[URBAN NOTE] Five Toronto links: Light Festival, film map, old factories, El Mocambo, suburb subway

• I am very pleased to learn that the Toronto Light Festival will return this winter to the Distillery District. blogTO reports.


• At NOW Toronto, Radheyan Simonpillai notes how a map showing film locations within Toronto also shows how some parts of the city--the most marginalized areas, generally--are almost entirely neglected.


• Many of the old factories abandoned in the inner suburbs, The Globe and Mail reports, are being repurposed. That's what has been happening on Dupont and Geary, to name two post-industrial streets particularly close to me.


• CBC Hamilton took a look at the Hamilton architects involved in the rehabilitation of Toronto's El Mocambo.


• blogTO shares, via r/Toronto, a half-satirical map of a Toronto subway system extending deep into the suburbs. I like the coverage, granted.
