Great place for suburbanites who think Jack Astor's is too bougie.

Frosted glass windows or decorated glass are a big thing in the UK. Typically only traditional British pubs do it.
If done right, it doesn't look too bad. Most pubs only frost half the glass.

Holy crap am I taking heat for that tweet. Got some "freedom" peeps calling me all sorts. I was being a bit in jest when I said "illegal," but that's lost on them.

Yikes. I just block almost all blue checkmark accounts these days.

Welcome to Elon Musk's Xitter.
Note that the first letter of Xitter makes an "sh" sound just like in the Pinyin romanization of Mandarin as well as in the Aztec language of Nahuatl.

Interesting article from BlogTO. Apparently, alot of the McDonalds in malls are closing.

So far the following have closed recently
@Northern Light you seem to have insight into random things to the point I wonder if you and the SEC are a first name basis. Do you happen to know what is going on here?

I don't have any inside sources at McDs.....
But offhand, I would note that all of those properties are either subject to proposed development, or will be.
2 out of the 4 have definitely seen significant footfall reductions (fewer customers, shorter mall hours, not sure about the other two).
My guess would be that in at least a couple of cases, McDs is just making a move ahead of redevelopment; while in one or two others, I suspect business is off enough to merit either closure or relocation. But that's just a guess on my part.

I went to check if it's $2 burger day at A&W and noticed this, which looks interesting:

'A Canada thing': Popular menu hack convinces A&W to offer South Asian-style sandwich
On Monday, that Canada-wide status was truly solidified when A&W Canada launched the spicy piri piri potato buddy from coast to coast.

Mad Radish will be opening a new location at King and Yonge, beside Starbucks, where the "box'd by Paramount" used to be.

The suburbanites bought all the condos downtown and ruined the dining scene.

Perhaps, U.S. resto/fastfood chains have a decidedly mixed track record here.
For every Chick-Fil-A, there's a Carl's Junior, a PF Chang and a Panera.
Arguably, their closest comparitor in this market might be Denny's..........which has never done particularly well here.

Cora’s is one of the few things that has survived the brutal King E market. Maybe ihop can mimic them?
