The sun is now down at the end of this superb June Thursday but when we took a few photos inside Hollywood Gelato just before 9 p.m. it was still dusk and the temperature was 19 degrees. Toronto is closing in on the longest day of the year and it is anyone’s best guess as to whether this lovely time of the year will be enough to blot out memories of the December ice storm. But let’s be happy like the crowd of young and old at Hollywood Gelato. Every one of the flavours at the venerable Italian-style cafe was in demand. The South Bayview Bulldog prefered a couple of subtle flavours — Hazelnut and Cookies and Cream. Well, okay, if not super-refined certainly more high-tone than Cake Batter and Peanut Butter Chocolate, yummy as they are. Across South Bayview on this splendid evening is a sign on the window of the former Sentry toy shop indicating that a new cold pressed juicery will open there. It is to be called Refuel. We wish them good luck.
