City to to pay rent for Sun Youth

The city has pledged to pay the rent for Sun Youth now that it’s been dislodged from its longtime digs at the old Baron Byng high school. Item, annoyingly, autoplays video, which seems to be a new policy on the Gazette site.

Shoe dropped after I reread the lede: “Their new location will be 6700 Parc Ave., just 600 metres away from their current St-Urbain St. headquarters.” In fact, that address is north of the tracks and, going by Google maps, more than 3 km from Baron Byng.

I miss the days when journalists (and editors) actually lived in the city and knew it well, instead of rewriting press releases in the suburbs.
