The Delta Chelsea, Miles From Ordinary (or the Truth)!
5 JanFrom the Torontoist…
Yonge and Dundas: bright lights, shopping, entertainment, a scramble intersection, and the towering presence of the Delta Chelsea Downtown Toronto—or at least that’s the impression that Delta wants to convey through an apparently manipulated image that it’s given to numerous travel websites and used in an advertisement in this year’s issue of Harvest Ontario (above). In reality, as the photo after the break demonstrates, the hotel, at 33 Gerrard Street West, does not have such a fortuitous view of Yonge-Dundas Square.
“YOUR CASH IS THE ONLY THING”

From the Torontoist…
A few months ago, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment—MLSE—illegally spray-painted the Toronto Maple Leafs logo along with the phrase “Spirit is Everything” on sidewalks around the city. Not to be outdone, The Zan Tabak Herald, a Toronto Raptors blog, responded with its own snarky tag that said “We Prefer Winning.” (Which might have made more sense if the Raptors were, you know, actually winning.)
Now, it looks like the Leafs’ advertisement has been tagged again, and for at least one anonymous Torontonian at Dundas and University, “spirit” just isn’t cutting it anymore for a near-last place team that’s run by an organization that only seems to care about its bottom line.
