No more giant stores, build Markets in Toronto
Toronto needs more markets like St Lawrence market. Lets consume less and buy qaulity organic things.

John Street , Toronto's Boulevard of the Future
John Street, the cultural corridor. The AGO, Prince of Wales Theatre, TIFF, Rogers Centre, Scotia Theatre, Chapters, Metro Hall and the CN Tower all close to John Street. Metro Hall thats me. I am there all day, then I leave late afternoon to commute back to the suburbs where it is so mundane but ever so safe.
Christopher Hume wrote about his boulevard dream for John Street. It is a beautiful dream and we need a boulevard so badly in Toronto. Lets hope the current Mayor, Rob Ford and any future mayors will also dream of boulevards.

The Girl on the Toronto Subway
The girl on the subway speaking loudly about her activist boyfriend. He doesn't want a job because a job will prevent him from doing social justice activites. The train was so delayed and I was getting frustrated. There was a signal failure between Coxwell and Kennedy. A train became disabled at Warden and it was freezing cold.
My frustration turned to smile after listening to the girl. It made me remember the quote, "Make lemonade when given lemons". The subway can be entertaining and an experience if you want it to be

Caring for Your Introvert
http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2003/03/caring-for-your-introvert/2696
Introverts are not necessarily shy. Shy people are anxious or frightened or self-excoriating in social settings; introverts generally are not. Introverts are also not misanthropic, though some of us do go along with Sartre as far as to say "Hell is other people at breakfast." Rather, introverts are people who find other people tiring.
Extroverts are energized by people, and wilt or fade when alone. They often seem bored by themselves, in both senses of the expression. Leave an extrovert alone for two minutes and he will reach for his cell phone. In contrast, after an hour or two of being socially "on," we introverts need to turn off and recharge. My own formula is roughly two hours alone for every hour of socializing. This isn't antisocial. It isn't a sign of depression. It does not call for medication. For introverts, to be alone with our thoughts is as restorative as sleeping, as nourishing as eating. Our motto: "I'm okay, you're okay—in small doses."..........
