Thriller in the intersection

 

Zombies take over one of Canada's busiest intersections to perform Michael Jackson's dance senseation "Thriller".

It was hilarious, we look down from high upon Jack Astor's patio overlooking Dundas Street and we see people dancing in the middle of the scramble intersection. The moves were unmistakeable - even from afar, they were doing Thriller.

The famous intersection has become a pedestrian free-for-all where every second pedestrian crossing turns the pavement into a churning mass of humanity. Now the undead fill the roadway with thoughts of brains temporarily drowned out by the internal song - thriller, it's just a thriller... The road has become a dance stage.

Protest in scramble intersection

There was quite a crowd taking to the intersection of Yonge and Dundas to protest the plans for increasing the use of nuclear energy in Ontario. The protest was billed as the "world's first social cause event organized IN a public pedestrian scramble intersection."




It was like watching the tides. The all-way pedestrian signal led the protesters onto the street, then as the hand signalled the end of the pedestrian crossing the protesters faded back onto the sidewalks. You can go to their website NoNuclearNow.blogspot.com to learn more of their concerns.
