Torontoist The real tragedy of Adam Giambrone's situation: we still feel the need for political spouses. Agree?

torontoist.com
Most of us woke up this morning to the news that TTC chair and mayoral candidate Adam Giambrone (Ward 18, Davenport) was apologizing for an "inappropriate relationship" he had been having for the past year or so with a young woman who was not his live-in partner. ...

Torontoist Some Valentine's Day ideas... from 1960.

Why does nobody exchange "sick" cards anymore? Apparently they were trendy.

torontoist.com
Valentine’s Day is less than a week away—have you selected a special card, a heart-shaped trinket, or a generic box of chocolates yet? Stereotypical gifts to suit every degree of thoughtfulness, or lack ...

Torontoist Are you planning to write a TTC rant? Pay special attention: BOB Kinnear is TTC union pres; GREG Kinnear is Meg Ryan's ex in You've Got Mail.

Here are all the people who got it wrong:

torontoist.com
Bob Kinnear is the president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113—a perennially unpopular head of the TTC employees' union back in the news after members hinted at a work-to-rule campaign in response to their being "harassed" by riders who were taking their photographs. ...

Torontoist Yuck, look how dirty this scale model of Toronto in City Hall is:

torontoist.com
There's a scale model of downtown Toronto off to the side of the busy first-floor rotunda at City Hall, right in the path of visitors. It's massive and meticulously detailed. It's a nice tribute to the city. And, we were reminded when an anonymous tip landed in our inbox, it's rarely cleaned.

Torontoist Did Mildred's *really* encourage people to have sex in their bathrooms? We had a chat with the co-owner.

"I understood viral before, but now I really understand viral."

"I understood viral before, but now I really understand viral," Kevin Gallagher told us yesterday while sitting at the bar at Mildred's Temple Kitchen, the highly respected restaurant he co-owns with his wife, executive chef Donna Dooher. ...

Torontoist A TTC trip planner showdown: in one corner, MyTTC.ca, the independent site created by two developers a year and a half ago. In the other, the TTC's own official trip planner, unveiled this week. This is gonna get ugly.

torontoist.com
The TTC's new trip planner is finally online, and feedback is mixed. It probably doesn't help that the TTC's own planner has a predecessor that's been standing in for a year and a half now to serve the function it didn't: MyTTC.ca. ...

Advantage myTTC because it doesn't cost the taxpayer a fortune.Why should the taxpayer fund a site that frankly isn't that great and doesn't really do the job it was supposed to do.It amazes me how so many computer geeks are in the NDP and can't seem to accomplish the simplest tasks for the city.Especially since the plethora of grants to so many groups seems to have shown a poor investment on the part of council.

Torontoist A crazy idea? A new indie bookstore is *opening* on College. But they're doing more than selling books.

(Also, take note of their name: "Of Swallows, Their Deeds, & the Winter Below".)

torontoist.com
Coming out of a year that saw one long-standing institution buried and another putting out a last-ditch S.O.S., you’d be crazy to get into the independent bookselling business in Toronto right now.

Torontoist The TTC's Trip Planner is now online, offically, ready for the public's consumption—in beta. We tried out an earlier version of it and concluded it wasn't ready for the public, but we've been told this version has been tweaked. Only one way to find out: go use it, and then tell us how it's working (or not working).

The TTC's trip planner is now online, officially, a little over a week after an early version of it first appeared online—a version which we used extensively and concluded wasn't ready for the public.

seems difficult to use and very confusing.Besides if you want to use this on the go you have to carry your laptop around.Use a portable gps,with street maps transit loaded,much easier and more precise

Torontoist Do you cycle downtown? Lots in the works for 2010.

Also, Spadina might be getting proper sharrows instead of the uselessly narrow curb lines. Also, University Avenue may get separated bike lanes!

torontoist.com
If city cycling staff get their way, downtown will be transformed by cycling projects in 2010. Partly to accommodate the planned launch of the public bike program and partly to address concerns over the ...
