Seen, heard, thought...(G20 edition)

Seen: A very empty St. Lawrence Market. The North Market was particularly sad with less than half the vendors present.

Heard: "I'm disgusted with what Canada has become" (Man on his cell phone in the North Market).

Thought: I should buy myself some Koslik's mustard and Guyere cheese and call it a day.

Seen: Cops taking pictures of each other standing beside the fences.

Thought: Couches are expensive!!!

Seen: BINGO!

Seen: Special G20 license plates on cars.

Thought: What happened to the 90min waiting time to get onto the Gardiner from Spadina Ave. that they were talking about? This weekend would actually be a GREAT time to drive downtown. Same with the TTC.

Seen: Police riding around on ATVs.

Thought: It's a ghost town.

Seen: A black hovercrafty-thingy with passengers all in black and looking mighty intimidating zooming by the harbourfront.

Seen: Explosive Removal Unit and Contamination Unit trucks driving away from the security zone. Hope everything's okay! (Maybe they're done for the day now that Obama's in the building)

Thought: Crappy weather would make protest watching no fun?
