The best custom T-shirts in Toronto are surefire attention-grabbers - they'll pull in any passer-by based on the coolness of the band, the beauty of the artwork, or the outlandish humour of its text. A shoddy print job or ill-fitting T-shirt will derail your club, team, or marketing stunt, so head to the best for all your custom printing needs. Perhaps you want someone to kiss you because you're Irish, or notice that you're with stupid? If you make it, they will laugh.

Here are the best custom T-shirts in Toronto.

The parade of premieres continued Sunday at TIFF, and star-spotters didn't go home disappointed - the latest wave of red carpets featured Denzel Washington, Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Chastain, Tina Fey, Jason Bateman, and a slew of other fan favourites. (A few, like Adam Driver, even stopped for some selfies.) But TIFF is just as much about the parties and events as the films themselves - and Sunday was no exception, with TIFF's annual live music showcase, Festival Music House, kicking off at Adelaide Hall.

Check out all the action in our photo gallery of Day 4 at TIFF.

The September 2014 Supermoon, the last in a string of three in a row, rises tonight over Toronto, promising a special celestial show for those who care to look closely. While the effect of supermoons tends to be exaggerated (this one is projected to be 15 per cent brighter and seven per cent larger than a typical full moon), the fact that this particular one corresponds with the so-called Harvest Moon gives it an extra bit of drama.

A supermoon takes place when a full moon occurs during its closest approach to the earth (remember: the moon's orbit is elliptical). Because it is quite literally nearer to us, we perceive an increase in brightness and size. The greater intensity is often overstated, but thanks to a well timed moonrise over Toronto, one can expect it to appear particularly large at sunset tonight. The moon always appears bigger as it's first rising, and tonight it starts its ascent roughly 20 minutes before sundown.

Let's send it over to NASA to explain what's called the "moon illusion." This "occurs when the Moon is near the horizon. For reasons not fully understood by astronomers or psychologists, low-hanging Moons look unnaturally large when they beam through trees, buildings and other foreground objects. When the Moon illusion amplifies a perigee Moon, the swollen orb rising in the east at sunset can seem super indeed."

As far as taking in the show goes, just make sure to train your eye to the east between 7:20pm and 8:00pm to take in the moon at its biggest. The supermoon will continue to light up the night after that, but it won't seem quite so majestic as at sunset. If you miss moonrise tonight, you can try again tomorrow, though the moon will not be quite full.

Today in Toronto catch indie-rockers Sloan at the HMV Underground at 6pm. You can get a copy of their new album Commonwealth signed, or just push your vintage sunglasses up your nose, cross your arms, and bask in the past. At the Drake Hotel, Rich Aucoin will release EPHEMERAL and I'm guessing there will be colourful plastic tarps involved. TIFF continues - see our picks from the fest so far here.

Brett Despotovich is opening an exhibition of new work in the old Clint Roenisch space on Queen, and if your name is Pedro, you drink for free at Bar Wellington tonight. I'm going to guess you should bring ID, or at least your mom, for verification. For more events, click on over to our events section.

No, the answer to this statement isn't Ikea. Instead, it's a quaint bakery and cafe that has been winning over the Upper Beaches since 2008. Go here for excellent Swedish cinnamon buns, no-bake JoJo snowballs, mazarin and imported Swedish chocolates and packaged snacks.

Tokyo is the mother of all cities. Its metro area, a conurbation that also includes the nearby cities of Yokohama and Kawasaki, is in the most populated cluster of cities on the planet, home to around 35 million people. The Tokyo Metropolis, what we might consider analogous to the GTA in terms of geographical size, houses a massive 13 million--more than twice as many people than live in and around Toronto.

Rebuilding almost entirely following the second world war--the city was subject to one of the most damaging bombing raids in history, Operation Meetinghouse, that killed more than 100,000 people and left a quarter of the city in ruins--Tokyo built an extensive subway system, radically expanded in size, and established itself as one of the most technologically advanced cities on the planet.

Here are five things Toronto could learn from Tokyo.

Pay fastidious attention to the workings of the subway
Tokyo's Shinjuku station is the busiest in the world. Three and a half million people--more than the entire population of Toronto--crowd its platforms every day. During morning rush hour, up to 3,000 people are packed into a typical train, a literal crush load. Such extreme numbers require meticulous organization, so the transit provider employs staff to oversee boarding (the famous "pushmen" are, thankfully, a thing of the past,) scheduling, even the flow of people.

As a result, trains almost always run on time. Delays of more than a minute are announced over the public address system, wait more than five minutes and staff will hand out "proof-of-delay" cards. As writer Taras Grescoe reports in Straphanger, researchers have even mapped the flow of riders through Shinjuku station like currents in a river, tweaking the floor layout to optimize space convenience. Such efficiency requires substantial investment, no doubt, but the reward for Tokyo has been one of the most reliable mass transit systems in the world.

Get people to and from the airport
Like Toronto, Tokyo's main airport is some distance from the central city. Narita International has something Pearson doesn't, however, and that's good transit connections. A total of nine different rail lines service Narita, including subway, commuter, and even high-speed bullet trains. The 73 kilometre express journey from central Tokyo takes about an hour and a half. The fare is about $30 Canadian, give or take a few dollars depending on the provider.

Think small
Tokyo is famous for its capsule hotels, but there are other, less claustrophobic space-saving innovations Toronto could adopt. Kasai Metro station has space for 10,000 bikes, but, thanks to a cluster of automated underground storage containers, the building isn't engulfed in a sea of unwieldy metal racks. Designed and installed by a maker of piling machines, the robotic storage devices collect, store, and return bikes based on a keycard system.

Apart from freeing up space, the storage machines keep bikes away from hacksaw-wielding crooks and the ravages of the elements. The facility is open all night and small staff provide maintenance and sell subscriptions. Best of all, 24 hours of parking costs about $1 Canadian, $18 for the month. For people who want to keep their bikes above ground, there's the bicycle tree.

Change the garbage culture
Despite its gargantuan size, Tokyo is remarkably clean. Writer Tim De Chant chalks the city's love of cleanliness up to the Shinto religion, which frowns on untidiness, but the city also has a strict (and rather complex) garbage and recycling collection system. "In Japan, some plastics are holier than others (and the holier ones go out on Mondays not Thursdays,)" writes Jacques Lhuillery for the Agence France-Presse. "Food scraps have their own bag. Cooking oil must be either absorbed with kitchen towels, or 'solidified with a coagulating agent.'"

It's easy to scoff, especially when the information card looks like this, but Tokyo reaps the rewards of its advanced recycling scheme and passionate commitment to clean public spaces. In 2011, Japan recycled 77 percent of its waste plastic, more than three times what the U.S. managed. The city even has its own masked anti-garbage superhero.

Practice good crowd control
The Shibuya pedestrian scramble is an organizational wonder. Every couple of minutes, the intersection switches from roiling mass of humanity to busy vehicular crossing and back, (mostly) without incident. About 2,500 people cross the street at the same time during peak hours "like cards shuffled in the hands of a Vegas dealer, each sliding seamlessly past the other," in the words of John M. Glionna in the Los Angeles Times.

The takeaway for Toronto should be that pedestrian infrastructure deserves to be folded into the design of our streets where it's needed. This doesn't have to take the form of mega-sized pedestrian scrambles. For example, at important transit intersections where riders transition between the subway and streetcar, like Queen and Yonge, Queen and University, King and University, and King and Yonge, the layout of the sidewalk street could be improved to ease the transition and shield those waiting from the elements, for example.

If you're one of those Debbie Downers who likes to complain that Toronto has no style, you might want to change your tune, because Vogue likes us just fine. Yep, that Vogue. In a story published on the magazine's site earlier this week dedicated to mapping out the world's 15 coolest street style neighbourhoods, West Queen West took the number two spot, behind Tokyo's Shimokitazawa district, beating out neighbourhoods in Paris and Milan. Somehow, we even trounced Silver Lake and Bushwick.

According to the piece, our city is "currently enjoying newfound prominence - and desirability - amongst globe-trotting tastemakers" (the best kind of tastemakers, IMO). West Queen West, meanwhile, is singled out as a "verifiable artery of indie patisseries, homegrown labels, and hidden-from-view galleries."

If you're really trying to keep your finger on the pulse, areas like Dundas West, Ossington and the Junction are seeing far-faster growth in many of those categories - but it's undeniably neat to see the international arbiter of style cred give a nod to what may be Toronto's best-established hub for fashion and art. (If there's one stereotype about our city that may hold some water, it's that we love ourselves some external approval.)

Nestled in Riverdale a few blocks south of Withrow Park, you'll find this contemporary home at 266 Withrow Ave. OK, maybe nestled isn't the right word for a five bedroom, five bathroom house. It's anything but wanting for space. The rooms aren't small either - there's large windows, high ceilings, and lots of room for stretching out. And the master bedroom comes with a walk in closet and an en suite. Who says you need to move to the suburbs for square footage?

There are lots of great features in this modern home too. The main floor is open concept with 11 foot ceilings and it features a large hanging fireplace. The basement includes a fitness room and a wine cellar. The backyard is large, but paved with large patio accents. There's something for pretty much everyone to like here (save for those who despise modern design).

SPECS

• Address: 266 Withrow Ave
• Price: $1,999,000
• Lot Size: 30 x 125 ft
• Bedrooms: 4+1
• Bathrooms: 5
• Parking: 2
• Taxes: $9.862
• Walk Score: 88

FEATURES

• Unique modern home with lots of curb appeal
• 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms
• Spacious main floor with 11 foot ceilings
• 2 car garage
• Close proximity to Withrow Park

GOOD FOR

Appreciators of modern design. This home has a great contemporary feel - open concept, custom Bulthaup kitchen, 5 bathrooms - but it doesn't feel cookie cutter. Some modern homes feel like a one unit condo. But this house has a style all of its own. Great for entertaining and day to day life too!

MOVE ON IF

You're west side-biased. This house has great proximity to lots of essentials - Withrow Park, transit, and plenty of shops on Danforth and Dundas. But if you don't go east of the DVP except to go to the Beaches, look elsewhere. Your loss - less competition for the rest of us! This one's almost sure to go over asking.

A massive new museum and academic complex is set to revitalize the McLaughlin Planetarium site, which has sat dormant for almost 20 years. Later today, U of T will announce plans to knock down the planetarium and build in its place a complex that will house a new Jewish Museum of Canada, a performance hall for the Faculty of Music, research centres, and academic space for the history department.

There is significant fundraising to do before the project becomes a reality, but given the involvement of Four Seasons founder Issy Sharp, one tends to think that the target of $150 million is reachable. Toward that end, U of T president Meric Gertler told the Star that " the complex is in the early stages of planning and approvals."

Speculation as to the future of the site at 99 Queen's Park Cres. has been quiet of late, but ever since the planetarium shut down, it's been a prime piece of real estate waiting for redevelopment. And while it will be sad to see such a unique building go (one that notably doesn't have heritage status. Update:A review is actually pending), at least the proposed replacement bears significant cultural value, something the marquee location quite frankly deserves.

There are a number of Toronto music venues had previous incarnations as movie theatres, but unlike the Danforth Music Hall and Lee's Palace, the Opera House began its life with live music being an integral element. Built in 1909, it was originally known as the Vaudeville Theatre, it offered (as you might expect), vaudeville-style variety shows. Featuring music, comedy, burlesque and other types of performances, vaudeville was extremely popular in that era, and it was just one of 50 other theatres operating in Toronto.

The Riverside neighbourhood of the time was predominantly working class, and many of the local residents worked in the area's nearby nurseries and brick making factories. These industries provided them with enough disposable income for entertainment that the Vaudeville Theatre flourished, at least until the advent of moving pictures led to a rapid shift in how the working class were spending their leisure funds. Out went the performing arts, and in went projectors (the remains of which can still be seen on the balcony level).

From the 1930s to the 1960s it operated as a variety of different movie theatres, including La Plaza Theatre, Acropolis, Cinema Ellas, and the Dundas. It tended to play mostly second run films and B-movies, and at one point in the 50s, they even offered free dinnerware to women to attract them.

In the '60s the venue was re-christened the Opera House, and the focus started to shift back to live entertainment, in part because multiplexes were bleeding customers away from single theatre movie houses. By the '80s, it was seeing fewer and fewer big name acts, but it did start hosting theatrical performances again, including a run of the gospel musical Mama I Want To Sing.

In late 1989, the current group of owners took over the space and turned it into the venue we know it as today. If you went there in the early 90s, you'd barely notice most of the changes made since, at least in terms of the general aesthetic. The sound system, lights, and overall facilities have all been upgraded over the years, but it's still got the feel of a grimy club, set up inside an old opera house. Of course it never actually functioned as an opera house, 35-foot proscenium arch notwithstanding.

With an 850 person capacity (including the balcony), it has historically hosted many up-and-coming bands just as they were about to break, and continues to be used by a variety of promoters to this day for acts that tend to go on to play much bigger rooms when they return. Perhaps the most infamous example of that was Nirvana's sparsely attended pre-stardom 1991 appearance, immortalized on grainy video.

The room hosted many other grunge acts of that era, but it also played a key role in the early rave scene, often ending up as the last minute backup venue when rival promoters called the cops on their competitors semi-legal warehouse venues. Their willingness to book all-ages events means that multiple generations (and genres) of Toronto music lovers have some of their earliest nightlife memories in that room.

In an era when promoters sometimes struggled to find venues receptive to genres like hip hop, punk, rave, and metal, the Opera House was always an option in the 90s. As it's more of a rental venue than a club with a defined identity, the names who've played its stage span a huge range of genres. Eminem, Rage Against The Machine, Richie Hawtin, MIA, DJ Shadow, A$AP Rocky, Caribou, Blur, and LCD Soundsystem have performed there, but so have countless high school kids playing battle of the bands events, and hundreds of black metal bands. In an unconscious nod to its vaudeville past, it even still hosts burlesque and comedy events.

The surrounding area has become much more upscale in recent years, and that may signal change in the venue's future fortunes. Hopefully the inevitable NIMBY backlash will be postponed for a while. However, their longevity has proven that there's an ongoing demand for concert halls of this size with an open-minded booking policy, willing to take on the kinds of shows that fancier places might turn their noses up at.

Growing closer to the three-day status of their American counterparts, Riot Fest's third visit to Toronto was spread over two days, requiring a move from Fort York to Downsview Park. Take some huge local and international names (The Cure, Flaming Lips, The National, Metric, City and Colour, Death Cab For Cutie, etc.), add a lineup of punk mainstays (Billy Talent, Social Distortion, Rise Against, Taking Back Sunday, etc.), mix over both days, and we're finally edging closer to the mega festival lineups of the US stops.

The promised carnival rides didn't show up, but the vast number of food vendors and a few carnival games still brought the spirit of the CNE. Few would argue that you could've asked for a better send off to summer.

Here are 35 of our favourite mud-splattered moments from Riot Fest 2014.

We're halfway through TIFF, but the celebrity contingent isn't headed back to Tinseltown just yet. Some hotly-anticipated film fest entries, including Cake, Foxcatcher and 99 Homes, had their premieres on Monday, and the stars - including Jennifer Aniston, Channing Tatum, Steve Carell, Anna Kendrick, and Andrew Garfield - were out in full force.

Check out all the action in our photo gallery of Day 5 at TIFF.

The Mayoral elephant in the room has been staring us down for some time now, but today even the New Yorker accused us, more or less, of being addicted to our own City Hall circus. Quote the New Yorker: "It is one thing for a politician to spectacularly unravel while in office, and quite another for voters to want more. And yet Ford bobbleheads are selling well in Toronto. Everyone wants a Ford selfie. At his rallies, adoring crowds chant, 'Ford More Years.' We've become a city with an addiction of our own."

Also referring to Toronto as "the Six," the magazine runs down some of our major mishaps, from 2014's Ford Fest chaos to Doug Ford's suggestion that you can be racist against apples, and posits that Robyn Doolittle's Crazy Town might be the most apt nickname for our troubled city. As Ford enjoys high poll rankings and I consider the pros and cons of updating our best and worst Rob Ford merch list with ever-expanding limited edition swag, maybe it is time to check ourselves in Rob Ford rehab. Or hit replay on the latest video incident.

Despite having one of the most heavily used transit systems on the continent, Toronto has missed numerous chances to expand its rapid transit network and reap the associated economic and environmental rewards, according to a new report published by the University of Waterloo.

"Toronto and Montreal have both missed opportunities to vastly expand the role of transit in promoting sustainable, reliable, and economically‐supportive transportation networks," says the report, which studied transit ridership and growth between 1996 and 2012.

People in Toronto took an average of 133 rides on the TTC each year in the study period, the highest number in the country, but the municipal, provincial, and federal governments didn't match those ridership levels with expansion. Only 18 kilometres of new rapid transit, the Sheppard subway, St. Clair streetcar lanes, and the Spadina line extension to Downsview, were added.

The report compared Toronto with Dallas, Philadelphia, and Miami, three U.S. cities of similar size and economic output. Dallas, the best performer in terms of expansion, grew its network by 106 kilometres--a whopping 84.8 percent--over the last two decades, while Philadelphia remained stagnant, adding nothing.

Despite Toronto's relative lack of expansion (in Canada, Vancouver and Calgary built more) TTC ridership grew by 25 rides per person, per year. In Dallas, a city famous for its love of cars, old habits have proved hard to break. Ridership only increased by 10 rides per person, per year.

Bottom line: Toronto loves the TTC. More people are riding than ever before, and it's time the various levels of government paid back that investment, for everyone's sake. Failure to do so will dent the economy, lower the quality of life for residents, and lead to more congestion and pollution, the report says.

The degree to which Toronto has developed since the early 1960s is nothing short of profound. From a sleepy city defined by its preponderance of church spires at the outset of the decade to the home of not one but two marvels of modernist architecture by its end (New City Hall and Mies van der Rohe's TD Centre), the city was on the brink of a development explosion, and as the saying goes, nothing was the same.

But what about before the rise of the modern skyscraper in Toronto? How has the city developed over the last 135 years? If you care to look closely, the city has undergone remarkable change each decade since the 1850s. In an effort to track these changes and growth, collected below are a series of bird's eye maps and photographs of Toronto. Unlike our aerial photo collection, the idea here is to keep the field of vision as consistent as possible (that's a bit more difficult than it sounds, but I've done my best).

Be sure to click on the maps for high resolution viewing. And don't forget to check out our related post on the transformation of the Toronto skyline from 1880 to today.

1879
Highlights from our earliest bird's eye view of Toronto include a visible Garrison Creek (and ravine), Union Station II, the Third Parliament Buildings (at Front and Simcoe), the early Distillery (District), and a burgeoning U of T campus amongst other things.

1886
This map gives a good indication of the crucial importance of the harbour to 19th century Toronto, but also noteworthy is the fact that Yonge St. is the only thoroughfare that reaches significantly beyond Bloor St. This city is almost entirely concentrated in the area that we now refer to as downtown.

1893
By 1893, Garrsion Creek is on its way to being buried altogether. Old City Hall makes an early appearance (it hadn't been built yet, but the mapmaker's often included future structures of note), and the Don River has already been significantly straightened. If you look closely, you can see the city becoming progressively more industrialized.

1904
The Great Fire of 1904 decimated the downtown core. Toronto spent the next decade rebuilding the Financial District.

1932
By 1932, the first skyscrapers have appeared on the scene (Commerce Court, The Royal York). There's a new Union Station, and the land south of Front St. has expanded through various fill efforts.

1935
An alternate view from the 1930s looking south from the U of T campus gives some context as to the city's lack of density at this time.

1940s
By the 1940s, the Railway Lands have become enormous and the city has pushed as far south as it exists today. Toronto is still very much an industrial city, as demonstrated by the busy waterfront area.

1967
And then Toronto went modern. First with New City Hall (1965) and then the TD Centre. The black steel of the latter ushered in the rise of the modern Financial District. The rest of the city is starting to get denser as well.

1974
As the CN Tower rises above the city, Commerce Court has been complete, First Canadian Place is on the way, and a population boom has lead to the rise of concrete apartment complexes across the city.

1990s
Fast forward to the 1990s, and the waterfront is now home to condos, the SkyDome has arrived (ditto for Scotia Plaza in the 1980s), and the Railway Lands have been razed to prepare for the massive CityPlace condo development.

Late 2000s
The 25+ year jump reveals the huge rise of condos in Toronto, though the area to the west of the CN Tower has yet to be fully developed.

Late 2000s (alternate angle)
This is what contemporary Toronto looks like. While not as dense as some cities, you can trace an obvious Manhattan-like island of heavier development through the core of the city.

Today

And then there were three. David Soknacki has decided to withdraw from the Toronto mayoral race, leaving Olivia Chow, John Tory, and Rob Ford as the leading contenders for the city's top elected position. (Well, I guess they were always the three main contenders, but still, it's sad to see the only candidate with legitimately exciting ideas throw in the towel.)

"While my support is growing, it simply is not growing quickly enough to make any positive difference to the outcome on Election Day," Soknacki said in a statement. "While we fought this as a campaign of ideas, we've also heard from voters who've told us that removing Mayor Ford is their top priority."

"I am incredibly grateful for the loyal and strong support I've received so far. We have more volunteers, better morale and more donors than ever - but I also feel that asking my supporters to sacrifice more time, more energy and more commitment under these circumstances just isn't right, especially when we have succeeded in making such a strong statement on so many fronts already," he wrote.

Despite receiving widespread acclaim for his ideas, the former city councillor and budget chief trailed in the polls since declaring his candidacy, often running fifth behind Karen Stintz and never achieving above five percent support.

Soknacki, who has spent more than $100,000 of his own money on his campaign to date, said his name will be formally withdrawn from the mayoral ballot tomorrow, but didn't rule out making a run for city council.

Rival John Tory congratulated Soknacki and his team on an "energetic and positive" campaign. "Torontonians are fortunate that citizens of David's calibre continue to stand up for what they believe by standing for office so that our city can move forward. I thank him and wish him all the very best," he said in a statement.

Earlier today, fringe candidate Sarah Thomson also announced her decision to drop out and run for the council seat in Ward 20 Trinity-Spadina.
