Environment Canada warns of the first “heat event” of the season beginning Sunday. It says temperatures are expected to be near 31 degrees Sunday and Monday with overnight lows near 20 degrees, providing little relief from the heat during this timeframe. It is also possible that these heat conditions will persist into Tuesday. Temperatures will fall below heat warning criteria by the middle of this week. EC offers concern for young children, pregnant women, older adults, people with chronic illnesses and people working or exercising outdoors.

Honey, honey

What’s coming next to your favorite fatty food coffee stop as Health Canada ponders a widespread ban on the marketing of unhealthy food to anyone 17 and under. The possible strictures to young hands glomming onto a Honey Cruller are said to include hiding the donuts under the counter or inside a locked cupboard like cigarettes. In addition, you can forget all those ads saying things like “Hey, Canada, Go for the Glazed.” Nope. Kids might see it and (gasp) gobble one down. According to the CBC, which might be more excited about this than The Bulldog, the ban could cover everything from TV, online and print advertising to product labelling, in-store displays and even end some sponsorships for sports teams. The federal government announced the first step in St. John’s Saturday morning by launching public consultations on how foods are marketed to kids in Canada. “Most of the foods that are marketed to kids are these ones that are high in fat, high in sugar, high in sodium, so that’s what we’re looking at,” said Hasan Hutchinson, director general at Health Canada, who is overseeing the consultations. Very nice to know that Canadian humanity is being so well watched.

1960s hero

Nobody

Unfortunate

Adam West has died at the age of 88. West was known to generations of TV fans as the real Batman (and Bruce Wayne). Who is Marie Parie? Why absolutely nobody. But, this clever woman intrigued her way onto the red carpet at Cannes and pretended as if she was woo hoo. A million cameras fell for it. Toronto’s naked bicycle ride has exemption from the indecent exposure statute. And below, a more serious side to this eclectic news bundle, as ABC tells the story of the hot hair balloon pilot hurled out of the basket leaving hapless passengers on their own. Yikes.

Patios busy

Never better

Gentleman offers cheese

Through the Garden Gate on Hudson Drive

De La Mer

Sure you must have got out today and maybe visited our favorite high street, South Bayview Ave. The patios were busy to jammed as evidenced by McSorley’s. Businesses like Alex Cheese were offering nibbles and De La Mer was selling yummy salmon burgers and wurts. The seafood hotdog. Yep. In Moore Park and north Rosedale dozens of homeowners opened their gardens to visitors on the Through the Garden Gate tour sponsored by the Toronto Botanical Garden.

The sad aftermath of the fire at Ryus Noodle Bar at 33 Baldwin is seen in the photos and video above. The damage may well exceed $2 million according to the fire chief, keeping in mind the valuable land on which these century old properties sit. Chief Pegg said he concludes that the blaze started in the kitchen before spreading into the ceiling and walls. At one point, five alarms were rung and as many as 40 units  attended.

Hats off to these enterprising young people who were selling lemonade from their very own stand on Southvale Drive Friday. The cause helping ALS research. Well done guys.

This amusing shot of Yonge Street looking south from Merton shows the street in 1959 or 1960. It can’t be too much earlier because there’s a completed subway system on the right side of the shot. The train would surely be going to Dominion Coal at Mt. Pleasant and Merton. That corner is now home to the sunny residences at 319 Mt. Pleasant Rd. The picture was tweeted Friday by the @oldTOseries.

On Sunday beginning at 2 p.m. the Texas auction house of Heritage Auctions will begin accepting bids via EBay Live Auctions on these early 1990s Adidas Apple sneakers. The nearly mint condition shoes come from an era when the computer firm dabbled in making clothing. These were available exclusively to Apple employees. The bidding will start at $15,000 and many knowledgeable people are saying that $30,000 or more may be what’s needed to take them home.

Inside Conspiracy Pizza

Friday night four young men were at work at the former welding building at 176 Wicksteed Ave. in Leaside’s industrial district making pizzas. This is the same building that has housed Adam Skelly’s successful smoked meat restaurant since early last year. The pizza business is a coupe of months old. Skelly’s friend and business partner Alison Hunt seems to be in the forefront. Ms Hunt was posting on Leaside Community Facebook in recent hours about the overwhelming response to a post June 4 for the pizza place, which is called Conspiracy Pizza.  She says of the enterprise: ” We’re making really tasty pizzas with fun topping combinations. They are all $20-28 for 18″ pies (freakin’ huge).” And indeed, from the response on Leaside Community there is a lot of business to be done.

A fire in a small noodle bar at 33 Baldwin St. at the junction with Henry St., near Chinatown has been the scene of a smoky fire which eventually rang five alarms. It is now contained. Smoke was seen for miles from the fire which occurred during a busy lunch time. No one appears to have been hurt. The video above was tweeted on the account of @snappedbycam. As many as 40 units filled the narrow street of the old central downtown neighbourhood at the height of the fire.
