In a time when convenience rules, the vending cart is king. Vicinity, cost, and quickness are all factors that have led to the control of the hot dog over other street food. However, Ryerson, MultiStory Complex, and Alphabet City are attempting to change that. Coordinated by Lorella Di Cintio ABD Ph.D., a Ryerson instructor in the School of Interior Design, these organizations have launched a national competition to redesign Toronto street food. The competition was designed to produce healthy, affordable and culturally-diverse foods that are available in a similar manner to the hot dog carts. Multistory Complex is a group working collaboratively to get the public involved in the planning and decision making involved in urban planning while exploring what the city needs as it grows.

There is currently a "bug" in Windows Media Player for OSX that forces Windows Media Player to default to the lowest bitrate stream (i.e., 56k) irrespective of your connection bandwidth. This issue will likely be fixed in the next Windows Media Update. We will be separating the streams after the webcast.
We do not recommend installation of the Flip4Mac plugin. Use Media Player instead.
