Toronto has seen its fair share of music stars roll through Pearson Airport over the decades, but no one has made an entrance quite like rock and roll legend Jimi Hendrix.Landing at Toronto International Airport (now Pearson) ahead of a sold-out 1969 show at Maple Leaf Gardens, Hendrix was stopped by customs for a suspicious substance found in his luggage.What followed was a surreal mix of courtroom drama, fan frenzy, and, despite the arrest, an unforgettable show from the legendary guitar god.The lead-upDetailed in the book Hendrix: Setting the Record Straight by John McDermott, it was on May 3, 1969, when Jimi Hendrix and the Experience came to Toronto from Detroit — where whispers of a drug bust surrounded them.Brushing off the suggestion of drug possession, the "Purple Haze" artist was pulled aside by security who suspected him of having "illicit substances" in his bag.After creating a mobile test lab, it was found that the substances in ...

I only bring it up because Garth and Rebecca Bigelow, who own Muskoka-based vacation rental venture Unique Stays, have found a similar sense of peace in the whole 'wellness' thing, a...
