With the Lights Out

2005_01_23blackout.gifDoesn’t the city know that blackouts are sooo 2003? Portions of downtown Toronto, including city hall and much of the shopping district, were without power for close to 11 hours yesterday. A broken water main in a secret underground hydro lair is said to have caused the outage. Without any street lights, Torontoist took it upon ourselves to direct traffic on the blacked-out streets. To all the motorists who honked in support of our efforts, you’re welcome.
