[URBAN NOTE} Six Toronto links: HQ2, social capital, ravines, Yonge/Bloor, Port Lands, Eastern Ave

[rfmcdonald]

• CBC notes that Toronto probably did well by not getting picked as the home of the potentially overwhelming Amazon HQ2.


• Happily, Toronto's stockpile of social capital in different neighbourhoods does not seem to be diminishing. The Toronto Star reports.


• Francine Kopun reports on the problems facing the ecologies of the Toronto ravine system, and how these parks might be helped, over at the Toronto Star.


• blogTO shares a series of photos of Yonge and Bloor, running more than eight decades up to 2005. (I miss that intersection.)


• Urban Toronto notes how the development of the Port Lands is literally creating a new coastline for Toronto.


• blogTO suggests that Eastern Avenue, east of the Don, is set to become the next development hotspot in Toronto.
