[URBAN NOTE] Five Toronto links: Bruce McArthur, Ontario Place, real estate, Chickadee and Owl, TTC

[rfmcdonald]

• This Toronto Star feature touches upon the continuing upset among the communities affected by the murders of Bruce McArthur.


• Polling suggests that most Torontonians want Ontario Place to remain a place where they can access Lake Ontario easily. I do like the idea of a ferris wheel, mind. The Toronto Star reports.


• blogTO notes that a small shack near the Art Gallery of Ontario is selling for $2.5 million. (The value, to be fair, is in the land the building sits on.)


• Jamie Bradburn shares some classic advertisements for children's science magazines Chickadee and Owl.


• Steve Munro analyses at length the City of Toronto's budget, specifically as it relates to the TTC.
