Here are a couple of photos taken at a job fair in China that took place earlier this year. It’s no place for the crowd-phobic, and you’d better bring a book (or five) to pass the time:

Coyote Ugly Saloon — the New York City bar that inspired the movie, which in turn inspired a number of franchise bars bearing the same name — is about to open a branch in Accordion City’s “Clubland” area.
The National Post reports that Don Rodbard, president of the King-Spadina Residents [...]
