Toronto's Ten Worst High Schools

So over in my Montréal blog, I've got a few pictures of high schools. People seem to nbe looking at them, so I thought I'd post some here in Toronto. Now don't blame me, blame the Fraser Institute. It's according to the Fraser Institiute that these are Toronto's ten worst high schools. The list is here, and you can check it out yourself. What I can say in their defence is than many are housed in lovely big monolithic buildings.

Toronto's 25 Best Restaurants in Pictures

The best restaurants in Toronto, chosen not by me... what do I know about cuisine? In fact, the listing - which extends as far as 100 - can be found on this here very lovely resource. It's a Joanna Kates who's made the list. It's me who's grabbed the pictures from Google Maps though, so yay me. This three-to-a-row grid format is, I think, an easier way to look at them. In each case, clicking on the thumbnail will make it get super big.
