40 h. ago Ontario once had very bizarre McDonald's locations but they're gone forever

Although most McDonald's locations in Ontario look nearly identical today — with their grey exteriors and red columns topped with the chain's famous golden arches — some outlets had their own distinct quirky character throughout the 1970s and 1990s. As franchise owners worked to set their locations apart from others, many experienced unusual features that have since disappeared, including attached train cabooses to host birthday parties, and even one with a gas station built beneath it. For those who grew up in Ontario during the late 20th century, the sight of a bright red caboose beside your local McDonald's was a staple of childhood. Franchise owners across the province, from Chatham to Stratford, Barrie to Owen Sound, and Orangeville to Mississauga, converted former railway cars into dining rooms and play areas, and birthday party rooms. A McDonald's caboose restaurant in Chatham, Ont., in 1985.

Toronto is gearing up for a huge celebration as Diwali - Festival of Lights returns to the city, complete with ethnic bites, a diverse lineup of vendors and artists, and, of course, an enormous fireworks display. This year, attendees can expect over 1,000 artists — both local and international — to grace the stage with live dance shows and musical performances. Although the international appearances are still under wraps, last year the festival featured Mumbai Troupers and Bollywood actor Omi Vaidya. So, if these appearances are anything to go by, then this year's special guests should be something to look forward to.Of course, a Diwali event also means an abundance of South Asian food.

Don't expect the New York Yankees to be underestimating the Toronto Blue Jays ahead of their first-ever postseason meeting.Sure, the Blue Jays might've come into the year with muted expectations, while the Yankees were fresh off a World Series appearance.But 162 regular season games (and one Wild Card series for the Yankees) later, and it's New York who's heading into Toronto without home field advantage for the American League Division Series starting on Saturday.And the Yankees' biggest star, two-time AL MVP Aaron Judge, had kind things to say about the Blue Jays after his Yankees knocked off the Boston Red Sox in a winner-take-all Wild Card Game 3 on Thursday night."They're a complete team. They don't strike out a lot. So they're gonna put the ball in play. They're gonna force your hand on defence. We're looking forward to that. Toronto is going to be rocking. We love that," Judge said following the game, per Sportsnet's David...
