http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-port-lands-1.3762887 First little chunk of cash. Hopefully this becomes first of a regular series of announcements.

Sorry, MJL, but I went to the open house w/o camera. Rainy day and grabbed umbrellas and forgot camera. Wouldn't have made much of a difference, as the showroom/faux apartment and the huge crowd would have made it impossible to take any shots. A bit of a feeding frenzy, and if their floor...

C'mon, WK. That's an inoffensive article about a progressive day camp with great lunches. What would were you expecting? When you send your kid to the Jewish summer camp, or the Athletics summer camp, or the Christian summer camp, or the all-white-boys-go-canoeing summer camp, how is that...

Did you read the piece, or just dismiss it?

It is. I'll try to remember to take a camera. From what I understand, they have cleaned out the junk and built a show suite, but done little else to this point, so we might get lucky and it'll still have a church's soaring interior at this point.

Well, I guess if you're moving from Florida it could be a surprise. Lots of movement finally happening in east end schools. Monarch Park is picking up the Eastern Commerce and alternative school kids this year (teacher bumping is rampant, apparently).

Umm... Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's an original NYT op-ed written by someone they are funding through a fellowship. So the NYT is the point of origin.

Ah, FCG. I link the New York Times, and you pretend it's yellow journalism. Welcome back. Go away.

Preview invitation arrived for Saturday, 17th September. 32 suites from the $500s was the teaser.

Y'all are falling into a trap, IMHO, which is why we differ. You're assuming that this went down the way the police said it did. I'm assuming that it didn't. That's not to say they killed him in cold blood. Just that I no longer believe the police are neutral arbiters.

I understand your point of view, but obviously I don't agree. People dying is sad to me, even if they're irredeemable criminals. And, again, 'having a gun in hand' is not the same thing at all as shooting at the cops.

As I've said more than once before: there's a reason Milwaukee is rioting. And it's because 'the police said so' is not taken as truth anymore. Also -- in my Canada, we don't have a death penalty even for murderers. There's a reason for that. No one 'deserves' to die at the hands of the police...

That's a big shoot!

IMHO you're giving him too much credit, Skeezix. I can't think of a better house/location to use for a film shoot, frankly. Not tucked down a side street, across from a school so few houses impacted, big lot to store gear off-street. Agreed on the smoking/loitering thing, though. My wife had to...

http://www.vox.com/2016/8/16/12495778/sylville-smith-milwaukee-police-shooting Really, really good explainer on the Milwaukee situation. I'm still sticking with the Ferguson example until proven otherwise. I wonder if we'll see any footage (police cams or bystanders) of this takedown. Also --...

Jeff, whoever you are, you're not helping. To say the least.

Oh, I expect me. Maybe you, too. https://www.buzzfeed.com/claudiakoerner/video-shows-man-shot-by-milwaukee-police-had-gun-in-his-hand?utm_term=.xxvnOVPeP#.nwONAxKYK I'll be interested to see how much the story changes on this one. Has a real Ferguson feel to it. Traffic stop due to really...

"Who am I kidding? If you could understand that metaphor..." Well played, Ed.
