      On the move: Student Joe Costa, 18, bones up on a course during his 45-minute bus trip to and from Bloor Collegiate every school day from the Dufferin-Wilson area. The quality of education of Bloor makes the travelling worthwhilek, he says. I'd rather not go to a technical school.

      I just met a man who doesn't have a single complaint. Sik Kan Chung is 91. It took him 15 minutes to walk across the park to Woodgreen Community Centre from his place to meet me. Ten years ago it took him only 10 minutes. Another 10 years, maybe it will take half an hour, he said, laughing so hard his glasses slid down his nose. [Incomplete]
