Extra, Extra: Red in Toronto, TED on Suburbs, and a Turtle on the Lam
Every weekday’s end, Extra, Extra collects just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.
- Red, coming out this fall, stars Helen Mirren, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, and John Malkovich as retired CIA agents. Toronto, if Red‘s trailer is any indication, will play a supporting role as an undercover city.
- As primers on how to urbanize suburbs go, you could do worse than “Retrofitting suburbia,” a great TEDx talk from Ellen Dunham-Jones.
- After some embarrassment when they first popped up almost a year ago, the TTC’s neighbourhood maps are back and are…still a little embarrassing.
- From Eye, buried during the G20 but worth a read now: a piece by Paul Gallant about queerness and the mayoral race, featuring what might be the best lead paragraph in any article about the election so far.
- Over at Spacing, John Lorinc lists “10 questions a G20 inquiry should address.”
- And thanks to CityNews, you too can experience the drama of a turtle being rescued from the side of the road at Bayview and Steeles. Thanks, TV.
