[muglo] Re: meeting on for Thursday

It's the No. 15 bus, Paul -- the Westmount route. Runs from Dundas and
Richmond all the way out past Wonderland and Southdale roads. Stops
virtually in front of the Landon library door. I'll be going by bus
myself.
By the way, you can find any bus route in the city -- and any address,
park, school, firehall or whatever -- on the interactive London map at
http://tinyurl.com/2u59em.
Hope you can make it.
