I had a lot of fun operating The Burning Pit at the uTOpia launch yesterday. I was gratified that people seemed to really experience some catharsis when they rang the silver bell and I cut the cable, sending their demon plummeting into the fiery depths. Here are the Toronto demons that were banished throughout the day:
condo developers
Ontario Municipal Board
mega bins & sign variances
Hummers & SUVs
SUVs & Minivans
cars that cut off bikes
"pedestrians cross other side" signs at intersections
police harrassment
Rogers Video strip mall at Yonge and Roxborough
proliferation of Tim Hortons
city by-laws "weed" inspectors who continue to attack non-conventional gardens/gardeners
block apartment buildings
people who don't smile back
always waiting for permission
aggressive, reckless drivers
pushy people, no smiles, greedy drivers
ugly new proposed refuse bins & other impediments to pedestrian traffic
transit sucks, need to drive car
Motomedia truck billboards
crime
drivers oblivious to cyclists
pot holes in bike lanes
The Drake (Fake) Hotel
Homelessness, blame the victim legislation, bad cops
self entitled Rosedale drivers in their fucking S.U.V.s
red tape
the DVP
no bike lane on Dupont
bridge just east of Atlantic on King St.
Annex Yuppie Mafia
24 hour nothings
Dundas Square
violence/crime
lack of good bike lanes
lookism
billboards @ Yonge & Dundas
City-TV
garbage
HIV
