On May 1, 1972, Muhammad Ali and George Chuvalo met in the ring for the second time. Ali predicted he would drop Chuvalo, but Chuvalo proved once again to be one of the most formidable opponents Ali ever faced. This is the story of Ali-Chuvalo II. 📸 AP 🧵 1/6

Two men downwind foiling off the coast of California got an unexpected surprise when a curious shark began to narrowly follow one of them.

With all the talk about pedestrianizing parts of downtown Toronto, it seems like a good time to resurrect an old "Historicist" column about the Yonge Street Mall of the 1970s. #TOHistory #TOpoli jamiebradburnwriting.wordpress.com/2026/04/30/t...

Looks like the seasonal 9 hole course at Woodbine Park is getting pulled out this coming Monday. Its been a great winter season of discgolf at this new course, thanks @toronto.ca Parks and Foresty. Until next winter Woodbine. #discgolf #discgolfTO #parksTO #Toronto

Jane's Walks begins this Friday and I am hosting a walking on Saturday at 10am at Castle Frank! The forecast is looking chilly but dry. Bodes hopefully well for some old road hunting, like these fellows!

Apr 28, 1956: the CPR discontinues trains Nos. 17 and 18 between Montreal and Vancouver, a remnant of the old "Imperial Limited." Once the pride of CP transcontinentals, it debuted in 1899. Originally Nos. 1 and 2, it ceded these numbers to "The Canadian" in 1955. 1/3

This Globe graphic shows the runway extensions across Ontario Place. We still don’t know how many more buildings or how much more land this will require on the site itself.

Happy CFL Draft day! #cfl

This image of University College from 1901 shows the playing field on the front lawn where the Argonaut and Hamilton football clubs played Canada's first inter-city football game -- and first rugby union game -- in October 1873.

Thank you to Larry Broadbent for sharing this photo online! London & Port Stanley Railway (L&PS) #4 had just passed under the Highway 401 underpass which was still under construction in 1955. We have L&PS #4 in our museum's collection and it is currently undergoing restoration.

THIS DAY IN ARGOS HISTORY: On 27 April 1942 the Argos announced that head coach Lew Hayman had enlisted in the RCAF and begun an indefinite leave of absence. The announcement marked the end of Hayman's 9-year run as head coach - still the longest in club history.

On this day in 1813, the Battle of York took place in present-day Toronto. The capital of Upper Canada fell to American forces, who looted and burned key buildings. This attack helped spark the burning of Washington in 1814. #OnThisDay #BattleOfYork #WarOf1812 #TorontoHistory #jeremyhopkin

This is a memorial to someone killed by a driver on my street. Its 1of3 such memorials in a 600m stretch of road. Its basically across the street from my front door. This happened near a bus stop & across from another stop. The solution it seems was to remove the bus stops. #roadsafety #waroncars

Multi-generational VW buses spotted today on danforth. From from early 1980s and other from 2025. Neither is a common sight, but they are distinctive. The Germans know how to do vans, thats for sure I have mixed feeling on vans, but not VW ones #carspotting #vanlife @normal-cr02-metal.bsky.social

Beautiful brutalism & some trees in the way of the view.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the creation of a national sovereign wealth fund to “invest alongside the private sector in nation-building projects,” and will invite investment by individual Canadians as well.

Full credits. This alleyway sign goes hard, some might say alarmingly so. It gives both offense and consequence, withith a touch of undue malice. Bonus points for the embossed white on red lettering. 9/10 on the scale of homeowner placed signage. #AlleywayTO #UrbanGaze #Toronto

On today's episode of random old cars spotted while wandering around TO. An 80s VW Transporter, truck or van? What is this abomination? This thing does a full circle from too ugly to look at to too fascinating to ignore #classiccar @normal-cr02-metal.bsky.social @carguytom.bsky.social #Volkswagen

Crossings. #Toronto #EglintonLRT #BlackAndWhite #Photography

My @thestar.com column this week salutes some real heroes on the streets: crossing guards. Drivers in Ontario are emboldened & dangerous. The guards are precariously employed, disrespected, threatened & a pedestrian’s thin line of defence. It’s absurd we need them yet they’re essential.

Don’t go there!

Laneways & alleys are the special places between. Join along as I wander around the alleys of Leslieville looking for some gems. To start, right off the streetcar, an abandoned Jeep. She's been here a long time, sunken into the dirt pad, decaying in place. Beautiful rust. #AlleywayTO #UrbanGaze

I have been experimenting with 35mm film loaded into used 120 rolls. Composing is a little tricky without any frame lines, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. 📷 Pentax 645 55mm 🎞️ Ilford HP5+ developed in DD-X

On April 24, 1800, 19 Irish soldiers stationed in Newfoundland gathered at a gunpowder magazine. Their goal was to mutiny against their British commanders. It did not go to plan. This is the story of the United Irish Uprising. 🧵 1/6

What?!?!?!?! A public seasonal bathroom opened early?? In Toronto?? Well one of three public bathrooms at Woodbine beach are open before May. Its a crying shame that in the biggest city in the country we cant keep piblc bathroom open year round. #parksTO #Toronto @shawnmicallef.bsky.social

This past weekend we did The Toronto Loop Ride with @bikewaysto.bsky.social. It was a fun 76 km with a purpose - to draw attention to the gaps in the ride where there's no safe cycling infrastructure. At least we had safety in numbers! #BikeTO truly showed up for this one. youtu.be/gi2p35hlsVs?...
