This week: planetariums, light-rail vehicles, and health signs
- The long-dormant McLaughlin Planetarium might end up being demolished in two years, and a new group called Planetarium Toronto wants to stop it from happening.* This is also how I learned that people really miss Lazer Zeppelin.
- A small but positive change for Toronto Public Health’s food-safety program: the DineSafe signs you see in the windows of every restaurant, grocery store, and take-out joint in town are getting smartphone-friendly.
- And I spent my Wednesday at City Hall, covering the most important day there in an awfully long time, as council overruled Rob Ford’s transit plan and brought back something not altogether unlike Transit City. (That’s Marcus Gee’s article in the Globe about it; all my reporting, which included listening in on the journalism school students I sat beside, was on Twitter, where you could always follow me, sheesh.)
(* means an article or a version of it appeared in The Grid in print; otherwise, it was online-exclusive.)
