Pup Ziggy knows Ryan, rails go down at Eglinton/Vic Park

Upper left we find Ziggy, the 11-month old friend of Green Canoe Cafe owner Ryan Horwood. Ziggy may eat out back at the Millwood Rd. breakfast and lunch restaurant but he probably can’t order Portuguese custard tarts like you can. Upper right in this Friday summary of local scenes, those are real steel tracks now being put down in the Eglinton Crosstown guideway at Victoria Park Ave. TTC rails towards the Rouge River. Amazing. Below that a couple more of the sleek new benches installed all up and down South Bayview Ave. Thursday night. They’ll be nice in June. Then some worthwhile reminders of jazz at Northlea United and the coming push to clean up Toronto for Spring. Get in there.
