Today was a private tour of Old Toronto. Duels, riots, brothels, murder, manure & booze…
Just meet on Saturday at 5pm at the foot of Yonge Street (NW corner of Queen’s Quay). Pay what you like! We’ll end near the foot of Bathurst around 7:30pm.
Today was a “Drama On The Shores of Humber Bay” tour for the LIFE Institute
This Saturday! A new walking tour exploring the dramatic history of the Toronto waterfront — shipwrecks, fire, war & plague. Just meet at the foot of Yonge Street at 5pm. Pay what you like!
They once sawed this church in half to move it. St Andrew By-The-Lake has been on the Toronto island for 142 years.
The summer of feeling very grateful that everyone seems to be requesting the “Death & Scandal on the Islands” tour continues…
Here to break the Home Run Jacket curse caused by my buying it to wear at Game Seven and it not arriving on time… Which I blame for everything that has happened since.
A plane from the island airport once crashed into this ferry. (Working on a newsletter post about it.)
Nice airport they’ve got out here. Just a shame it’s not way bigger and louder and more dangerous and more damaging to the environment around it while making it harder to build housing nearby. We should really get someone on that.
Today! Noon! The last of my free lunchtime Zoom lectures about tthe history of baseball in Toronto — hosted by the Toronto Public Library. Today we're talking about "The Birth of the Blue Jays & The Curse of the Seagull." Info & registration here: www.eventbrite.ca/e/toronto-ba...
This afternoon! 5pm! I’m leading a brand new tour — sort of a “greatest hits” of weird Toronto history stories. Clowns! Goats! Babies! Ghosts! Ypu can get tickets here: www.bizarretoronto.com
Last day of the Festival of Bizarre Toronto History AND of the MOTIVE Crime & Mystery Festival… I’m talking about Toronto’s Notorious Victorian Police Chief at MOTIVE at 11am… Then it’s a Bizarre Tour of Prospect Cemtery, my own Bizarre History of TO tour & finally: trivia! www.bizarretoronto.com
