For those who like parking and curbside, I’ve launched The @Parkicity Post, a weekly newsletter that covers curbside trends, parking news, and a Sign of the Week worth a second look (sadly, I have 100s of parking signs in Google Photos). It's only a 2 minute read - quicker than finding a legal parking spot downtown #parking #newsletter linkedin.com/newsletters/th…

@lachlan This is just like the Black Mirror episode from the latest season.

I'll withhold judgment until Sunday, but in all likelihood the best Super Bowl commercial contest has already been won

@butchgt9800 Funny, as I read both of Recursion and This is How You Lose the Time War this Year. Semi similar vibes is The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August

Honestly, I love this so much. Let's go Jays!

@gui_blais @BenSteiner00 Hilarious - I ended up becoming apart of that group! The K's were being saved for a 2-sided sign, but we scrapped the sign and eventually replaced the tape.

@BenSteiner00 There was another group somewhere in the 210s who also ran out of paper at one point!

Some fans at the Rogers Centre have been putting Ks up for the Jays strikeouts. 10 were up tonight as we left — I think they ran out of paper. Trey Yesavage had 12 of the Jays 15 strikeouts tonight.

As a parking and tech nerd, I find this pretty wild

If you greatly reduce or eliminate parking mandates for development, you can build more housing instead of parking spaces! texastribune.org/2023/11/02/aus…

@TO_Cycling_Ped Is there a map or a link to current closures on the rail path (such as the Bloor GO by Dundas West), or updates on the extension of the West Rail Path to Stanley Park? This link seems a bit out of date toronto.ca/services-payme…

The City is rehabilitating the Dupont Street Bridge under Metrolinx Rail, which includes converting the timber deck to asphalt for a more comfortable cycling experience. The Railpath from the Osler Street Laneway to Ruskin Avenue will be closed until mid to late October. (1/2)

@TaylorTwellman I was at the game he didn't shake Evra's hand, and was at the Ghana World Cup match where he decided to use his hands!

I was in studio when he bit Chiellini. I was on the call when he spit on a 72 year old security guard. Despicable. #LeaguesCup

Yesterday's Wordle was Loris, which I admittedly have never heard of. My guesses were like that Bort license plate scene from the Simpsons #Wordle1490

@JoshMatlow So many US cities have a great food truck culture - we need that here. When I worked at Yonge/St Clair, they had Food Truck Tuesdays (I think), and a taco truck had enough for I think 100 people and sold out in <30 mins, beyond their expectations. Multi-use curbs > parking!

Love this tea van at Yonge & Eg! More street food options. Attracts customers and can pull business to nearby bricks and mortar stores. Entrepreneurial creativity and innovation on wheels. Free the Food Trucks.

I was behind the net for all of this drama, one of the craziest matches I have seen live

That’s fine I’ll just go up to the Arctic when I’m thirsty and eat snow off the ground directly with my face. Would that work?

@robyndoolittle I always associate you with Ford (not in a negative way). I couldn't even imagine the feeling when the tip came in, the fear of leaving your phone and stepping into a car. Definite career milestone

With the new Rob Ford mini doc out on Netflix, many people are reaching out about this crazy time. People want to know what I *really* thought about Toronto's former mayor. This piece I wrote after he passed away a decade ago sums it up: theglobeandmail.com/news/national/…

@dieworkwear Would you wear a vest/waistcoat as a guest or too much?

Wedding season is May through October, so I wrote something for Mr. Porter about how to dress for a wedding. Some suggestions for both grooms and guests! mrporter.com/en-us/journal/…

This is hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🚲 Bike lane backlash, flexible curb signs, and a NIMBY comic on bad planning - Volume 2 of The @Parkicity Post is out now linkedin.com/pulse/volume-2…

These kind of parking stats always blow my mind #EarthDay

Seems like progress to me!
