Sweet Read:: The Hogtown Project

The Hogtown Project is a brand new coffee table book about Toronto from Writer Nadine Dolly and photographer Kristie Macor, childhood buds who wanted to make a homage of the city from a residential perspective.

“Most coffee-table books for Torontonians are made for tourists, and usually have spots in the city that we would never go anymore, like the CN Tower. So we thought we should create one that speaks to Torontonians," says Dolly in an interview with the Toronto Star.

The girls spent 3 years, $20,000, and hours of remarkable memories travelling in and out of 180 Toronto locales.
