    Is the west side of Toronto more prominent than the east side?

    This shows very clearly that the Don River, not Yonge Street, is/was the big development divide. As rivers are in many cities.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    It's already happening. I said "worlds are colliding!" to a whippersnapper not long ago and they had no idea what I meant (and this was in the context of a conversation about friend-poaching).

    Aaaaand... surfing airfare to Stockholm for my next holiday. Naples has some pretty groovy subway stations too. https://www.flickr.com/search/?q=napoli+metro

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Huh. I read "avoid the scandal" as meaning not have that as one of the topics of the interview, with the aim of getting any kind of interview at all. Same way you promise a movie star not to ask about their messy divorce but only their new movie. The scandal was already out there, so it's not...

    What about PR/communications? I think that is like a 1-year college program (maybe less since he already has arts credits).

    Who is Bonnie Luciano? Anyway, her piece is like a Logical Fallacy Bingo Card with every square crossed.

    I feel like it's enough already with the "something big is about to drop" posts, with the follow-on speculation posts. Can we have a moratorium-ish thing about that?

    Toronto 2024 Olympic Bid (Dead)

    The story behind the green M&Ms is that it was a quick way to test whether the whole list of requirements had been read and followed. The list included a lot of specific technical things re: sound etc. So if the band arrived and saw the wrong colours in the M&M bowl or NO M&M bowl (!), they...

    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    I can see how having to compete with the Fords would put a lot of potential candidates off, because the Fords play dirty. That, plus not wanting to campaign in the middle of the circus that is this mayoral race.

    I was offering a partial explanation for TOBorn's question about how Toronto ended up with ~30% "Illiterati", not addressing the whole, very large issue of the links between education, occupation and income over the last 40 years.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    A lot of Ford Nation was educated under the "old ways". That was during a time when scraping through grade 12 (and sometimes bailing after grade 10) still allowed you to get a job at a local factory for a union wage, do that for 40 years and retire with a pension and a paid-off house. Those...
