Lonely Planet review

Inside the historic industrial gothic Wellesley Building (1913), the progressive Citytv network films its foibles and broadcasts outtakes from their infamous Speakers Corner on the John St corner. Here, anyone can step inside the public video booth, drop a loonie (around C$1 ) in the slot, wait for the five-second countdown then record themselves saying or doing pretty much anything for two minutes.

At the adjacent studios of MuchMusic (www.muchmusic.com), the Canadian version of MTV, pop stars dash inside from their limos as teen fans cheer à la Beatlemania. Above the east parking lot, a CityPulse news truck spins its wheels as it explodes out of the Citytv studio walls.
