Workmen gather for meeting with supervisors

There was an industrial accident at the corner of Mt. Pleasant and Eglinton Ave. Wednesday mid-morning. It is thought to have involved demolition work at the old bank building which is being re-built to serve as the LRT station. Bricks and stone sills are being stored so that the building may be re-built to an appearance similar to its original. Large doors and other necessary features will be installed to permit the crowds which will use the station.

Turkish President Erdogan back in Instanbul fighting coup

It appears the president of Turkey, Tayyip Erdogan is successfully fighting back against a coup by Turkish army rebels who bombed his country home. Erdogan is said to have fled to Bulgaria briefly before returning to a sympathetic crowd at Istanbul airport. He did not go to the capital, Ankara, which may not be under his control. The country is in chaos following the coup attempt and the situation remains unclear. But by Saturday morning, a top Turkish official said the coup attempt appeared to have been repelled. The senior official told The Associated Press that all government officials were in charge of their offices. The official requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. As many as 42 people are dead in Ankara and a number of soldiers are under arrest .
