Adam Giambrone's new office

Adam Giambrone, famous in Toronto for a sex scandal and being economical with the truth over his expenses, has caused much grief as head of the Toronto Transit Commission. The hard working grunts have got their own back by building a new office for him at High Park station. It has been carefully designed so that a couch will not fit in as well as a desk, and is situated far from a taxi rank so that he cannot take the taxpayer for a ride any longer.

Return to the scene of the chrome

My good friend Richard Banks is all for rescuing this Plymouth Barracuda so I thought I had better take another look - not as far gone as I thought - but likely all gone underneath. See PunchBuggy Passim.

Charlie Gillett, disc jockey, is gone.

Departing at dusk

The commuter train departing is at Lucien-L'Allier station, Montreal, on March 16, 2010.

Urgently seeking vintage tin

Out and about in Toronto on a wet day and spotted this Rambler in a yard on North Queen. Further on saw this Fiat on Munster Avenue. The Rambler name is toast but we are waiting for the return of the Italian marque in Canada.

P.S. Best guess on the Rambler is 1959.

New terminal for Hogtown airport

Pictured is the old terminal at Billy Bishop City Centre Airport in Toronto, taken from a new angle out of the window of the new terminal, which went live today. Like with all changes something is lost and something gained. The new terminal was very busy on our visit and we look forward to the building of the pedestrian tunnel, which should smooth out the flow of passenger arrivals and departures. I suggest they should name the tunnel in honour of departing Mayor Miller, as in Custer's last stand, a fitting monument to his greatest political defeat (not counting the dustbin strike).
