A sign of progress

Seen in front of the James Joyce on Bloor tonight: a woman smoking on the sidewalk, just as if she was taking a smoke break in front of the office fire escape.

'Victim of progress?' I asked.

'Fuckin' bylaw,' she replied.

When I came back a few minutes later, there were five.

If I was a bar owner, I'd wonder about how to stop people from walking out on their tabs, if there was a constant back-and-forth of patrons to the sidewalk.
