Patio season? Never heard of her! This summer in Toronto, it’s all about sipping drinks and eating delicious food right on the deck of a gorgeous cruise ship.I have to admit, I never really considered myself to be a cruise person. But after being invited to join City Cruises’ Summer Kick Off Cruise — which celebrated their first dinner cruise of the season — I’m getting myself a pair of boat shoes and will be setting sail more frequently!A sailor's welcomeI started the night by boarding the ship and being greeted by the entire crew. Arriving a bit early for boarding, I waited for the rest of my group by sipping a cocktail on the boat's open-air deck on the top floor — one of three levels on my vessel, the Toronto Odyssey.A Blue Hawaiian is as crisp and refreshing as the waters.The furniture was comfy and offered some cute photo ops with a large decorative lifebuoy.

25 h. ago Toronto Blue Jays star Bo Bichette is engaged and here's what we know

Bo Bichette has locked in a lifelong contract — it's just not with the Toronto Blue Jays.The Toronto Star's Rosie DiManno revealed in an article on Monday that Bichette got engaged to his girlfriend, Alexis, in May, with a wedding planned for next January.While Bichette, 27, is known for his flashy on-field play, it doesn't always seem to translate to his off-field personality, as he's generally quite soft-spoken in interviews.There's little that's known about the couple otherwise, as Bichette is not currently active on social media.But perhaps the engagement might explain one Bichette decision over the past year, as he opted to chop his signature long hair last December for the first time since becoming an MLB player. While we can't confirm his motivations, Bichette might've just been doing a soft launch of his new style for those eventual wedding photos next year.How has Bichette been doing for the Blue Jays?Bichette leads the Blue Jays with 1...

3 d. ago That time Marilyn Monroe came to Ontario to film in Niagara Falls

For a brief period in June 1952, Niagara Falls wasn't just the setting for honeymoons and trips. For two weeks, the area became the backdrop for the noir thriller film appropriately titled Niagara, starring Hollywood bombshell Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Cotten. Over two weeks, locals watched as film crews transformed the area's streets into movie sets, and Monroe, who was already gaining attention in Hollywood, became just as much of an attraction as the falls themselves. Filming officially began on June 2, and Monroe arrived shortly after, on the morning of Thursday, June 5. The actress stayed in town until June 18, and during that time, scenes were shot across the city, from the old post office and city hall, to the hospital and down in Chippawa. Marilyn Monroe during the filming of Niagara.
