Even on a slow night cars constantly turn into the little stub of Cambridge between Somerset and the rusty chain, stop and park or just leave it idling while they run in for their takeout Chinese from Ben Ben / Yangtze / Chu Shing, turn around and lurch off like dinosaurs out of a tar pit.

This was a time exposure, probably about 10 seconds. Those ghostly figures out in front of Nancy Hair Salon are some of the wedding party, and I think you can just see Randy the beggar hard at work at his self-appointed task as the doorman at Chu Shing.

Here’s another one of the wedding party, little flower girl in a pretty dress, Trinh Luu Law Office and the cars streaking by … life in the city.

Playoff update

The Ottawa Senators failed to show up for Game 1 of the NHL playoffs against Pittsburgh today. Reports say disgruntled goalie Ray Emery hijacked the team bus and drove it to Rochester.
