Truly Unique Pizza on King and Jarvis

I recently had the opportunity to try True True Pizza on King Street, just east of Jarvis.  The pizzeria, which recently reopened after re-branding from One Pizza, offers uniquely shaped, oblong, personal sized pizzas with a variety of different toppings where customers can customize to their liking.  These toppings include the usual suspects found in […]

Fuller House: Nostalgic and a bit Cheesy at Times

Fuller House, television, Netflix

Us late Xers and early Millennials grew up watching Full House on Friday evenings, and later, Tuesdays.  And now that the sequel (can we call it a sequel?) has launched on Netflix, many may be binge-watching the first season, which launched on February 26.  I still have a few more episodes to watch (at least […]

But in recent years, Toronto’s largest galleries, museums and performing arts centres are aggressively targeting a younger and hipper audience. This may be a strategic decision – get ‘em while their young […]
