6 h. ago Toronto Blue Jays might land in a new MLB division and here's what it could look like

For any fan who's followed the Toronto Blue Jays for a long time, they know just how daunting the American League East can be.The Blue Jays have won the division just six times since 1977, including when it was a seven-team division from 1977 to 1993. The five-team group has remained unchanged since 1998, when the Tampa Bay Devil Rays (now just Rays) joined the league as an expansion team.Since the current division alignment went into effect, 13 AL East teams have made the World Series (New York Yankees seven times, Boston Red Sox four times, and Tampa Bay twice). That's 48 per cent of all possible World Series berths, with the other two American League Divisions making up the remaining 52 per cent.MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred was on an ESPN broadcast on Sunday Night Baseball this past weekend, and explored the possibility of expansion teams, which could also lead to a major reimagining of what the MLB's divisional structure could look like.MLB commissioner Rob...

22 h. ago L.L. Bean is about to open its first downtown Toronto store this month

L.L. Bean, the popular clothing and equipment retailer, is gearing up to debut its first downtown Toronto presence with a storefront that the company is calling its first location not just in the city centre, but in any "metropolitan downtown market" in the country.The brand, which has been around for a whopping 113 years, is mainly known for its basic but high-end outerwear and other apparel, along with accessories, camping gear and home goods — think the late Hudson's Bay meets Mountain Equipment Company (MEC), but American.Although it hails from Maine, L.L. Bean has been successful enough within Canada to gradually expand its offerings north of the border, with local outposts including Oakville — its first in Canada, launched in 2019 — Niagara Falls, Kingston and Barrie, Ontario.The retailer also has a new-ish Toronto store outside the city centre in CF Shops at Don Mills as of 2020, which...

24 h. ago Landmark Toronto tattoo shop that's been a staple for 20 years is permanently closing

Even if you're not a fan of body art, if you've ever been to Toronto, you'll likely recognize the black-and-yellow signage of Adrenaline, the tattoo and piercing shop that's graced the busiest stretch of the city's Queen West for well over 15 years.Though the brand was originally founded in New Jersey all the way back in 1998, it ended up evolving into a Canadian business, with studios in Vancouver, Montreal, and its youngest, in Toronto, opened in the mid 2000s — yes, before the newest now legal-age drinkers were alive, for perspective.It's remained a stalwart of the strip even as nearby staples like the Condom Shack, Zara, H&M, Adidas and others have fallen by the wayside over the years, and has perennially been known as a prime stop for walk-in piercings and ink, sometimes performed right behind the space's large street-facing windows for onlookers to gawk at.But, its once-secure tenure has co...
