There's still two of them, although I wouldn't know if it's the same ones.

I was also near the station, so I could leave quickly on that train -- 3:22pm when I tapped on according to Presto activity record, I think around the time the streetlights went back off.

I only went to Hamilton (West Harbour), last train to make it there on time, then first train back (3:25pm, though it waited a couple of minutes to let more on). It was crowded, but didn't initially look quite as bad as the photos above, though it got worse as more boarded on each trip. On the...

As I mentioned in the other thread about the TTC system becoming a large de facto psychiatric institution without attendants and doctors, along with their other more serious problems, the mentally unsound people are also not inclined to pay fares or care about littering. They wander into the...

They're certainly doing better than the other casinos in getting more shows and bigger acts. They have two good venues (1500 and 5000-seat theatre). They're far enough away that it's not Toronto. People from all over the world have heard of Niagara Falls, and unlike Pickering, Rama, and...

Supposedly a second one has been delivered. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_CC-330_Husky#Development The different names can get a little confusing. It's an Airbus A330. Then MRTT when converted for military use. Then Canada has its own designation, CC-330 Husky.

The prediction, or hope, in this headline from January doesn't quite seem to be transpiring. "Toronto's live music scene is moving to the suburbs with new concert venues to the north"...

I would assume it must be happening in the very near future, according to posts in other threads, if the last plane left there a week ago. https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/aviation-in-ontario.37388/post-2068008...

I tried to look up some kind of number for how often this is happening as compared to a few years ago, but wasn't able to find anything specific. It certainly seems to be occurring more often. It also seems strange that sometimes the announcements (when you can actually hear and understand them)...

There are certainly hawks and some falcons in the city. You can probably see big Red-tailed hawks circling around overhead every day, or sometimes perched on the top of utility poles, and occasionally eating something they've caught (and I think most are fascinated or even happy to see it, not...

This Bullock's oriole must have made a Bugs-Bunny-like 'wrong turn at Albuquerque' to be in Toronto, a thousand miles away from the closest places it would normally be seen.

Downsview Airport's Final Departure https://skiesmag.com/news/bombardiers-final-global-7500-from-downsview-takes-flight/

Also, a one-time event that may well be a non-event if it's an overcast day. Maybe, but even disregarding the weather, these kind of free event things can often be unpredictable for crowd size. I've been at Woodbine Park on Canada Day a few times when they've had bands playing all afternoon and...

If the fake owls at Keele and Dundas are intended to scare away pigeons, it's not working.

It sounds like something said by a mayor who doesn't use GO or any other public transit, and doesn't understand how it works. There isn't reserved seating. I suppose people can buy GO tickets online, but I don't see how that would do anything to guarantee you would get a seat on a particular...
