Extra, Extra: Daylight Saving Time, Redevelopment, and a Nice, Hot Slice of Ford

By Steve Kupferman

Every weekday’s end, we collect just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.

Be prepared to travel forward in time this weekend. Photo by swilton, from the Torontoist Flickr Pool.

• Daylight Saving Time beings on Sunday, at 2 a.m. (So, essentially Saturday night.) This is the one where you turn your clocks forward, not back.
• UrbanToronto has a closer look at plans to redevelop One Yonge Street, current site of the Toronto Star‘s building. (Almost anything would be better looking than the Toronto Star‘s building.)
• Why haven’t more restaurants figured out that a surefire way to get publicity is to name a menu item after Mayor Rob Ford? That’s what this Danforth pizza place did. You know what? We’d order ourselves a slice of Ford.
• Monkey’s Paw, an antiquarian book shop on Dundas Street West, has caught the eye of the New York Times. “May just be publishing’s great new hope,” says the paper’s T Magazine. Well, probably not, but okay. In any case, we saw it first.
• This may be of interest to only a few of you, but it seems as though the Ryerson Review of Journalism is no longer a biannual publication. Effective immediately, its publisher tells J-Source, the respected student journal will only come out once per year. And yup, the change is for exactly the depressing reason you probably already suspect.
