Welcome to our new blog! This is the place to celebrate the goings-on at the southeast corner of Bloor & Bay and the community that surrounds it.

We’ll be introducing you to the businesses in Manulife Centre: the bigger ones like Indigo, William Ashley and Bay Bloor Radio, and the more boutique ones like Ron White Shoes, GRATiAE and Nirvana Home Collection — VP Rishi Aggarwal is going to show us what he’d do with a bachelor apartment in 44 Charles Suite West, the rental apartment building above us.

We’ll also be reporting from the bloorstreet market, The One Eighty and The Bloor Street Diner on the unique meals you can find at Manulife Centre, starting with the best Brunch in Toronto.

And once in a while we’ll turn the lens around and focus on the people (and puppies) that come through here. From street style to product and service recommendations, you’ll see what Bloor & Better means to the folks who benefit from it every day.

As well, you can follow along on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and if there’s something you want to know about Manulife Centre or a story you’d like to see us pursue, let us know on Twitter @ManulifeCentre. In the meantime, enjoy the new blog and our new social feeds.
