Two twenty-somethings are talking about the great technological divides between generations and broke it down thusly:

"There's the boomers, the mom generation, and us -- the MySpace generation."

While riding the Scarborough Rapid Transit line to work this afternoon, a teenaged girl made this observation at Midland station:

This area isn't very pretty. Where are we?

First hint: You're on the Scarborough Rapid Transit line. The next stop is the Scarborough Town Centre.

As an aside, there was this tidbit in Wednesday's Globe and Mail:

When bad things happen east of Victoria Park Avenue, the news media should agree not to mention the "S" word -- as in Scarborough.

That's the view of two Toronto city councillors, who want council to ask the news media to name only the street or nearby intersection when crime occurs in Scarborough.

"The feeling is that this image we have is either the product of, or reinforced by, the way the media report crime," said Councillor Norm Kelly (Ward 40, Scarborough-Agincourt).

"If there is a shooting at Jane and Finch, it is at Jane and Finch," he said. "If there is shooting at Neilson and Finch, it is in Scarborough."

On Monday, Mr. Kelly and fellow Scarborough councillor Michael Thompson (Ward 37, Scarborough Centre) will make their pitch for media self-censorship to council's executive committee -- the mayor's so-called cabinet, which includes Mr. Kelly.
