Pieces of the Gardiner Expressway have been falling off for quite some time now but the deterioration of 65-year-old elevated road running along downtown Toronto’s southern edge is now unnervingly visible.

Pequeños luchadores

Sarah and me managed to once again successfully infiltrate the CNE. Our reward: a unique lucha libre exhibition.

There was one more image in this series but it was just too gruesome so you’ll have to use your imagination. (hint: wee balls were involved)

This poignantly apropos image was snapped somewhere in the subterranean bowels of St. Michael’s Hospital some time in late July 2021. Priorities sure were different in those days!

Just happened to be wandering the vicinity when … look at what I spotted. Seem familiar?!

Yeah … hoisted dinghies in an urban jungle. Nice. I’ll be expecting my royalty cheque some time in September.

William, 31

Posted on July 10th, 2023 – Comments Off on William, 31

Let me start out by stating that I genuinely believe that the cops are simply working with that they have on this one. It just so happens that it ain’t much.

Here’s William, 31, (no last name provided) from an undated photo from (ostensibly) somewhere inside Pearson International Airport:

From the missing person report: “William is described as having a medium build and medium length brown hair.” William, 31, with a medium build and medium length brown hair, was last spotted just over four months ago in one of the terminals of Toronto’s fairly busy international airport.

Does that help to jog your memory? Maybe if you take your glasses off?
