Hi there.  Remember my predecessor for this blog Rob Salerno? 

Well, if you've been missing him here, now's your chance to go support him and say hi and thank him for the times you shared here at Toronto Diary.  Rob is running for Toronto City Councillor Ward 27 and is having a fundraising event this weekend at Fire on the East Side.  So, go check it out and support him!  Here's the link to the facebook event right here.

This is like a horror film to me:

Do you bike around this fair city? If you do, you'll know how important and awesome bike lanes are to your success in getting around the city in a sane and safe way. 

Rocco Rossi will prove unpopular to many people for many reasons, but one bone of contention that's been generating a buzz is his desire to dismantle and mitigate bike lanes around Toronto. What can we do to rise up against Rossi? Well, the answer, of course, is Facebook! Facebook, the third most popular site on the internet, a space where people feel comfortable making their voices heard by becoming fans of this or that. Well, the Facebook group here is trying to send a message to Rocco. They are trying to get more fans for a city bike lane than Mr. Rossi has himself. Right now Rocco has 5,654 fans and the bike lane has 2,631. Here's your chance to make a difference! Become a fan of the bike lane. I'm sure from the strength of this blog alone we can erase Rocco's mere 3003-fan lead.  Right? 

So, it looks like Terrence Koh really was just the tip of the proverbial ice berg. Piano by Damien Hirst? Hat by Frank Gehry? At MOCA! Wow. True artist, right here people:
