Extra, Extra: Find a Meteor, and Give the Gift of Transit
Every weekday’s end, we collect just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.
- What is your favourite place in Toronto? Ryerson student Adam Bischoff asked a bunch of residents that question, and captured their answers in the video above. “It was made as a project for the film production course at Ryerson University,” he told us by email. “We were asked to make a short one to three minute documentary that speaks to the phrase ‘I live here.’ We wanted to find out people’s favorite places in the city and shoot them to try and get a feel for each location.”
- Another thing to celebrate about Toronto: our transit system. Beleaguered though it is, and frustating though we often find it, the TTC is an undeniable, inextricable part of life in the city. For transit-loving Torontonians, BlogTO has put together a list of five TTC-themed gift ideas, ranging from the readable to the wearable.
- Winterlicious: love it or hate it, the restaurant festival is now an entrenched part of the annual calendar, and marks its 10th anniversary this year. The list of participating restaurants, and their respective prix fixe menus, is now online, if you want to get a jump on planning. Reservations open January 12.
- The Royal Ontario Museum and University of Western Ontario are hoping you can help them out. If you happened to catch a glimpse of what looked like a fireball in the sky Monday night, that was actually a meteor falling to earth—researchers believe, just north of Peterborough. If you saw the meteor or think you may have found fragments from it, do your bit for science and get in touch with them.
