  1. Re: TTC token sales stopping

    Wow, that just sucks.

    My closest TTC entrance is an automated entrance, and I haven’t hoarded enough tokens to get me through to Jan 3. Now, I’ll have to either pay the cash fare to buy a single token or walk the extra distance to the regular entrance every time. Way to go, Giambrone!

  2. Good article by Porter on Jutta Mason, a woman who is great exemplar of community building.
