097 - Normal'ish Vol. 2 🆕
Nothing’s normal these days...except London’s collective ability to put a new spin on old things. Last week’s list struck a chord with many, so we’ve decided to do it again; sharing more examples of the small, simple ways we’ve been creative and rolled with it.
🥋 You kicked it 🥋
Gerrard Street's annual block party spread itself out a bit and added a COVID-themed obstacle course to the mix this year. Full story here.
🎈 You drove thru 🎈
🚴 You delivered 🚴
The London Food Bank and RBC Place have teamed up to provide bagged lunches to some of the city's most vulnerable. This week, they got a hand delivering from London's cycling community. Read more.
🖍️ You remixed 🖍️

👋 You bid farewell 👋
We could easily dedicate a few lists to the creative projects that came outta this space over the past 15 years. If Dundas & Richmond is the heart of the city, this studio kept it beating. Kudos to all the artists, dreamers, builders, makers, musicians and localists who were involved over the years, and to Jesse Gibb for giving the space such a good run.
🥕 You kept punning 🥕
🤗 You kept adopting 🤗
