I've scoured the web to come up with a variety of food & drink, transit, housing, arts & entertainment, education, sports & leisure, and photography oriented Google Maps mashups for Toronto.

I thought I saw a "Red Light District" map. For a moment there I thought I had a plan for this Saturday.

Can anyone else get the first housing "for purchase" mashup to work (grassisgreener.ca)? It keeps telling me there are no listings at all!

Hmmm... looks like grassisgreener is broken!

Wow, this is awesome. I especially love the public library locater. But that's because I'm a geek.

Thestar.com was an early adopter of GoogleMaps (now Google Local) for interactive news features. Most of our maps can be found at <a href='http://www.thestar.com/maps'>thestar.com/maps</a> .

Three in particular have local interest:

<li><a href='http://www3.thestar.com/static/googlemaps/starmaps.html?xml=homicides.xml'>GTA homicides from January 2005 to the present (three maps)</a>;
<li> <a href='http://www3.thestar.com/static/googlemaps/starmaps.html?xml=homicides.xml'>Our traffic map</a>, somewhat different from the two you have linked above;
<li> and <a href='http://www3.thestar.com/static/googlemaps/starmaps.html?xml=homicides.xml'>and marijuana grow houses busted in 2006</a>

Glad you like it, Sameer. All that cutting and pasting solidified my own geek status pretty well.
