Spadina Streetcar getting replaced by bus until November

Boo! Apparently the TTC is doing some repairs to the line and we are going back to the 80s with at-the-curb bus service.

The streetcar stops running on Monday, June 17th and starts up again on November 18th! :(

Here's the announcement.

So if you're at any hub along the line (i.e. #SpadinaBloor, #SpadinaQueen, etc.) you will have to learn to enjoy the curb-side service :)

We guess it won't be so bad. It looked like they had a lot of fun riding the bus in the 80s:

Highlights from the Annex Festival on Bloor!

The 16th annual Annex Festival on Bloor took place this past Sunday, June 10, 2012! It's a great community event that spans from #BathurstBloor to #SpadinaBloor. The festival brings out vendors in the area, performances and food and drink, of course! Bloor Street was closed off for the occasion.

Here are some highlights:

Aerial view!
It was a scorcher!

The Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre was a host of the festival!

She was good at juggling!

You don't wanna mess with these kids!

The Annex Chess Club was out promoting chess in a BIG way!

Hey tourists, use TransitHub!

Lotsa people out!

Olivia Chow tent, promoting a National Transit Strategy!

Pipes and drums band

FOOD, everywhere!

Those kicks are serious!


Every festival needs a good pyro!

And, check out this 10-second clip of a cool flute performance!






So #TransitHubbers, did you get out to see the Annex Festival on Bloor? What other festivals are you going to check out this summer? Share!
