ART: Side Space Gallery open their "new.Re.new" exhibit today, featuring five artists. Each piece of fibrework, sculpture, or painting is by an artist either new to the gallery, new to the neighbourhood, or new to art creation in general, so be nice and offer directions to any amateur artists you find wandering aimlessly near the gallery. Side Space Gallery (1080 St. Clair Avenue West), opening reception at 7 p.m., runs until January 16, 2009, FREE.

One more piece of bad news for Jane Pitfield's campaign: besides having one of the worst glamour shots we've ever seen on her media page (see above), whoever's writing her blog for her is cribbing Spacing Votes, Spacing Magazine's election blog. Details are a bit scarce, but what we know for sure so far is that for several days a recent entry on Jane Pitfield's blog copied one of John Lorinc's - almost word for word - without credit.

Is this what the Annex could've looked like? The above rendering is what the vibrant corner of Bloor and Spadina would've looked like if the Spadina Expressway had been built and just one example of how close this city came to making one of its largest planning blunders.

In the news of the world wide web, Joe Clark (not to be confused with the real Joe Clark) has just informed us of his new neighbourhood website, The Free City of Leslieville. Though it's purported to be about Leslieville, the content of Joe Clark's most recent web-venture concerns two subjects: Joe Clark and how much Joe Clark doesn't like Spacing.
