New housing at a former 1940s bombing and gunnery school in Picton, Ont. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I remember having a high-school debate with friends: had we been born 40 or 50 years earlier, what role would we have wanted during the Second World War? While almost no one chose the Canadian Army, the debate over being in the Royal Canadian Navy or the Royal Canadian Air Force was fierce: on a ship, friends argued, you had a chance to jump into the water to save yourself, while being trapped in a metal box hurtling through the air didn’t leave much hope if one’s engines failed. But, as I stand
A walk through Toronto’s Canary District reveals that architecture with charm is still possible (opens the original)

“It’s a by-the-book, best practice neighbourhood,” says Smart Density co-founder Naama Blonder as she walks across Front Street East toward the Canadian National Railway Police Building (1923, James, Proctor and Redfern). Bicycle lanes, exactly two automobile lanes and a streetcar right-of-way are all noted as we reach the wider-than-average sidewalk and continue east past the Cooper Koo Family Cherry Street YMCA and pause beside the colourful, slanted legs of the Lucie and Thornton Blackburn Co

Read excerpt
In the booming, consumer-happy year of 1955, auto maker Dodge introduced the “La Femme,” billed as the “first and only car designed for Your Majesty, the modern American woman.” An option package offered on the Royal Lancer model, the La Femme came in one colour: pink, with interiors of pink jacquard fabric peppered with little rosebuds. For ease of driveability, everything that could be powered – steering, brakes, windows – was. And each purchaser was gifted with a lipstick case, cigarette ligh
A new living room (and bar) in the new Mirvish Village (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Despite the few drops of rain, curious Torontonians were exploring the new Mirvish Village. And it is new. Right now, metal barricades block off some properties, orange traffic cones prevent tripping on uneven pavement, and Tom Freeman, co-owner of Book Bar, points to Pizzeria Badiali as the only other comrade-in-arms to get its doors open this year in what was, once, the kitschiest corner of Toronto. It’s good to finally see life return, I say to Mr. Freeman. I’ve been watching the site since “
