[rfmcdonald]

• Urban Toronto shares a photo of Yonge Street in North York, taken more than a decade ago.


• The inhabitants of 650 Parliament Street will be displaced from their homes at least until April of 2019. The Toronto Star reports.


• Tess Kalinowski at the Toronto Star looks at efforts to change the culture and laws of Toronto and Canada to better support long-term renters, here.


• NOW Toronto reports on the latest plans on refurnishing venerable music hub El Mocambo, here.


• Aparita Bhandavi reports on how, after Nuit Blanche, outsiders to Scarborough are only now starting to recognize the vibrancy of culture there. (I am among this number, in truth.)
