OK! - I've successfully managed to switch to Beta Blogger - not to be confused with Beta Blocker.
To continue with more observations from yesterday's long walk. After I reached St. Clair & Bathurst, I headed down to Spadina - to check out the 'LRT' and the general scene.
Well - first the good news. The adult media store pictured above is closing. Sorry guys - this has to count as good news in my books.
Now the not so good news. The Spadina 'LRT' - which means 'Ligh Rail Transit' - was running with heavy bunching. No - this doesn't mean that the merchants were bringing in bananas on the streetcars. It means that the streetcars were running in bunches. On my walk from Bloor to Queen, I saw:
2 occurences of a single streetcar
3 occurrences of two streetcars running together
1 occurence of three streetcars running together
1 occurence of four streetcars running together
Now the theory of dedicated ROWs is that that they're supposed to stop bunching. I guess that's just like the theory that streetcar service can carry more riders than buses - one that doesn't hold water.
The ugly? The street still has a big graffitti problem. A little less trash on the ground - but still quite an unappealing vista.
