Original Toronto Star caption: A Skateboard becomes a genuine form of transportation when the subway stops running. So says Jason Cooper; a 10-year-old student at Jesse Ketchum Public School on Davenport Rd.; anyway. Jason zipped home for lunch yesterday on his skateboard; zooming past the pedestrians who clogged the Bay-Bloor intersection.
