I am very excited about both of these things. This is despite whatJoe Clark has to say about the matter. But then again, why would I take anyone seriously when they throw about terms like "sodomized" when referencing the ROM Crystal expansion. I know nothing about the subject, but I would be willing to wager that Joe Clark just can't deal with change …

Neil on Transit in Toronto (neil-on-transit.blogspot.com):
… Joe Clark has reviewed the TTC's permanent signage at subway station. It includes a detailed account of Paul Arthur's redesign of St. George Station. The most damning critique is of the TTC's adoption of afake Helveticafont type that hinders the visually impaired from reading its signs under certain lighting conditions. From my experience, the use of signs varies considerably. On a recent outing, I found varying degrees of handmade signs. The first was a typed …

One Joe Clark went so far as to say the Crystal"sodomized" and "parasitized"the existing ROM architecture. So is the new ROM dramatic? Yes. Ambitious? Of course. Unique to Toronto?
