A lesson in how to make a retailer's leftovers sound attractive. Question: were there any special, unprinted deals for regulars of the mission across the street (say, very special odd pants or suits to help somebody down on their luck climb back up the ladder of life)?

new concepts in parking department

During Thursday night's  Festival of Lights  in Kensington Market, the  Toronto Parking Authority  tested its latest innovation at the Bellevue lot: special spots to leave one's pants. If the results are successful, other spaces will be created around the core, which will come in helpful for those times where you can't be bothered to cart your pants around when you're not using them, or when carrying them becomes a distraction. Not to be outdone, the Toronto District School Board will be testing their new specialty parking spot over the holiday break at Central Tech: tires or toilets only.
