The view at Union Station

Union Station. (Naomi Ikonomou)
By Naomi Ikonomou, G20 citizen blogger
The fence in front of Union Station is now up, but open to let people through in some places. The hot dog stands are gone. Also, the taxi stand is moved back and there's only one lane open for drivers. Foot traffic in the station seems like that of a regular Friday. Since most of our customers commute by GO train or bus, it would be nice if our business is the same next week, but most of them are talking about not coming in to work to avoid the hassles. We'll see.
