Bright lights; a city makes

Dundas Square: After

Something went wrong in Dundas Square. Its like someone decided that a light-induced sensory haemorrhage was the right thing to do. That this gawdy attempt at Times Square would automatically legitimise Toronto as the Canadian ''Global City''. I could spit out my great distaste for this square if I didnt think that a) it would just end up stuck on the pavement until the rain washes it off or it dries off. Where did the green go? Its a square dominated completely by grey. The only colours come from the retina searing neon lights emitted by the billboards.  b) its nasty even to spit on public property even when its garish public property surrounded by equally garish private buildings. Though its not illegal. Spitting and littering is illegal in Hong Kong as well as in other Asian countries. We are just too good to care about the city.
