Former mayor Mel Lastman rode the rocket yesterday sitting across from me. A few people did double takes as they walked by him on the platform and whispered and pointed him out to their friends. A couple people actually said hi and waved which brought a smile to Mel’s face. He seemed pretty exhausted and tired, not the energetic Bad Boy pitchman you see above. I’d seen him around before as he lives in my neighbourhood and was eating at the local Shopsy’s diner.
