Igor Kenk

If you're from Toronto you probably know who this is. Igor Kenk is being accused of coordinating the biggest bicycle theft ring in Toronto history. The local police have found over 3000 bikes in his possession. Everyone knew who Kenk was because he had a long establed 'used' bicycle shop in the popular Queen West shopping area. Here is him from the time of his arrest to him exiting his arraignment trial.

Queen Street Fire

This week there was a six-alarm fire on Toronto's Queen Street West. It destroyed several local businesses as well as left several people homeless. I had a chance to witness the demolition of the ruins this weekend and it was a very sorrowful site. Many people were standing and watching in silence. My friend noted that 'it felt like a funeral.' Here are some before and after pictures from a local blog called Torontoist.

The New Broadview House Hotel

The New Broadview House Hotel is a four story hotel at Broadview Avenue and Queen Street East in Toronto, Ontario.

Built in 1893, the Romanesque style hotel was built for Archibald Dingham and located in the historic neighbourhood of Riverdale.

Still operating as a hotel, the lower floor is the Jilly's strip club.
