dundas square

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2004.11.20

They really are going nuts with 'developing' Dundas Square in Toronto. Even though the hoardings are still there on the NE corner (what's it been, now, six or seven years!), they've built yet another giant LED display on the square. This one is the largest ever. Now there are four of them, and they blot out what little light gets by the buildings. It looks like they're trying to ape Times Square.

In one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnation without government permission.
