Bikers go suburban

Other residents said police have watched the house at night. The Hells Angels still have a fortified clubhouse, with a newly bricked-in front porch, on Swinyard Street in east London. According to city records, the Oakridge house is owned by a numbered Ontario company. Assessed last year at $229,000, the house is on 1. Next door is the Glad Tidings Assembly church. Pastor Rick Boyes said he’s had no problems with his new neighbours…
A potential buyer of the church also wants to buy the house and put in a self-storage complex, said a city planner. “We have told the applicant we believe the introduction of (a) commercial use is not what we want to see,” said planner Ethan Ling. But some residents would rather see a storage complex, rather than more condos and a biker clubhouse, in the area. They’re already battling a proposed five-story office building at the southwest corner of Riverside and Wonderland. “At least the storage units would bring less traffic,” said Paul James, a resident.

Online music is Apple’s territory. It is still unknown when the massively popular iTunes Music Store service will be launched in India, but going by the response worldwide, the chances of it not working here are quite slim. Traditional telecom companies have received quite a jolt by Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services such as Skype. Talk is now moving on to what Web 3. 0 might throw up, but who knows parts of it might already be doing its rounds. ANAND SANKAR Printer friendly.
