#897, Life in the City

A Starbucks with all of its windows broken. While there are some good questions about why police weren't protecting private businesses, it's also worth noting that the police museum and headquarters just down the street also had some windows broken. A wall of officers stood in front of it, but didn't move against the vandals.

An unusual trait for a city police force is patience. The Toronto force has always seemed happy to give people as much rope as they want to hang themselves with. Not that it helps the forty-odd businesses along Yonge street that were damaged, but I suspect that there will actually be some criminal convictions out of this mess.

See that little thing up in the top-right corner of the frame?

Who needs Flickr?

I have broken the links to hundreds and hundreds of photos, which will take a long time to repair. The workaround is to replace "photo.matthewpiers" in the link URL with "matthewpiers.smugmug". Awkward, but only temporary.

This is happening because I have revamped matthewpiers dot com. More of what I write and photograph will be going there, so check it out as well.
