There is good advertising and there is bad advertising. There is even good guerilla advertising—depending on who you ask. Take, for instance, Boston's "Mooninites" promoting the Aqua Teen Hunger Force film, which polarized (and paralyzed) the city; last week's Fashion Targets Breast Cancer Tees, which polarized Torontoist commenters; or, now, GJP Advertising's party streamer installation on Queen Street, just outside of Nathan Phillips Square.

Meteorologists predict that this summer will be a scorcher, with temperatures in the 30-degree range for most of August. Don't worry, it won't be as hot as the summer of 2005. And sadly, it won't be as groovy as the summer of 1967.

At 9:30 PM last night, Pearson Airport's drab but functional Terminal 2 saw its final departure take off for the United States. In April the process of tearing down the building will begin, first with its concrete crushed to be used as the sub-base for a strip of new tarmac. The closing of Terminal 2 and it's Mayan temple-like parking garage marks the end of Pearson Airport's lengthy and expensive Airport Development Plan (or ADP). At 4.5 billion dollars, it is the single most expensive project in Canada's history and is largely to blame for Toronto's dubious honour of having the highest airport landing fee in the world. The airport has already recently seen the demolition of the old Terminal 1, the construction of its big and fancy successor, and the installation of the LINK Interterminal Shuttle connecting Terminals 1 and 3.

It took this S.U.V. about ten minutes to clear into this Kensington Market parking garage. The guy outside had to push the clearance bar up so that the fat ride could get through. Guess the driver didn't stop to think that the clearance bar outside is indicative of the clearance heights inside the garage. It was funny for the first few minutes, but got tiresome quickly, as a crowd gathered to watch the monstermobile try to squeeze itself inside. Finally it got in, and someone told the driver he was stupid, screamed it out a window in fact. Can't say we disagreed.
