The Republic of Rathnelly is quite fictional but somehow very real in the minds of those who live there. It is a bit afield of South Bayview but a charming place. Josh Matlow (Toronto Ward 22) notes that the Rathnelly Republicans, otherwise known as the Rathnelly Area Residents Association, (RARA) are invited to a meeting tomorrow night (Wednesday, January 23, 2013) for information and consultation on issues such as the repair or replacement of the mural on the MacPherson Street railway overpass. Also on the agenda, beautification of the area in front of the parking lot on MacPherson and keeping the Pump Park a convivial meeting place for all residents. The meeting is at 7 pm at Huron Public School, 57 Huron Street.
