This terrifies me, I walk by that spot every day.
Wow, a lot worse than the initial report. Really sucks.

It was pretty surreal. Streets full of police and police cars, accompanied by live opera music on the stage at Yonge+Dundas Square.
Can only imagine.
Ate in the food court yesterday and was gonna hit the mall for a bite and some shoppin right when it all went down. Thank goodness I was lazy and stayed home till later.

Accompanied by thousands of people hanging around hoping to take pictures of someone with a bullet hole in his gut, no doubt.
Is it confirmed all are shooting victims, or did some people get hurt in the stampede afterwards? I imagine the place was packed like most Saturdays. If we weren't visiting in laws in Mississauga this weekend, it's likely we would have been in the area. Scary.

There's a few who are injured from bullet wounds. One woman was injured from being trampled and was pregnant, but its minor and she went into labour later on.

I just posted in the other thread but here it is again, I was there today.
Fuck man, I was with a friend of mine at SportCheck. He bought running shoes and we started going upstairs and all we heard was few rounds of gun fire. Then we started hearing people running while screaming "shooting" etc.
We then walked into this one store laying low, few girls beside us was crying, one of them was like I saw two people get shot. Then out of nowhere two people come up and ask us if anyone know french? Not sure where they are from but it was chaos over there.
In a bit it calmed down, we started walking to this crowd gathered spot, there was blood on the floor, then all I heard was "bang bang" again, I didn't even try looking back, my friend dropped his $100 pair of shoes and started running, I grabbed that bag and walked out safe. We met at the Esso gas station on Church & Dundas.
Crazy day. I did not freak out, but I did not dare to try to be a hero either, as to take footage or try to gather pics or something.

ROB FORD'S TORONTO

The slow transformation into his "Great American City."
That is a bad week for a city in any modern country.

If we're going to bash Rob Ford, let's comment on things that he actually has control over.
Jesus, people, I don't recall during The Year of The Gun people being dicks and saying "DAVID MILLER'S TORONTO" following shootings.
Eh, it's probably just a mild weekend in Baltimore.
At least Baltimore finally did something about their waterfront. Of course, I guess I'll take our terrible waterfront development over their other issues.

Sugar Beach is a whimsical addition to the city's waterfront landscape.

To be fair, a lot of people criticize(d) Miller for abandoning his pushbroom-shaking platform of "cleaning up city hall" and railed his "NDP-style politics" as ruining the city for local businesses. Anytime there was a strike in the city it was Miller's fault; anytime there was a resolution to a strike in the city it was Miller who handed out too many concessions.
I don't recall people being humourless under David Miller either. It was a joke about just that effect.

Like his weight?
I don't think Miller was a great mayor...but goddamn! You'd think in a city the size of TO, there'd be someone capable of running this damn place!
EM FOR MAYOR!

You see, EM? Your body IS ready!
Was waiting for a subway at Bloor-Yonge when the delays on the train hit. As soon as "emergency response personnel" or whatever was said over the PA by the automated voice, I immediately thought that it was something serious involving a SWAT team or something. Finally got up to the surface and used my phone to read what the hell was going on. It was mental. To hear that a kid was shot is heart-breaking.
Between this and the whole Luka Magnotta chapter we've got going on, this has been the roughest start to a summer I can remember Canada having. Magnotta and whoever shot up EC need to get caught. Fast.

Great news and good work by the police bringing the suspect into custody.
Also, fuck this weather right now. Freaking dreary and cold again =(

Looks like I know what I'm doing.
So I'm finally back in Toronto and it couldn't have come any sooner. The trips to New York are starting to feel longer every month.

Heh, my friend goes to school in Baltimore. She got mad when I told her I was a little scared to come visit.

I have a friend looking for an SNES and Earthbound, where might she be able to find these in Toronto?
