I was wandering around the streets and laneways of the Little Italy neighbourhood when I happened upon this lane named after Morley Safer. Safer was a long time journalist and was best known for his 46 years on the American TV show 60 Minutes. It turns out that he grew up on Manning Ave, which is where the lane is entered from, and went to the nearby schools including Harbord Collegiate.
