Extra, Extra: Silver Snails, Happy Mayors, and Real Jerks

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

We found out last month that the storied comic shop Silver Snail is moving to Yonge Street . Today, the store posted a video tour of its new space. It’s embedded above.

SickKids is in the middle of a big ad campaign that we don’t really understand. But it’s responsible for this magnificently awkward video of Mayor Rob Ford “doing the happy,” so we like it.
And The Real Jerk has finally revealed its new location after a months-long search prompted by an eviction crisis. The Caribbean restaurant will be moving to 625 Queen Street East, right next to the Don Valley Parkway. The new spot is pretty close to the old one at Queen Street and Broadview Avenue, which will shut down for good on Sunday. Let us never speak of this again.
