| Hogtown City Limits XI 66 days ago by RLT To the Royal York Hotel for the Annual Meeting of the Toronto Port Authority who manage, among other things, Toronto Island Airport, this year celebrating its seventieth anniversary.

| Let's go to the Ex II 75 days ago by RLT We took the special express bus from Dundas West to the Ex on opening day. We queued in the sunshine to pay our $1.75 entry fee (normally $15).

| Let's go the Ex 85 days ago by RLT We went on Thursday by bicycle but it turns out they didn't want us at all. They were paying guys good money to keep folk out of the CNE, known as the Ex.
