WALKING TOUR: Looking for a new spin on the merits of Yonge Street's "gaudy" appeal? Perhaps a reasoned argument detailing the connections between the work of Toronto-born architect Frank Gehry and singer/pop-phenom Christina Aguilera? Then "Chicken Fat Perambulation #2" might be your type of historical walking tour. Hosted by Adam Sobolak (author of Pioneers Of Modern Design: From Britney Spears to Christina Aguilera and executive member of the Toronto Architectural Conservancy), this walkabout is billed as "metatouristic linear street theatre" and will be more of an "'arts performance' in the guise of a guided walk." The walk will start at the northwest corner of Yonge and Front streets and proceed north every two hours until they hit Steeles Avenue (definitely not for the couch-potato set). Northwest corner of Yonge and Front streets, 4–6 p.m., pay-what-you-can ($5 or $10 suggested).
