Toronto's old-fashioned — but effective — way to ease traffic jams has one serious flaw
I want to talk about an approach to Toronto's seemingly intractable traffic problems. But first, a detour down memory lane for some lessons learned on the way to Lollapalooza.
Years ago, a bunch of friends and I were on Highway 400 trying to get to Molson Park in Barrie for a concert festival. But just shy of the exit, traffic was at a complete standstill.

Miley Cyrus shades ex Liam Hemsworth with brutal move
Miley Cyrus couldn't help but shade her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, while signing autographs for fans. A fan who shares the same first name as the Hunger Games actor took to X on Wednesday to gush about the singer signing a vinyl copy of her new album, Something Beautiful. 'Miley writing 'the Best Liam' on my vinyl,' the fan wrote, sharing a photo of the vinyl as proof. Cyrus had written the message along the top left-hand corner of the vinyl in black cursive. The fan then posted a picture with the pop star at the singing, captioning it, 'me when I'm the best Liam.' Page Six has reached out to Hemsworth for comment but did not immediately hear back. After dating for over a decade, Hemsworth, 35, and Cyrus, 32, secretly tied the knot in December 2018. However, less than a year later, the Wrecking Ball singer shocked Hollywood and fans alike when she announced they were separating. The Killerman actor proceeded to file for divorce days later, citing 'irreconcilable differences' as the cause of the split. By January 2020, Hemsworth and Cyrus' divorce was finalised. While the former Disney star has remained mum about the demise of their relationship, she called their whirlwind marriage a 'f**king disaster' while performing at Lollapalooza in 2022. 'Honey, I hope your marriage goes better than mine,' Cyrus also told a couple who had gotten engaged during the music festival. 'Mine was a f**king disaster!' The Party in the U.S.A. singer is now dating Liily drummer Maxx Morando, while her ex-husband has been with model Gabriella Brooks since late 2019. The Australian couple made their red carpet debut at the premiere for the actor's movie Poker Face in November 2022.

‘Pavements': An ironic tribute to an iconic '90s band
Nonfiction filmmaking is in something of a rut, with funding drying up for nearly everything except true crime and celebrity biopics. Filmmaker Alex Ross Perry makes the most of this reality with 'Pavements,' his alternately self-conscious and disarmingly sly film about the band Pavement. If you know, you know: In the 1990s, the group fronted by California native Stephen Malkmus was a low-fi phenomenon, snatching snippets of everything from the Velvet Underground to Alex Chilton to create its own defiantly un-pandering scrounge act. Evolving in a decade from underground to indie to almost-breakthrough to college rock canonization, the band broke up in 1999, four years after a disastrous, mud-flinging performance at Lollapalooza. Although Pavement was never hugely commercial, it was disproportionately influential, its albums defining Gen X alienation like the chipped-vinyl equivalent of 'Reality Bites' on repeat.
