A Journal of Anecdotes
In lieu of a blog posts this page includes a selection of news articles about the Corktown neighbourhood. Although the subject may recount a story in my book, the narrative content is not duplicated and, in some instances, may not be as comprehensive a report as one would have in a book form. Instead, each is a Toronto news story meant to provide insight and knowledge while also illustrating my involvement in the community. Hopefully it will motivate you, the reader, to buy my book.
