7 h. ago Toronto ice cream shop is closing down after less than a year

A Toronto ice cream shop that took over for one of the city's best is closing permanently after less than a year in business.It was a loss for the ages, back in late October of 2024, when Moss Park's Creamery X announced it would be closing down for good.The ice cream shop, located at the, shall we say, colourful intersection of Queen and Jarvis, gained a major reputation during its short-and-sweet four-year run thanks to its next-level flavours, which included a selection of vegan and gluten-free ice creams.The shop officially closed at the end of October last year and was instantaneously replaced by a new, but deeply similar venture, Pink Elephant Creamery. There's good reason for why, exactly, the two ice cream shops were so similar.Upon the transfer of ownership from Creamery X to Pink Elephant, all of Creamery X's award-winning recipes were transferred to Urvin. It was a great deal for Creamery X's enthusiastic local fanbase, who would still be abl...

10 h. ago Dejected Yankees broadcasters left in stunned silence by Vladdy Jr.'s huge grand slam

The New York Yankees and their collective fan base may be having nightmares of Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.The Blue Jays have gotten off to as good a start in the ALDS as one could have hoped, as they hold a 2-0 series lead over the Yankees and have outscored them 23-8. Guerrero has played a huge role in that, smacking two long balls to go with a staggering .667 and six RBI.While Guerrero was outstanding in Game 1, it was his grand slam in Game 2 that really put a stamp on this series so far. The 26-year-old stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded in the bottom of the fourth inning and hit a moon shot for the first-ever grand slam in Blue Jays postseason history.VLADIMIR GUERRERO JR.
