Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car. In fact, it was 4%. And the % for those who walked or cycled? 72%. Retailers routinely overestimate the # of “car customers.” Via @carltonreid forbes.com/sites/carltonreid…

Keanu Reeves reporting on teddy bears in Toronto in 1984. The young actor has recently disclosed that he came very close to taking on the stage name, Chuck Spadina, soon after this. A nod to his hometown of Toronto.
