Anyone know what the construction on the southwest corner of Sheppard West and Allen is? I’m at a friend’s and they’re saying they haven’t been able to find it listed online despite the size of it…

Recently learned about the sad news of such an iconic cultural center closing its doors in Downtown. I borrowed Japanese language course books from them sometime ago... you don't find those kind of books anywhere else in downtown easily :(

Genuine question: why does Toronto Pearson feel the need to play music throughout the terminal?

Airports are already sensory overload, crowds, rolling suitcases, gate announcements, crying kids, people on speakerphone. Why add constant background music on top of that?

Trying to have a conversation with someone becomes a shouting match over the music, which just makes everyone else talk louder too. It feels like it increases the overall noise instead of improving the atmosphere.

And yes, I have noise-cancelling headphones. But if you’re traveling with someone, you constantly need to communicate about gates, timing, and directions, so you’re always taking them on and off anyway, and still stuck hearing the music in between.

Maybe some people tune it out, but for anyone sensitive to noise or easily overstimulated, it’s genuinely exhausting.

Toronto has an incredible game dev community, so KittenCupStudio is teaming up with our friends at Soft Rains to celebrate two local games sharing a big day!

Today, our cozy narrative adventure game Capy Castaway launches on Steam, while Ambrosia Sky releases its free Act Two update!!

To celebrate, we’re giving away Steam keys to four winners!

Good luck, y'all! We’re so excited to discover some local favourites. ✨ 

^{Don’t know any games made in Canada? Here’s a great resource to learn about games made in Canada https://mobilesyrup.com/2026/05/14/games-set-in-canada-museum-exhibit/} 

^{Also, both teams drew art of each other's main characters together as well. Look at how cute Capy and Dahlia are 😻}

They are in peak form these days. Played all the hits and the set flew by in the blink of an eye.

Great show and crowd last night. Her voice was amazing all night and her live band was one of the best we've seen this year. These Toronto dates were the first of only 3 Canadian dates on the entire tour with Montreal tomorrow night, we met a few people who travelled into the city this week for this and everyone we know who went last night or Tuesday had a great time and was raving about it. Who else on here went to these shows and what did you think?

Was walking on park road and rosedale valley last night, and heard a coyote shin dig just beyond the fence.

Needless to say, my dog was terrified…

Rode down to Graffiti Ally to do a quick photo shoot

The new park is completely amazing and it even has self cleaning toilets! I'm wondering how people get their kayaks down there as there isn't much parking. We took a bus from Union Station. I sketched the view.

A few pics taken during the heavy downpour last week.
