A new clothing store called The Men's Room opened above Woody's. It features BEAR style fashion - plaid shirts, track pants, wife beaters, baseball caps and bear themed underwear. The store has adult toys for Bears too - if you're a Bear or a Bear admirer, this is the store for you!

Go http://www.nomadto.com/ Find a new apartment in a neighborhood where you will be comfortable with the politics of your neighbors. Live where many of your neighbors support John Tory or Doug Ford or Olivia Chow.

I suspect Olivia was asked not to drop out of the race ~ her continued presence insured she split the vote in John Tory's favor. Her reward for this? A plum job at city hall in one or more areas of her expertise e.g. breakfast programs, after school programs etc.

Does KWT have to live with the dreadful murals she approved around the Village? Or the street markers? No. She simply goes home to her condo on the west side and forgets about the entire dreadful mess. Last time I saw her - at a presser for the newly renamed Cawthra Park - she was wearing a...

Councilors who do not live in the ward they represent don't have to live with the consequences of their decisions. When they vote, they may be biased toward the ward they live in and not the ward they represent. How does it benefit the community to have a non-resident represent them at city...

Does anyone know where councilor Kristyn Wong Tam actually lives? She doesn't live in Ward 27, the ward she represents. Should a city councilor live in the ward they rep? Or is she simply dropping in for photo-ops and press conferences and mural painting, while trying to ascend to new...

It will be a miracle if Body Shop survives. That business crashed years ago. It may be of some appeal with tourists.

Brown Innovations Inc has the answer to that. Directional Sound. Go http://www.browninnovations.com/blog/

If you want to keep sketchy douche bags out of Cawthra Park, rig the park with speakers and play classical music, opera etc 24 - 7. This works at Warden, Victoria Park, Main Street, Bathurst, Dundas West, Runnymede, Finch and Greenwood subway stations. Play Mozart, Bach, Sibelius, Verdi and...

How is it KTW can put up any specious " art " she wants in the village?

The function of cause marketing is no different than any other marketing. It's designed to enduce more consumption.

They're trying to change the name of Union Station too - i wish City Council would turn it's attention to something useful like fixing potholes instead of re-writing history -

Kudo's to Roy G Biv. It was a fantastic come back.

lol. It's true. You nailed it!

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.--Winston Churchill

CTW = KWT. My bad.

In a never-ending quest to appease the gay sacred cow of diversity, perhaps the gay hegemony, feeling there is too much good taste in The Village already, wanted to balance the visual equation by hiring gays with bad taste to shape the public realm. Thus the Normcore murals, gates and now the...

It's a short term lease that concludes at the end of summer.

There are two Villages. There's the one you see when you live here - as Alistriwin and I do - and there's the Village you see as a visitor or tourist. Never the twain shall meet.

The park will be lit using a new highly directional LED array technology that basically creates daylight at night. Orlando, Boston, London and Chicago have experimented with this technology in some of their public spaces to some success. Theoretically dealers and vagrants don't like plying...
