On The Grid

This week's print edition of The Grid has a nice shout-out to the photo essay I compiled last week on the dying days of Sears at the Eaton Centre, along with samples of reader feedback. Discovering this while flipping through the new issue on the bus over to Eglinton station provided a good start to the day.

The Scribbler

This is the scribble pad of writer Jamie Bradburn, where personal stories, writing exercises, and other loose ends are finding a home. It's where I throw words against a wall and see if they stick.

Material in this vein used to appear on JB's Warehouse and Curio Emporium, which quietly passed away in the middle of the night without anybody noticing. There you'll find bonus features for articles I've written elsewhere. Also check out Tales of Toronto, which revisits my old work and will include new stories from the history of the city I call home.

Professionally, I am a freelance writer/historian whose work has earned Heritage Toronto and National Magazine Awards. For a decade I was a staff writer for Torontoist, contributing to its long-running "Historicist" column. Currently I contribute regularly to TVO’s website. My work has also been published by Canadaland, Canadian Encyclopedia/Historica Canada, Friends of Canadian Broadcasting, Heritage Toronto, OpenFile, Quill and Quire, Spacing, The Grid, Toronto Life, Toronto Star, and Tourism Toronto. I have also contributed to exhibitions presented by Mysuem of Toronto and PAMA.
