• blogTO argues East Chinatown, at Broadview and Gerrard, is an up-and-coming neighbourhood.


• East-end Toronto, from Leslieville to points east, definitely is up-and-coming. The Globe and Mail reports.


• It looks like the Kirby GO Station was approved for political reasons, not because of actual local need. The Toronto Star reports.


• Steve Munro notes that, on the 23rd, the TTC Overhead Shop will have an open house explaining the streetcars' pantograph.


• In July, Torontoist looked at Toronto architect Eden Smith, connected to the Arts and Crafts Movement in Canada.
