Anne Revival style, this gorgeous mansion evolved from a high-society home into a legendary stop for local ghost tours and séances. #TOD26 (1/3)

The Corleck (housed in a stunningly revitalized art-deco building next to the Canada Malting Silos) is designed to be a vibrant indoor venue for arts and culture. Maybe one day I will actually be allowed inside to see it! #TheCorleck (3/3)
