#space#OTD October 4 1957, the launch of Earth's first artificial satellite, USSR's Sputnik 1, a world-wide sensation which initiated the "space race" with USA. Globe and Mail front page the next day: "Hear Signal Loud, Clear Over Toronto" i remember it well... i was an 8-year-old science nerd

front page of the Globe and Mail, Saturday October 5, 1957... headline says "RUSSIA LAUNCHES FIRST SATELLITE"...
featured is a photo of Canada's Avro Arrow, which made its first public appearance the same day (October 4)

#Toronto i feel like the answer to what happens to Toronto's separate waste and recycling streams is adequately explained by this illustration

a waste bin stands in front of a new condo at 1414 Bayview Ave, with two receptacles, for Trash and Recycling, with graphics on the front showing an old-fashioned garbage can on the Trash side and stylized arrows on the Recycling side... but the arrows seem to point from the Recycling receptacle to the Trash can

#Toronto during construction, please moonwalk backwards down the street

an excavator is ripping up the road surface on Bennington Heights at Heath St East... there is a yellow sign with a stylized walking pedestrian, and an arrow pointing in the opposite direction

“If you believe climate change is true” …. I don’t believe in it. It’s a fact. No belief needed.

In the column I mention the old Cherry Street Bridge control booth that also should have been preserved as part of the Villiers Island redevelopment. Alas. My photo from Spring 2023.
