“Building A Better Bloor Dufferin” wants a bigger chunk of gentrification change. Development plans in Bloordale have locals wondering why the province settled for a seemingly insufficent share of public money. A fringe benefit of being in a creative-class neighbourhood is the stylish protest poster: 

Lower Bay station is still rough enough for Fucked Up. The abandoned platforms beneath Yorkville will get a public opening with the profane punk band. Two weeks later, Lower Bay will host a TTC Lego tribute exhibit as part of Doors Open Toronto.

YouTube kid gets a taste of a dispensary in Kensington Market. Oh Henry! capitalized on 4/20 five days later with a pop-up store in Kensington that promotes the candy bar as the ideal snack for five minutes after smoking up. And here's proof that there's no age restriction at this fake weed store:

Wayne McLean dead at 73. The ordained Baptist minister started doing talk radio in Windsor, where he married mynah birds on the air, and moved to Toronto in 1988 to join CFRB for a midday show on which cops busted an exotic dancer who brought along her tiger. McLean returned to Windsor in 1992, then appeared on other Ontario stations, until settling into quieter work by consulting on scripts.
