Ward 30

Normally I avoid car-oriented shopping meccas like the bad plague. But I was desperate, laundry was piling up and I was out of detergent. The brand I liked (Method Free + Clear) appeared to no longer be stocked at the two pedestrian-friendly Shoppers Drug Mart stores I checked. I grabbed my trusty shopping bike, an old Raleigh Twenty with a milk crate, and rolled off towards nearby big box hell at Lakeshore and Leslie.

If you happened to cross the Bloor Street Viaduct on Monday afternoon, you might have noticed David Curtis, his partner Laura and a couple of die-hard activists still givn’er with placards, after 4 solid days of Car Free activity.
