- We can see residents of Kensington Market not wanting a Starbucks in their ‘hood, but the Junction? A Starbucks there may well mark a turning point for the not-gentrifying-fast-enough area, but it’s not likely to be a change for the worse.
- We’re very very late to this party, but if you haven’t seen or heard “Come on Fucking Guy” by Lakeshore-bred rapper Chuggo, you should just go ahead and watch the music video right now. (Unless you’re at work, in which case you should really wait, or put headphones on.)
- Hey, stop it, Justin Bieber! You’re going to ruin everything!
- Toronto Life gets the Toronto Star‘s movie ratings down to a scientific formula.
- Meanwhile, in a rather uncomfortable bit of conflict of interest, Graham Duncan, who reviews a beer made by Duggan’s Brewery in this week’s NOW, discloses in that review that he is also the sales rep for Duggan’s. Yuck.
- And if you haven’t yet, this weekend you should vote on Sherbourne Park’s new name—the semi-finalist round of public voting closes on Monday at midnight, and more than one thousand people have cast ranked ballots so far.
