Ever since someone in my family was shot on the street in Parkdale, I’ve developed a weird fascination with this page. It’s a list of all the crimes that happen (and are reported to police) in Toronto and it’s updated regularly. In the Internet age, I think most big cities have similiar web postings.
Visiting the page has become routine for me, since it’s how I originally kept updated on the search for and arrest of the shooter. But now it’s like a drug, a crime writer’s obsession.
