When I went downtown to do the pool yesterday at the Palace, I was shocked. I mean I don't go down town for meetings or anything anymore. But it was so different then it was when i worked downtown.

At 5:00 there wasn't a rush of humanity heading for the trains of the bars, the mall itself was dead. When I went to park at the Bay Parkade at about 15 to 4, I could have gotten parking on the first level.

The mall itself looked grubby and dirty, and there were lots of seedy looking characters hanging around.

I had a lady try to sell me her wedding ring for a ticket to Czechoslovakia. When I left the palace at about 9:30, the streets were dead except for the people just hanging around. Saw one good fist fight between a dude and a girl. but it was so grim
