Thursday’s Headlines

1. I read that Fixer column about the TTC loop in the Beaches. Streetcars were there for over 100 years, and that loop at Neville Park at least since the 1910s. Unless the resident has been there before the loop was installed, well, it’s hard to find any sympathy.

2. The Star failed to mention in its “Waste of Money” article that Rod Muir ran for mayor in the last election.

3. It is time for everybody to start to do the right thing and simply pick up after our dogs. Its not hard if not for our enviorment but for our children

4. I also thought Chris Hume’s article today about the follow-up to End of Suburbia (screening tonight at the Bloor) was really apt for the Spacing crowd.

   It can be found here:

5. I haven’t heard what that streetcar loop sounds like, but I hope it’s not worse than the earful that you get standing right beside a bus with shrieking brakes. I’m convinced that there’s actually a component whose only job is to destroy the upper registers of bystanders’ hearing…

6. As for the garbage bins, why can’t the city simply use bag tags? That would avoid the expense of purchasing expensive garbage bins.
