Weapon makes Cameo appearance
A 22-year-old Toronto man is in jail pending a bail hearing Friday after being caught with a blank-firing pistol outside Cameo nightclub on University Ave. in Waterloo last Friday morning. Police were on the scene following a disturbance and found the man carrying a pistol.

Kitchener โ€˜unliked?โ€™
According to a source quoted in Mondayโ€™s Globe and Mail, rumours of Facebook opening an office in Kitchener may be just that. Over a month ago, some reports seemed to indicate that the massive social networking site planned to acquire office space in the renovated Breithaupt Block development across from UWโ€™s
Pharmacy School along King St. The source, said to be โ€˜close to the companyโ€™ denied that any such plan was in place. A former rubber manufacturing and auto parts plant, the century-old Breithaupt Block is being converted into office space similar to that at the Tannery development nearby.
