About

An independent Scarborough guide

Not affiliated with the City of Toronto, just people who love the east end.

My Scarborough documents Scarborough the way locals experience it: bluff trails, plaza restaurants, civic architecture, valley hikes, and the stories that don't make downtown headlines. We publish landmark guides, neighbourhood snapshots, editorial real-estate context, and weekly Field Notes from places we actually visit.

What we cover

  • History: from Lake Iroquois to amalgamation and beyond
  • Landmarks: the Bluffs, Guild Park, the Zoo, Rouge, and more
  • Neighbourhoods: character, transit, and local highlights
  • Things to do: curated lists, not generic filler
  • Real estate trends: editorial market context (not listings)
  • Field Notes: try-this tips from the road, updated weekly

How we work

Content is written and fact-checked by humans, then published as static pages for speed and accessibility. Have a tip, correction, or story idea? Get in touch.
