5 h. ago Hidden gem noodle shop in Toronto closes and a Tim Hortons will replace it

A Toronto noodle restaurant popular in its neighbourhood has closed down permanently, and what's replacing it is so typical.In Toronto, we're lucky enough to have fantastic Chinese restaurants on seemingly every city block. Still, that doesn't mean that people aren't entitled to picking favourites.For Annex residents and folks who frequent the Bloor and Bathurst area alike, one such favourite was Szechuan Noodle Bowl, the only Toronto location of a three-restaurant chain specializing in Szechuan cuisine and noodle-based dishes. Go figure.Situated directly at the corner of Bloor and Bathurst, steps away from Bathurst subway station, the restaurant has been a hub for those searching for a steaming bowl of hand-pulled noodles priced at $15 or less.Their Dan Dan Noodles, might we add, are out of this world.Nowadays, though, Torontonians will have to travel to the chain's other locations in Mississauga or, if you're in the mood for a road trip, Hamilton, to get their fill,...

16 h. ago It's been 10 years since a dead Toronto raccoon captured hearts around the world

Ten years have passed since the famous dead Toronto raccoon incident, where the little critter and its shrine stole our hearts.It was on July 9, 2015, at the corner of Church and Yonge when the little dude, affectionately named Conrad, met his untimely death and became an instant icon in the city's lore.It took a whole 14 hours before the City's animal services came and scooped up the raccoon's lifeless body — and in that time, the internet, the city, and others around the world celebrated his trash panda life and mourned its untimely end.The whole saga started when the City was alerted via Twitter (it was still Twitter back then) that Conrad had met his maker. But as the day passed, poor Conrad's carcass continued to melt in the hot July sun as mourners stopped to pay their respects.The sidewalk memorial is growing, @311Toronto.
