Extra, Extra: Some Colour for Finch West, Some Cheese for TVO, and Some Google Instant For Everyone
Every weekday’s end, Extra, Extra collects just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.
Finch West Station’s stripe-y main entrance. Rendering from the TTC’s report.
- Finch West Station isn’t built yet, but its newly revealed design sure looks like it was hatched in the 1980s. (This zinger works, too.) There’s more about the new station, one stop on the forthcoming Spadina subway extension, in a TTC report [PDF].
- Nostalgia? Disdain? Your emotional mileage may vary for “You’re My Home,” a cheesy but earnest music video commissioned for TVO’s fortieth anniversary.
- Google Instant has arrived in Canada. And all it took for us to get to “Toronto” was “to,” which means, thankfully, the name of our city is less objectionable than the phrase “tainted love.”
- Eye‘s article about Rocco Rossi, George Smitherman, Sarah Thomson, and Joe Pantalone’s respective best ideas is worth the price of admission for the image of what that a hypothetical “Frankenmayor” would look like.
- And if you ever wanted proof that Canada has a whole lot of cell phone towers, here’s the map.
