Is Hollywood North moving west? Spring was just around the com er on Monday literally. If you were walking on Thomas or George Streets enjoying the lampposts decorated with Christm as wreaths, then turned onto Lakeshore Road, you banged right into spring. Baskets of spring flowers hung from the lamp posts and a large sign on the side of the bank announced a Spring Festival. Those strolling downtown on M onday also crossed the Canada/U.S. border in one short stride, as star-andstripes flags flapped in the wind alongside the flower baskets. If you thought you were losing it, you can relax. B.E.I. Productions Inc. was filming its television movie, Moms on Strike.
