What’s happening April 26, 2010:

If that makes you want to walk down to city hall and knock on Mammoliti’s door, it’s going to get a lot tougher come May 3. While nobody can just walk in, in the past a simple call from the inside of City Hall’s second floor outer ring would allow anyone to enter. Now everyone needs a sign-in/sign-out escort.

42,000 gallons of oil a day is what’s spewing from that offshore drilling platform that failed in the Gulf of Mexico. Ironicly, this disaster comes less than a month after Obama’a offshore drilling expansion announcement.

Back at home, Scarborough residents are getting burned by buried 60s-era zoning that’s bubbled up as high-rise condos. Their councillor is willing to fight for them, and it should be interesting to see the argument that a lot has been learned about zoning and planning since the late 60s can sway the OMB.

Finally, somewhat connected, a U.K. artist has created a beautiful imagined city skyline out of staples. More shots on the artist’s website.[rssbreak]
