Torontoist is often petulant and snarky, and seems uninterested in the world outside U of T (downtown campus only). Occasionally, its wall-of-text entries are dry and difficult to read, perhaps better suited to Wikipedia. But overall, there is no other blog that cares so much about covering the city. For that, Torontoist should be saluted – and the rest of the local blogosphere should try harder.
