The Making of a Medley
Each weekday for the next two weeks, Torontoist is facing off local memes and blog drama in a tournament-style ladder and you, the reader, decide the outcome.
View the full ladder here. Some highlights from yesterday's matches:
Jane Jacobs makes Yonge-Dundas look square (107-95): The usually untouchable Jacobs was thrown off her game early on by anti-gun rallies, massive video billboards and a late-game PR stunt by a chewing gum company, but pulled ahead with minutes to go. Kyle Rae grabs an assist for a slam dunk by Metropolis.
Power Plant burns Megabins (70-66): In a close mid-day victory, Torontonians made it know that they prefer air pollution to visual pollution, and would rather have a clean streetscape than clean air. Zany!
Islands silence the Docks (105-35): Residents of Ward Island grabbed points early in the game by distracting the Docks with noise complaints. Reggaeton nights get put on the bench in the second half.
Today's matches, Region II, 1st Round:
Bohemian Embassy vs. West Side LoftsPolls after the jump.
Condo Boom vs. Suburb Growth
416 vs. 905
Queen East vs. Queen West
Yonge Street vs. Porn Shops

Kevin! I _love_ that this is in the sports category.
I appreciate there's a kind of DIY vagueness with this, but how did CN Tower Ice win out over the Gardiner? Who voted for the former, and why?
How about Newmindspace vs. Corporate World??
I voted for CN Tower ice because it's never happened before and it forced them to close one of the main arteries going in and out of the city; then they were all secret about what they were going to do about it and hired some mysterious Waterdown company to chip it away in the dead of night under a non-disclosure agreement and CityTV reporters were dramatically wearing bike helmets when doing their stories on it.
