14 h. ago All these TTC subway stations were once the 'end of the line'

A trip along either of Toronto's two subway lines in the present day is plenty of time to catch up on work, consume an entire podcast, or maybe just sit and disassociate between the omnipresent obligations of everyday life. But this wasn't always the case, and, for previous generations, that "end of the line" announcement used to come a whole lot faster.Let's look back at some of the TTC subway stations that were once the last stops on their routes.Line 1 Yonge–University1954: Eglinton, Union Toronto's — and Canada's — first subway line opened Mar. 30, 1954, with an initial 7.4-kilometre route connecting Union Station in the south with Eglinton Station in the north. It was shiny and new, but it had a long way to go.1963: Eglinton, St. GeorgeThe Yonge Line became the Yonge-University Line in 1963 when the route was extended north from the original southern terminus of Union up to a new terminal station at St. George via Univer...

4 w. ago The history of the Golden Griddle restaurant chain in Ontario

Decades before Ontario's brunch scene was overrun with trendy lattes and Instagram-worthy plates, there was the Golden Griddle, a no-frills, all-Canadian family restaurant that was synonymous with family gatherings, after-club eats, and well-earned breakfasts after all-nighters and final exams. The chain, which eventually went on to open dozens of locations across the GTA, southwestern, central, and eastern Ontario, had its humble beginnings at a 60-seat restaurant at the corner of Redpath and Eglinton Avenues.The brunch chain was founded by entrepreneur Harold McDonnell on May 2, 1964, and quickly grew to become one of Canada's most popular chains of family restaurants. Its home-style meals were served all day and became a go-to for everything from chocolate chip pancakes to omelettes, Belgian waffles to schnitzels, and burgers to dinner entrees. The chain began franchising in 1977, with many opting to stay open 24 hours a day. While the G...
