I did a search for this, but nothing came up. TOBuilt (http://tobuilt.ca/) is a great database of Toronto buildings, with good Toronto heritage coverage. Has institutional, industrial, residential and commercial coverage and is searchable by year, company and neighbourhood. Most entries have photos.

The second is also impressive, but not as engaging. These people went along major streets in Toronto, taking a photo in to create a "Virtual City" (http://toronto.virtualcity.ca/)!

I already knew about these sites, but never thought to post links. Good idea!

This is a good site as well for for planning a night out or a weekend in town. It's still under development I think.

Toronto Pending (http://www.davidkopulos.com/torontopending/) is a fascinating site on Toronto megaprojects that were never built.
