If Stratford is looking for a patron saint, they could do worse than Justin Bieber. The city is already working the Bieber angle pretty hard (exhibit A: this map from the Stratford Tourism Alliance), and now the newly brunet pop star is helping to clean up and update a local skate park. When he was home for the holidays, Bieber autographed a red Hyundai Genesis Coupe at a local dealership, whose owner wanted to auction the car off for charity, and the Biebz (who is a bit of a skating enthusiast) was more than willing to lend a hand. The car will be up on eBay for 10 days beginning tomorrow, but we’re wondering who will buy it when the majority of Beliebers aren’t old enough to drive.
