is he planning to quit part-way through final term or something?

I'll bet it's the one on Rexdale between Kipling and Islington. Right in Ward 2 if I'm not mistaken. Lovely site lol

There used to be a huge open grass patch right beside that outlet store. Can't recall if it's still there though - I don't travel north on Islington much.

Bad location though - you can only access that from Islington southbound. There's a median in the way for the northbound folks, who will need to head north and turn around.

Where's Robyn Doolittle? Surely her move to G&M included a need to follow her Ford momentum to the final chapter.

I believe that she's releasing an updated Crazytown shortly as the recent article was an excerpt.

Maybe something like FDR did in his final term. By that time, Mikey will likely be Deputy Mayor for a seamless transition of power. < shudder >

Media frenzy.

The RFMG protesters turned their backs.

Two cops are in Ford's office right now, the mayor will scrum in a few minutes. Another bullshit bomb threat?

Either one of us is discarnate, or we're constantly tripping over one another.

betsy powell ‏@powellbetsy 1m
Ford's Etobicoke campaign office says Ford Fest will be held in a Sears parking lot so guess that means no park permit required

That also means that camping is allowed!

Well, Dougie said no more public venues for the Ford Festers, so I wonder what compensation is going to Sears, and possibly mall corp.

Also, today marks the 60th anniversary of the historic Lake Ontario swim.

I prefer "Vex in the City".

I wonder how much that cost.

When can we expect an appearance by OJ and other fallen graces?

Karla Holmolka?

It somehow seems possible...

That suggestion is pushing beyond the limits of good taste.

Hah. Sitting outside city hall - I wondered what the flashes were in one of the offices.

Was hoping I might see Jon Stewart visit. I guess Tyson is a fair second.
