TTC advertisement in "Toronto's 100 Years" found in @1rg.space's library. "Public transportation has been the greatest single factor in promoting the progress of Toronto during its first one hundred years and will continue to be indispensable in the promotion of the city's future progress."

Advert for the TTC found in Toronto's 100 years by Middleton, J. E.

Public Transportation (1849-1934)

Fifteen years after Toronto's incorporation as a city, an enterprising cabinet maker built four six-passenger omnibuses and inaugurated Toronto's first public transportation
service over a route extending from St. Lawrence Market, via King and Yonge Streets, to Yorkville, near Bloor Street. Under the stimulus of this first public transportation service, the inhabited area of the city extended and developed so rapidly that only one year later the service had to be more than doubled by the addition of four ten-passenger omnibuses.
The experience of those early years has been repeated over and over again during the hundred years of Toronto's expansion and development. As additional and improved public transportation facilities have been inaugurated from time to time to provide more and better service over an extended area, the city has been enriched by increased population, additional commerce and industry, and an assessment roll to support the necessary civic improvements and public services of a progressive city.
Public transportation has been the greatest single factor in promoting the progress of Toronto during its first one hundred years and will continue to be indispensable in the promotion of the city's future progress.

📚 Just re-read Land of Mirrors by Maria Medem, such a stunning and dreamlike graphic novel.

Six-panel comic in a surreal, colorful landscape. A purple figure stands still beside a rock and two red berries as the sun sets. Their shadow stretches long across the ground. Text in the fourth panel says, ‘Today I have the same problem as yesterday.’ In the final panel, the figure is gone. Text reads, ‘It seems it won’t be solved anytime soon!’

I recently got a new lens for my DSLR, and it’s made from a recycled disposable camera lens. I’m totally obsessed with the unique look it gives my photos!

Some good advice to gardeners.

Paper sign with black text reading: Don't spring into garden clean up too soon. Please wait until temperatures are consistently above 10c (50f). Many butterflies, bees, and other pollinators are currently wintering in dead leaves and hollowed out stems from last year's plants.
