This past June Sean McCormick took the local sports world by surprise when he announced a career change - and immediately began campaigning for Joe Pantalone's soon to be vacant seat in Ward 19 Trinity-Spadina.

Local Toronto entrepreneurs like Harry Rosen have built their business around the idea that men want tailored clothing and high-quality fabrics. Traditionally it has been an in-store endeavor -- getting your measurements taken in a dimly-lit back room.

As far as Toronto book club meetups go, the Nutmeg Pantry, a charming little family-run bakeshop in Scarborough, was definitely the place to be on Tuesday night if you like to drown your sorrows in the bottom of a glass of milk filled with cookie dregs.

The inside might look like a kitschy French foodcourt at Canada's Wonderland but this recently re-branded Korean restaurant just steps from City Hall knows how to feed a lunch crowd.

It would appear that a malicious crazy has made an attempt to harm dogs and/or dog-owners in Toronto.

This kind of thing isn't new in the city, but it's equally disturbing and alarming each time nonetheless.

BIXI bikes made their official Toronto debut last night at the public subscription launch party at the Gladstone Hotel.

122-124 Peter Street has been vacant for over a year now. Outside the cracking grey building with white trim is a yard of overgrown weeds and a "for sale" sign.

A new bar has taken over the space of Veda's Indian restaurant near Church and Maitland. Gone are the curry burritos and in their place are well made cocktails, candelight, DJs and a re-defined front patio.
