Every weekday’s end, Extra, Extra collects just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.

- This “regrettable piece of trash” is what, according to Urban Toronto, will replace the former home of Duke’s Cycle on Queen West—which burned down in March 2008’s big fire.

- The Toronto Star gave its article pages a bit of a redesign with bigger photos, sometimes. Who knows?
- And Alan Vernon’s out as editorial director of Eye Weekly. In, as first reported by Mondoville: Laas Turnbull, former editor of Report on Business and Shift. Still there, thankfully: senior editor Ed Keenan.
