We have to admit we kind of like Fever Pitch. Sure, it's a formulaic rom-com, but it's a lot better than what we typically have to sit through. More to the point, it makes such great use of its Boston locations (particularly the stuff in and around Fenway Park) that you would hardly know how much of it was shot here.

Critical Mass bike rides in cities around the world stir up strong feelings on all sides. Rides in New York have seen arrests and assaults against cyclists, while riders in Seattle have been described as "rampaging." Critical Mass has become a polarizing event and although Toronto's version seems a little less controversial, the trip along the Gardiner Expressway in May was alternately hailed and vilified.

Pulse24 is reporting that a pair of east end dogs have succumbed to poison. Torontoist wonders whether this is an isolated incident or a continuation of the poisoned hot dog epidemic from a couple of years ago. It seems a little unlikely considering the owner points out that his backyard is completely fenced off but it doesn't mean that the dogs couldn't have eaten something on a walk.
