A lot of people do a lot of weird stuff on the internet, and ground zero for commercial e-weirdness is Craigslist. In Declassified, Torontoist combs over our city’s listings to find the best (and worst) of the bunch.

Hanging out in parks is great this time of year, but actually finding friends across expansive playing fields, through stands of trees, and amongst crowds of other parkgoers can be tricky.
Toronto See abandoned bike. Paint it pretty orange. Delight neighbours. Get ticketed by the City. On one case of rule-enforcement gone awry...

The rules which govern and shape our public spaces are important. When things go well they help ensure a city that is safe, accessible, and welcoming. They provide for everything from curb cuts so that wheelchairs and strollers can travel streets easily to noise restrictions in residential neighbour

A-a-a-nd they're off! The unofficial provincial election season started with yesterday afternoon's dissolution of legislature, and Tim Hudak's Progressive Conservatives have busted out of the starting gate faster than you can say "Who's Tim Hudak?"

Toronto is home to a cornucopia of public art. Some of the pieces acknowledge an individual's greatness or are inspired by their surroundings; others are installed when developers want to exceed the height or density for which their building is zoned—the public art is a trade-off for being allowed a
Toronto The City knows enforcement of its graffiti bylaw isn't a solution, but until it finds a solution, it's going to keep on enforcing.

Mention a clown, and most people either experience (a) fear that out of its joke flower pin will spray a poisonous gas, destroying everything it touches as part of a diabolical plan to spread evil from birthday party to birthday party, or (b) an internal desire to do that themselves, just to spare t
