Spacing will begin to publish daily headline links in the very near future (thanks to those who have lobbied for the feature’s return). We normally provided links to the mainstream media articles at the Star, Globe, Post, and Sun, but we want to also include more links to the numerous blogs about Toronto.
In the comment section of this post, please provide us with links to the blogs you like and read about Toronto issues (obvious ones like Torontoist, BlogTO, and ReadingToronto are already on our radar). They can be group blogs (ie: Metreoblogging Toronto) or personal blogs (stevemunro.ca who focuses on transit issues). Feel free to include your own blogs.

The best blog on Don River issues in the Toronto area is DonWatcher
http://donwatcher.blogspot.com/
An excellent resource of news on all things Don River
You might want to try out Martino’s Bike Lane Diary:

Heya! TasteTO http://www.tasteto.com deals with food in Toronto. Mostly restaurant reviews and such, but we also touch on any local issues to do with food such as street food vending, food banks, etc.
Hi there,
May I humbly submit our Toronto-based theatre company’s blog:
http://praxistheatre.blogspot.com/
The centrepiece of our content is the “10 questions” interview series, which recently hit its 50th interview milestone. Prominent Toronto-based theatre artists db young, Daniel MacIvor, Brendan Gall ande Christine Horne have all been interviewed (to name only a few), as well as arts admin folks such as Toronto Arts Council Executive Director Claire Hopkinson and Toronto Fringe Festival producer Bridget MacIntosh.
Please check it out when you get a chance.
Theatre, by its nature, is concerned with issues of space. It’s local. It’s live. And we love it.
We love Spacing, too!
Thanks.
Ian
Obviously, these sites have a cycling slant to them …
BikingToronto
(I’m a little biased about this one… haha)
Also:
BikeToronto.ca
Toronto Cranks
Take The Tooker
Bike Lane Diary was already mentioned above.
I’ve recently become a big fan of Richard Florida’s blog too: Creativity Exchange
I Bike TO
Mine.
I second Joe’s nomination of his blog.
And I’m also going to put forward IllegalSigns.ca. And the TPSC blog, which doesn’t exist yet, and may never exist, but if it does somehow come into being it should be included as well.
Oh, Posted Toronto, too. And Eye Daily.
Ok, here are my Toronto blogs in the works
TorontoBefore
Simtoronto
Aladone in the City
And
Metroblogging Toronto if it’s not there already…
Thanks 🙂
Move Smartly – Our Toronto neighbourhoods and real estate blog
http://www.movesmartly.com
Move Smartly is part chronicle and part guide. As writers, we are fascinated by the big questionsâ€â€urban planning, city politics, real estate industry developments and lifestyle trends, as well as the more immediate onesâ€â€getting onto (and up) the property ladder in Toronto
I can’t recall how I ended up on this site, it may have been from a spacing article but the “project for public spaces” website has great information that matches nicely with many of Spacing’s topics.

As well a link to Waterfront Toronto.

keep up the great work…
looking forward to reading the new Spacing Issue!
Not technically a blog, but many posts/threads from the Urban Toronto Forum should qualify.

My blog (greenlid.blogspot.com) focuses on news, information and resources for Landscape Architecture, Urbanism, Architecture, and Sustainability. I’m located in Toronto, so post a lot of Toronto-specific stuff. Think globally, act locally I suppose, would be the way it goes. I’d be honored to be listed on your site.
I have to nominate http://www.stylenorth.ca
A terrific daily dose of decorating and design news a la TO.
Toronto Before has some good historical photos and some before and after shots.
