Extra, Extra: Old Maps, Tasered Coyotes, and Drake
Every weekday’s end, we collect just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.
Detail of the 1827 Chewett Plan of the Town of York.
- Nathan Ng just launched a website that gives users easy access to some very old maps of Toronto (one of which, from 1827, is pictured above).
- A former broadcast intern dishes on the time she was made to fetch Pepto Bismol for a certain mayoral candidate with an upset tummy. Aww.
- Here’s yet another video of the TTC’s next-generation streetcar in the wild.
- Now wait just a second, Ward 4 Councillor Gloria Lindsay Luby. If we start tasering Toronto’s coyotes instead of shooting them, what prevents them from fighting back with elaborate homemade weaponry?
- Also possibly of interest: Drake snuck a reference to last summer’s Danzig Street shootings into a new song he did with the artist formerly known as Snoop Dogg. You can listen to it here.
