Consider: The area of downtown formerly known as “the club district” seems to be turning into some kind of giant, family-friendly rec-room.
So now, instead of dropping ecstasy, waving a glow stick around, and dancing until dawn, you can go bowling with your family at The Ballroom while noshing on quinoa salad and hot dogs made of “artisanal beef” or see a foreign film at the TIFF Lightbox, or (come summer) play a wholesome game of table-tennis at Spin, a spanking new ping-pong boutique.
Meanwhile, Mayor Rob Ford has declared a vendetta on graffiti, vowing the downtown will be “spotless” by the time he’s through. First salvo: A summons to the Brickworks, demanding they clean the murals and tags off their historically significant walls.
City Councillor Adam Vaughan is spearheading a campaign to curtail the Animal House antics of several downtown fraternities, saying “We don’t want to stop their parties, we just don’t want them waking up the neighbours.” |
