• Jenna Moon talks about her experience living and loving in a Church and Wellesley that is starting to feel dangerous, over at the Toronto Star.


• Toronto Life notes the lights of the Winter at Ontario Place festival, transforming the west island into a fantastical array of shapes at night. I must go see it.


• Toronto Life profiles Nations Experience, an immense supermarket in the former Target Canada space in the Junction's Stockyards that looks to be as much a tourist attraction as a store.


• One Toronto condo owner is interviewed criticizing the new restrictions on Airbnb. (I wonder what his neighbours think.) The Toronto Star reports.


• In Kleinburg, in Vaughan region, the definition of "detached home" has been rewritten to better enable development. The Toronto Star reports.
