Regular Shark Guy readers take note. We will return to non-municipal dumping related posts on Friday (unless of course, you want us to switch formats like a failing new country station and stick with this exclusively).
We will periodically update the trash situation with new developments and pictures, provided it’s not raining and we can’t find anything better to do (a likely outcome, as we have a few candidates for better things to do right now and welcome suggestions).
As you can see, Christie Pits Park is piling up fast. Compare the photo here, with one taken 3 days ago in which hypothetically, a game of ball hockey could’ve been played at one-end of the rink provided smelling salts were on hand to revive the players.
The latest is that apparently more parks are being considered for possible landfill sites. These include Dufferin Grove and Trinity Bellwoods, the former, the site of a weekly Farmer’s Market which will soon offer a grocery shopping experience that is as close as humanly possible to dumpster diving.
Apologies for the photo (left). I was risking life and at least one limb on my own bike when I took the shot and this rank Lance Armstrong was going pretty fast despite hauling a gray garbage bin.
Christie Pits area residents have been protesting by dumping fake trash at city hall. They really should really up the ante with the real thing.
Here’s the CITY TV action news team on hand to cover the event (it should be noted, at a considerable, more nostril and gag-reflex-friendly distance away from the picture above) as cars are lining up with trunks filled with trash.
Stay tuned as we bring you, Gifts for the Patriot who Has Everything as we raise a glass to our neighbors stateside for their 4th of July. Back soon.
