Mine was called a Footsie and it had a red bell on the end (late '60s/early '70s)

My late mother had an animatronic cat while she was dealing with dementia in the final year of her life. She named it Lesley (after me 😒) and it gave her great comfort.

They did it a few years ago on the 501 (at least here in the east end) though some of the choices they made were a bit odd.

That's wild. As far as I know, I've never had COVID. I take an antihistamine daily because of allergies. I'm also vaccinated/boosted and followed masking protocols.

You give people too much credit. That would require them knowing what Persian means/is.

Jones Ave is a key N/S route for cyclists. Besides the pavement being in horrible condition, the painted bike lane is insufficient to keep us safe.
Why is parking being prioritized over people's safety?
