5 h. ago Ontario Chuck E. Cheese's rumoured to be headed for rare international designation

You don't need to have ever stepped foot in a Chuck E. Cheese's in your life to know what the iconic business is all about, or that it has been revived since its parent company, CEC Entertainment, filed for bankruptcy over the pandemic.The chain of mechanical rat pizza and child casinos, in the words of online jokesters, is actually doing quite phenomenally, all things considered: it saw a $288 million jump in revenue from 2019 to 2023, remains a common subject of cultural reference 48 years after its founding, and still boasts a whopping 482 locations across the U.S. and Canada.Even though only 11 of these are north of the border, one local outpost of the kids' party place is allegedly on track to achieve legendary status, reserved for only a handful of Chuck E. Cheeses in the world. (Whether the restaurant still technically has or doesn't have an apostrophe 's' at the end of its name is up for debate.)There are what CEC Entert...

8 h. ago Parking in Toronto is a mess with the snow right now and these are the rules

One wouldn't think that Canada's largest city would end up debilitated for weeks because of a few hits of snow in the middle of winter, but here we are, with the City of Toronto's cleanup efforts set to take a few weeks to complete after back-t0-back storms earlier this month.The wintry precipitation proved to be enough to derail streetcars, halt mail service and close businesses, and even though we haven't seen any substantial accumulation in days, some sidewalks and lanes in the downtown core are still impassable.Navigating the city is one thing, but parking is decidedly more of a disaster, even after the bulk of roadways are looking far clearer than just one week ago.Many side streets have been reduced to just one lane (either total or in each direction), with the others piled too high with snow to traverse, or blocked off by the city for future clearing.For the 55,000+ residents who hold parking permits for these roads, nabbing a spot has become exponent...
