Ed (who I know very well) reports on the possible closing of Warshaw’s, around the corner from my place, citing Maggie, who I also know, and M-J (who wrote the story for Hour), who I know even better. I’m sure a lot of people are crying about this possibility, but although I appreciate the benefits of truly local businesses, Warshaw’s is/was expensive, has/had terrible produce and a worse selection than most places in the area, and is absolutely filthy from top to bottom. Good solid local businesses are important in an era such as this: Warshaw’s just isn’t one of them.

And the other Ed has been doing some truly inspired weblogging. “OK, maybe I’ve spent too much time with my face in someone else’s crotch, but I don’t find this offensive.” Yow. The picture is definitely worth a few thousand words.

to the May 29th entry over at Ed’s site, Blork Blog to read a very typical story about life here in Montreal. Even odder, Ed and I are very good friends now but in fact we first “met” online. We were both “founding” hosts at Cafe Utne. When he introduced himself in the private Hosts forum, I replied by saying, “I bet you $10 we have friends in common!” And of course we did, and our circles finally overlapped a couple of weeks later. But the overlap in the story on his site - that’s much deeper, and international to boot. Cool.
