As the last few hours of August slip away, the signs of summer's end are upon us. Oooh, I've gone all Robert Frost. Alas, (so highbrow!) the first leaves are beginning to fall, the sun is setting that wee bit earlier... and of course Toronto FC is slipping out of the playoff picture. It's the circle of life! Of course in Toronto, summer's end is marked by the last days the Canadian National Exhibition. It is the annual fair where foods that should never meet are married in unholy unions, where filthy carnies try to hook-up with your little sister, where every ride could be your last and where mullets roam wild across the landscape - free from urban ridicule. This year's "Ex" packed in all of that "fun" but also included some very special attractions courtesy of Exhibition Place tenants Toronto FC...

ReplyDeleteLet's hope Tom Anselmi knows how to play Whack-a-Mo. Whack-a-Preki would be good too.
