A new Starbucks has opened at 62 Overlea Blvd. and Beth Nealson Drive. It is a light and airy place with windows on three sides. The feeling is more like a bar than a Starbucks. We call the welcome appearance of this place part of the Costco effect. At right, Leaside’s John Epping and his stalwart crew have captured the Canadian Beef Masters men’s title with a 7-4 victory over Calgary’s Kevin Koe in Truro, NS. It is Epping’s fourth championship in the Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling series and completes a career Grand Slam for the skip having captured all four majors. At centre left, boys and girls soccer teams from Maurice Cody Public School won their classes at the Toronto District Elementary School Athletic Association (TDESAA). Nice going guys. At centre, for $624,900 you can move straight in at 874 Cosburn. That’s just east of Woodbine Ave. At the bottom, three always enjoyable events at local churches coming up next Saturday, November 3.
