4 h. ago Soul food spot set to take over space once held by beloved Toronto brunch staple

An Ontario soul food restaurant beloved for its next-level cornbread is finally opening a location in Toronto, and it's coming very soon.There was heartbreak the city over when Saving Grace, a Dundas West brunch staple that had been serving up the likes of French toast and eggs Benedict for 25 years, suddenly announced it would be closing down permanently in February of 2025.The restaurant's owner, Monica, said she was "overjoyed" to be closing the restaurant down, but that didn't do much to quell the sadness felt by scores of the restaurant's fans at the loss of a neighbourhood staple.Where could they look for a new local go-to? Moreover, what would take Saving Grace's place? Hopefully not another vape shop.At long last, the answers to both of those questions have finally been answered, and it's good news; it's mercifully not a vape shop, and it's not a new Tim Hortons location either.Instead, the new kid in town will be The Hive by Honey Soul Food, a new c...

Fauja Singh, the British-Indian athlete and marathoner, who inspired millions of people with his late-in-life running achievements, has died at the age of 114.Singh, who was widely believed to be the world's oldest marathon runner, was struck and killed in a hit-and-run accident on Monday while crossing a road in his native village near Jalandhar in Punjab, India. Local media reported that Singh sustained severe head injuries in the incident and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries. In 2011, Singh became the oldest man to run a full marathon at the age of 100 in Toronto, although this achievement was not officially recognized by Guinness World Records due to a lack of a birth certificate.
