joey: are you sure? these look like they were in the 'mad max' movies.

in response to Re: Cycle / Rickshaws

joey: evilG. no all nighters for me anymore. those days are mostly behind me now. you know, some photos are always 'there' and it just takes the right moment to get to them. like those stir sticks have been in our diningroom windows for a couple of years now, but it...

Elicar: It's food!

in response to Max Fish Bathroom Graf

Biff: Pets or food?

in response to Medussa

torontofreelance: I hope you did'nt sit down. washrooms like that are great for developing strong calf muscles.

in response to Max Fish Bathroom Graf

Biff: Their coffee is triple strength. You can smell it from across Parlement Street.

in response to Couriers\' Cafe

Laura : It was pretty impressive. My friend was waiting to use the toilet, and when I came out he was asking what the hell took me so long. "Taking pictures!" "Of the toilet?" "You'll see, its great." He was impressed. :)

in response to Max Fish Bathroom Graf

GGP: is that where the doughboy resides?

in response to Pillsbury A Mill

GGP: serious stuff. impressive that no one, clearly, has ever attempted to clean these walls (or the ceiling)!

in response to Max Fish Bathroom Graf

Myke: I've never seen a toilet surrounded by so much graffiti. That's brilliant.

in response to Max Fish Bathroom Graf

insightoner: I have a great amount of respect for all ethnicities and I find that Hispanics and those of Latin decent the most interesting! I enjoy the culture very very much and my ex boyfriend was 100% mexican and I absolutely loved his family and culture.....AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH^^^^ other then being some plain cracker...

elaine:

in response to Let It Out/keep It in

elaine: caged

in response to Let It Out/keep It in

Elicar: I could agree with you Jeeff, but because of the subjectivity of the methodology used in the ranking, it has a major impact on the result. "The survey asks questions about direct attacks on journalists and the media as well as other indirect sources of pressure against the free press." The more...

in response to Freedom of Speech!

elaine: flower market, see. bizarrely enough, this street, despite being in a prime location now, never used to be, so a lot of the shops ONLY open on a sunday, they are totally orientated towards the market, and needn't open in the week. nice work if you can get it. this...

in response to 3 More Days to Go

elaine: this *rawks*

in response to California Palms

elaine: i love the googley eyes

in response to Honolulu is for the Birds

jeeff: and if you see a rainbow, make a wish.

in response to On The Lines

jeeff: i don't think the size of a country's population would affect the ease of maintaining a free press too much.

in response to Freedom of Speech!

Elicar: Interesting ranking: 7 countries tied for rank 1, yet the next rank is 8, not 2. The ranking is based on the number of countries, rather than the results of their methodology. It did not consider the ties. If the ties were considered, Canada is # 8 and the US would...

in response to Freedom of Speech!

Jo : March 18 2006, The Elevator is not run by the parks department, or at least not Physicaly. The Elevator Operators are outsorced. They are from a private company that applies for a contract each year. The elevator is a unique and historic place. Great place to take to Kids or...

in response to Public Elevator

vz: i don't know, i'm thinking maybe they should look like this http://www.metro.ru/stations/arbatsko-pokrovskaya/arbatskaya/ (or this http://www.metro.ru/stations/koltsevaya/kievskaya/ or this http://www.metro.ru/stations/arbatsko-pokrovskaya/kievskaya/ ... ) when the capital is also the largest city, and the national leader has a fascination with underground bunkers, you do end up with some interesting fringe benefits.

in response to Subway Decay

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Looks just like the Verrazano Bridge. www.nycroads.com/crossings/verrazano-narrows

in response to Bosphorus Bridge

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I'm interested to find out what kind of toilet is only open Sundays. One at a church, perhaps?

in response to 3 More Days to Go

torontofreelance: The poverty problem has become an industry. On an annual basis they spend over 600 million dollars on the issue. Instead of paying groups, consultants, etc. build housing. But if that happenend and the homeless had a place to live, there would be a lot of people out...

in response to Honolulu is for the Birds

Micah: Rheostatics! Or at least Martin Tielli. Cool!

in response to What The?

EvilGentleman: Wow, three cocktail stir sticks, with the bay in the background. I gotta give you credit for pulling that one off, joey, it actually looks ok. And I bet you did that after pulling an all-night St. Patrick's Day celebration, too.

in response to California Palms

Micah: oops tried to post a link but it didn't seem to work. If you really want to see it you'll have to copy-paste this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reporters_Without_Borders (Ed. - enclose a url with double square brackets to make it hotlink)

in response to Freedom of Speech!

Micah: The US is ranked 44th in the world for press freedom. #1 is a 7-way tie between Finland, Iceland, Norway, Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Ireland. Canada is 21st (tied with Lithuania).

in response to Freedom of Speech!

EvilGentleman: Oooh, I just noticed the H&R Block tax centre sharing the building with the appliance store. And it is the heart of income tax season, too. That has to really suck, trying to explain why your return is late due to a fire. I guess a few hundred people will...

in response to St. Patrick\'s Fire

tina: i luve it di bridge its verrry hot

in response to Bosphorus Bridge

EvilGentleman: I just heard media reports saying that over 100 firefighters were called to control this fire, and that the only injury was one firefighter who suffered some facial cuts. Apparently the fire started on the second floor above the appliance store, and then spread to other buildings, leaving 12 apartments...

in response to St. Patrick\'s Fire

Micah: That is quite accurate. The recycling in the blue bag actually has far more class...

in response to Trash Media

Micah: Nice!

in response to Burning the Midnight Oil

EvilGentleman: The smashed windows were the least of their worries. I drove by again late this afternoon, and here is the aftermath: The appliance store was totally destroyed, and I imagine the stores on either side of it shall have to be torn down as well. The wreckage was still smouldering 12...

in response to St. Patrick\'s Fire

jeeff: i agree.

in response to Trash Media

jeeff: cool. the smoke & fire & lights at night make for some pretty interesting lighting in the photos. i used to live in a tall highrise in the center of toronto (i was on the 24th floor) and the fire alarm went off all the time. it...

in response to St. Patrick\'s Fire

jeeff: nice. just tell us what title you want and the editors will add it.
