What Is It? - The Augusta Chronicle

Like the Ford, Chevy’s pickup carried a Spanish name, and that led to our hint last week: “With this vehicle, you’re always in the road. ” The term el camino means “the road (or path or way)” and so we were telling you that the driver would be in El Camino. Whereas the first El Camino was based on the big Chevrolet – which was about all they had – later versions drew on the Chevelle midsize line, as was the near-identical GMC Sprint (later changed to Caballero, another Spanish term). If you guessed any of those models and circa 1970, we tossed your name into the hat with other correct guesses. Chosen randomly from the correct entries was Glenn Widner, of Keysville, Ga. , who told us:. “It looks like a 1970 Chevrolet El Camino or GMC Sprint. AUGUSTA: Rick Farris wrote: “This is a 1970 El Camino. Chevy built these from 1959-60 and 1964-87, and initially built on a full-size Chevy platform, designed to compete with Ford’s Ranchero. The later models were on the new-for-1964 Chevelle platform. “By the way, el camino is Spanish for ‘the path,’ although I’m not really sure why Chevy chose that. Source: chronicle.augusta.com

Toronto Bike Share network to double in size - blogTO (blog)

The Toronto bike share network is set to double in size, as Metrolinx and the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) announced a new partnership and expansion plan this morning. The transit agency will purchase $4. 9 million worth of bikes and docking stations, with plans to deploy the expanded fleet by December 2016 (not exactly the most ideal month for a roll-out). While the bounds of the new network have yet to be disclosed, the focus will be on installing stations near to transit stations and in dense areas most likely to support high usage. The vast majority of the expansion will take place within Toronto, but a pilot project will also witness some docks installed in Hamilton. Bike share advocates in Toronto have long called for an expansion of the network , which is currently heavily focused on the city's downtown core. The value of the system should increase significantly with this expansion, with an eye towards attract more than the the current 4,000 active users of Bike Share Toronto. Seeing some stations pop up on some of the outer edges of downtown will be useful - Danforth, Beaches, South Etobicoke (and so on). Even being a member of Bike Share/Bixi - not being able to pick up, or drop off a bike close-ish to where I'm going... True, some of the users are complete novices, but I've used these bikes as a tourist in other cities and. Source: www.blogto.com
