Toronto needs more markets like St Lawrence market. Lets consume less and buy qaulity organic things.

John Street , Toronto's Boulevard of the Future

John Street, the cultural corridor. The AGO, Prince of Wales Theatre, TIFF, Rogers Centre, Scotia Theatre, Chapters, Metro Hall and the CN Tower all close to John Street. Metro Hall thats me. I am there all day, then I leave late afternoon to commute back to the suburbs where it is so mundane but ever so safe.

Christopher Hume wrote about his boulevard dream for John Street. It is a beautiful dream and we need a boulevard so badly in Toronto. Lets hope the current Mayor, Rob Ford and any future mayors will  also dream of boulevards.

The Girl on the Toronto Subway

The girl on the subway speaking loudly about her activist boyfriend. He doesn't want a job because a job will prevent him from doing social justice activites.

They helped each other the TTC RT

I was at the subway station waiting when all of a sudden the blind man appeared. He looked a little lost and I thought to myself there is no way he will able to board the train on his own. After a few seconds I went up to him to offer some help and he politely refused so I then went ahead into the train and sat down and started to get something to read. I looked up and saw the blind man pushing another man in a wheelchair. They got into the train right before the door closed.


Allah does find a way for the disabled.
