Who says Torontonians are cold-hearted? BlogTO has a great little post about Annex residents piling carboard boxes and spare sheets below a lamppost. The reason? A raccoon somehow found its way to the top of a light standard and was not coming down. Read the Toronto Sun article or watch the short video of people making the “soft-landing pad.”

What goes up must come down.
After spending two days atop a Bloor St. light standard, a traffic-stopping raccoon shimmied down just before 6 a.m. yesterday and scurried off into anonymity.
“I think it learned its lesson,” said Helen Zachariou, who works at a corner store.
The critter stopped dozens of people in their tracks Monday as it napped on the pole and its plight attracted Toronto Animal Services, a hydro cherry picker and the media.
In the end, there was little anyone could do for the four-legged bandit except wait for it to come down to earth
Read the “great little post” link and you’ll see that the Sun article left ALOT out – especially the role of “the local corner store”.
