Why I Missed Walmart Nation

Last night Pavlina and I were all set to head to Riverdale Collegiate on the streetcar in time for the 7pm screening of Walmart Nation, only to have our streetcar diverted at Gerrard and Broadview by a police barricade. We arrived on the scene around 6:30 - thank goodness we weren't there earlier. The police had closed Gerrard and wouldn't let people through. Normally we would have walked north and continued east on some side streets but good thing we didn't because one of the gunmen disappeared on foot north of Gerrard. If it was my movie screening, I would have been more determined to see it, but by this time, we were only motivated to go home. The northbound streetcar appeared on Broadview and we grabbed it.
