The City's planning division has denied heritage status to Spadina Avenue's Waverly Hotel, the landmark flophouse that was home to a generation of Toronto's artists and writers.

Meanwhile, the Waverly's neighbour, the Silver Dollar Room, is still awaiting a decision on its own heritage status. [blogTO]
