• Will gentrification undermine Chinatown, downtown on Spadina Avenue? Global News reports.


• The Golden Mile of Scarborough, along Eglinton Avenue, is set to be radically transformed by development. blogTO reports.


• Oh, why not allow for the sale of beer at some convenience stores in TTC stops? blogTO has it.


• Alireza Nareghi looks in MacLean's at the threat posed to the ravine environments of Toronto by invasive species, and at what is being done to save them.
