49 h. ago Ontario once had very bizarre McDonald's locations but they're gone forever

Although most McDonald's locations in Ontario look nearly identical today — with their grey exteriors and red columns topped with the chain's famous golden arches — some outlets had their own distinct quirky character throughout the 1970s and 1990s. As franchise owners worked to set their locations apart from others, many experienced unusual features that have since disappeared, including attached train cabooses to host birthday parties, and even one with a gas station built beneath it. For those who grew up in Ontario during the late 20th century, the sight of a bright red caboose beside your local McDonald's was a staple of childhood. Franchise owners across the province, from Chatham to Stratford, Barrie to Owen Sound, and Orangeville to Mississauga, converted former railway cars into dining rooms and play areas, and birthday party rooms. A McDonald's caboose restaurant in Chatham, Ont., in 1985.

57 h. ago Toronto bar that closed after 20 years being replaced by retro

A Toronto bar in a historic building is getting a new lease on life as it transforms into a new concept this October.The Gladstone House's Melody Bar had been a pillar of West Queen West, taking on various appearances and lives over the years, for over two decades, when it suddenly and quietly closed its doors at the end of 2022.Since then, the space at the historic property has sat dormant, collecting dust while the neighbourhood's frequenters grew impatient waiting to learn whether Melody Bar would rise from the ashes, or whether it really was gone for good.Alas, we finally have our answer, and it's the latter, but it's not all bad news.A new chapter is on the horizon for the former Melody Bar, as it prepares to transform into Cassette, a refined take on the classic, retro diner, opening at the end of October.If you're expecting a typical greasy spoon, think again. Cassette is going to pack a serious punch in the style department, while stil...

The Halton County Radial Railway (HCRR) allows the public to get up close and personal with the rich history of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) and its generations of streetcars.Located near Guelph, Ont.

3 d. ago What a $5 million Toronto interior designer's home looks like

If houses could flirt, 239 Borden St. would wink at you from across the street, pull you inside, and then casually drop the fact that it has a 400-bottle wine cellar, rooftop hot tub, and stained glass windows from 1878. We're already blushing.  Professionally rebuilt by designer and owner Lyndsay Jacobs, the house was taken down to its bones — leaving only the original front façade intact — before being transformed into a four-storey showcase of craftsmanship, function, and character.The project wrapped up in July 2023, and it has already been celebrated with a House & Home "House of the Month" feature and featured in Beta Publishing's Timeless Living.The front of the house. Although, to be fair, we'd expect nothing less from a designer's own home. The living room. Inside, the first thing that strikes you is the mix of history and modernity.A powder room with a Red Alicante marbl...

3 d. ago Who decides if Rogers Centre roof opens for Toronto Blue Jays playoff games?

When the Toronto Blue Jays take to the field this Saturday for their first game of the playoffs, you can bet that it'll be quite the pop coming from the local crowd.It's been three years since the last time Toronto hosted a playoff game, and fans are eagerly anticipating how the American League East champions might fare this fall.But one of the biggest questions on everyone's minds is: will the game be played indoors or outdoors?The seven-day forecast from the Weather Network shows temperatures as high as 24°C on Saturday afternoon, which would conceivably be warm enough for an open roof for Toronto's first playoff game.But at the Rogers Centre, indoor playoff games have been the standard since its opening as the SkyDome way back in 1989. And while a fair-weather outdoor baseball game is one of the best ways to watch any sport, it's not usually the case come October in Toronto.The Jays have hosted just five outdoor playoff home games in their history: four in...

3 d. ago Ontario border struggles all week as outages back up trucks and airport kiosks

Ontario's border has been a mess all week, to say the least, as drivers and travellers continue to face long delays caused by repeated system outages at Canadian customs and border inspections kiosks. On Thursday, commercial truck drivers entering Canada at the Blue Water Bridge just outside of Sarnia reported waits of several hours due to a system outage that was confirmed by the Michigan Department of Transportation. Although the outage has since been resolved, videos of the resulting gridlock quickly spread on social media. In a statement, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) confirmed that while the outage has since been resolved, "commercial drivers continue to experience delays" as normal processing resumes and the agency works to clear a backlog of requests that were received during the outage. #BORDER: Six Hour Delay Entering Canada At📍Blue Water Bridge. 🇨🇦🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/kYpJKmGLXv— 401_da_sarpanch (@401_da_sarpanch) October 2, 202...
