I'm a big fan of the Sheppard Subway Line

Only because it literally takes me right to my front door (give or take a few meters). I honestly believe it was the single best investment the city made for me!

But who do you think made sure the construction workers worked late at night under Sheppard Ave? Who do you think made sure that the cranes were where they were suppose to be? Who do you think made sure the construction signs made sense. Who do you think had to deal with years of bad traffic on Sheppard Ave.? ME, my friend. I put up with it all through my adolescent! I saw the Sheppard Subway Line built right before my eyes.

But deep down inside, I know the Sheppard line was a waste of money. That’s old news and so is Steve Munro’s article on how much the Sheppard line sucks. But it’s interesting none the less. I shall call the Sheppard line my $4-a-ride-line from now on. And I’ll try my hardest not to use it that often, but I don’t have much of a choice living uptown and all.

Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
