There’s been admirable restraint among the world’s April 1 jesters this year. The whimsical bits of fakery created by YouTube (we’re shutting down) and Google (smell search a zillion scents) were sufficiently outlandish to inspire a sense of fun, not fear. The South Bayview Bulldog had considered declaring a full closure of the street this summer so that the business district could be re-paved in an experimental chrome yellow asphalt — but we decided to give it a pass. And, as we got worked up, did you know that RioCan, owners of the Sunnybrook Plaza had agreed to let the TTC short turn the Eglinton Ave. E. bus through the mall? Happy April’s Fools Day, everyone, victims of which you are not.
