Sun Columnist Wants Men With Brooms
Awkwardly pixelated Sunshine girl Sue-Ann Levy thinks Mayor HairLooksGood should be sweeping the city, mostly to get rid of the unsightly litter she encounters on her morning jog. But what’s more alarming – that Levy jogs or that there are candy wrappers on Avenue Road? TOist isn’t really sure, but, blinded by our unfettered and undying fascination with the mayor’s prop collection, we will merely say that we disagree. No matter how much money we pour into litter management, there will always be one candy wrapper, or discarded copy of 24, or shrivelled old glove for people like Levy to harp on. She concedes:
In fairness, city officials have made some improvements. It only took seven years (since amalgmation(sic)) but responsibility for litter collection has now been consolidated under one manager.
So there you have it. TOist does agree that an unfortunate amount of litter seems to surface as the snow melts on balmy spring days like today. But the Mayor’s litter pick-up day is just around the corner, so with any luck Levy’s jog can return to pristine cleanliness in a matter of weeks.
