I've seen a neon manhole off Queen St. near the front of the Eaton Centre. Don't know if that is the only one though.

Re: manhole: according to the photographer: "Found in front of Queen St. W near Old City Hall."

Yeah, I've stopped at that manhole a couple of times. Always catches your eye at night when you walk over it.

On the north side of Queen. Near Old City Hall.

Actually, I think some group SHOULD dress up as zombies. THat would be a cool protest, given the fences and all.

Well, it's a good thing they arrested the Weapons guy. Crossbow, 4 bats, chainsaws and fuel. Sounds like an attack on zombies.

be safe people, whatever you do this weekend. Keep up the great work blogto.
