The City has completed new safety arrangements at the tricky corner where cars exit Danforth Ave onto the DVP across bicycle lanes.

Harry Potter store opens in Manhattan
We love the success of J.K. Rowling. When she tried to sell her first manuscript of Harry Potter back in 1995, publishers said it was too conventional, too long, too weird or too old-fashioned. Now who’s laughing

Will James Bond now come in an Amazon box?
Many may wonder whatever happened to the idea of anti-trust legislation as Amazon announced the purchase of MGM Studios including the James Bond franchise. The CNBC wonks wonder if it isn’t slightly sinister.
