So King...so desirable!

...except it's not in King!

This billboard for the King's Gate subdivision, which describes itself as being "so King", is located on the east side of Bathurst Street, just north of the Temperanceville.   But the sign and the new homes are located in Richmond Hill - not King Township.   Details...details...pesky details.

Crow loves tax guy's peanuts

Photos by Barry Wallace

Don McKnight, accountant and proprietor of Personal Tax Services in King City, takes his responsibilities seriously.   One of the duties he performs diligently is feeding peanuts to a crow that awaits him each work-day-morning, on the hand-rail outside Don's front door.   The crow has been getting the hand-outs for a few years but Don hasn't given his crow-buddy a name yet.   Sometimes a second crow lingers nearby (a mate, perhaps?) but Don can't tell them apart.

Don does not think of this crow as being tame.   It is wild but there is a symbiotic relationship that Don certainly enjoys and the crow eagerly and faithfully anticipates each day.   It's sometimes hard to describe the value of a relationship like this, but as for the cost...it's peanuts...and a little goodwill.

And what the crow leaves behind, opportunistic blue jays quickly take.

Meanwhile, on a totally unrelated matter, Don McKnight has just been named as a 2012 inductee into the Newmarket Sports Hall of Fame, for his over-60-years involvement as a player, coach, umpire, association executive and builder of the sport, at both  a local and provincial level.   Well done, Don.

King City Skate Park update

Photos by Barry Wallace

Two future and eager skateboarders chat-up a construction worker at the site of the new municipal King City Skate Park and multi-use pad, beside the King City Arena.   Pictured below are two views of a very sculptural ramp that will apparently be skateable on both sides! 

This view (above), looking north from the baseball field, shows the multi-use outdoor-facility pad in the foreground and the skate park in the background.   The multi-use pad will be an outdoor skating and hockey rink in the winter.   Uses in other seasons are yet to be announced.

Completion of the new King Township recreational facility, on Doctors Lane in King City, is scheduled for sometime in mid-October.
