Despite the name, there’s no waterfall β€” just rapids that reverse as the Bay of Fundy collides with the Saint John River. It’s dramatic, but the best vantage point is, unfortunately, a narrow, traffic-lined sidewalk rather than a proper urban promenade. #ReversingFalls (3/3)

After the American Revolution, United Empire Loyalists relocated here from Castine, Maineβ€”literally floating their dismantled homes across the Bay of Fundy to rebuild them on this shore. Some are still standing on Water and Prince Streets today. #TravelNB (2/3)

The St. Martins Sea Caves are carved by the massive tides of the Bay of Fundy. You can walk right into them at low tideβ€”just off the beach and close to the village’s covered bridges. (3/3)

Once called Quaco by the Mi’kmaqβ€”β€œhaunt of the hooded seal”—St. Martins was settled in 1783 by Loyalists and became a 19th-century shipbuilding hub. Today, it’s known for its massive Bay of Fundy tides and nearby red sandstone sea caves. (3/3) #ExploreNB

Line 5: No Opening Date, But the Crosstown Bringing Big Changes | UrbanToronto As Toronto waits in anticipation for the long-delayed Eglinton Line 5 to open, the TTC is preparing to implement the largest bus network re-organization the city has seen in decades. From The Junction...

Given that the Line 5 western extension and Line 6 generally lack stations with bus loops, I don’t expect eitherβ€”despite one opening soonβ€”to impact the bus network as significantly as the main portion of Line 5 will once it opens. urbantoronto.ca/news/2025/07... #TTC

BREAKING: College Park Redevelopment Looks to Scale Up Grandeur, Height | UrbanToronto GWL Realty Advisors' plans for College Park are easily the most ambitious development project in Toronto since The Well. The landmark at Yonge and College streets is one of the city's grandest complexes, with numerous features that make it an irreplaceable commercial heritage asset. A new plan looks to correct both the ill-conceived changes over the years, while also looking to honour more of the original grand plan.

I'm cautiously supportive of the overall vision hereβ€”but I'm not convinced 777 Bay (the former Maclean-Hunter building) needs to go. It’s a solid, well-used structure that doesn’t feel particularly out of place in the neighbourhood either. urbantoronto.ca/news/2025/07...

I meant all. But variations of this could work too with streetcars still plying the space. Although, we have an aversion to that on this continent.
