Extra, Extra: Yard Sale Rules, Nuit Blanche Maybe Didn’t, and Hog Wild for Justin Bieber!
Every weekday’s end, Extra, Extra collects just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.
- Who knew that “no more than two garage sales may be held in any year from a premises located in any residential zone”? Torontoist’s Steve Kupferman takes to his own blog (read it!) to explore the surprisingly strict chapter of Toronto’s Municipal Code that deals with yard sales.
- If you saw a man with a big empty picture frame and a camera walking around Nuit Blanche, taking photos of people inside that frame—well, that was art, too. Framed! is one-time Torontoist contributor Rannie Turingan’s Nuit Blanche portrait project, a follow-up to 2008’s GET FRAMED. Meanwhile, the Star‘s Photo Blog collects some of their photographers’ shots from the night. You probably know by now that we were up all night and have some ideas on how to make things better next time ’round.
- And well-played, National Post, for titling this article “Overturned truck of pigs hogs Toronto highway during rush hour.”
- Congratulations to NOW, who were challenged twice in Canadian libraries in 2009, more than any other periodical and twice as much as the Gossip Girl book series. Only one thing was challenged three times, which means that we, as a people, really need to come together and work harder to limit intellectual freedom.
- Justin Bieber was at a wedding in Toronto. You care so much about that, don’t you?
- The Toronto Sun Family blog, run by (current? former?) Sun employees has a bone to pick with the Globe and Mail‘s redesign: how come their death notices are still in black and white???
- Et voici dix bonnes raisons d’aller à Toronto, dans Glamour.
