Join Johnny Strides on a walk from Yonge Street to Bayview

by  • 

Have you been avoiding Eglinton Avenue because of the Metrolinx construction? There is a genre of Youtube account that takes you for walks, hikes, bicycle rides or drives in major cities and exotic places all over the world. The “Johnny Strides” Youtube account focuses on walking, cycling, transit videos and livestreams in the City of Toronto.

The Bulldog enjoyed his walk on January 2nd, 2023 aptly named “Eglinton Crosstown Nightmare & Bayview”. He started outside of the Cineplex Cinema at Yonge and Eglinton, strided eastward along Eglinton Avenue East, pausing briefly to preview the new Mount Pleasant Station, then he made his way over to our favourite street, Bayview Avenue continuing south until he hopped on the Bayview 11 bus at Millwood Road. We thought you might like it too. Grab a coffee and enjoy the journey.

Millwood Melt closing mixer happening on New Year’s Eve

by  • 

The mixer will take place on Saturday, December 31, 2022 between 11:00am – 3:00pm.

Guys, we miss you all so much! You made the Melt such a special place, and it’s been feeling empty around here without you.

Since we didn’t get the chance to say goodbye properly when we closed back in September, we’d really love to see you in person and thank you for letting us be a part of your lives and teaching us the value of kindness, loyalty, and laughter in building strong friendships.

So, come say farewell and reminisce with us! We’ll be giving away coffee and cookies – and hugs – to carry us all into the new year. Come take pictures of your favourite things in the shop to remember it by. We’d love to take a picture with you, too, for our shared memories. Let’s close out 2022 together, with big smiles, bursting hearts, and good wishes for the future! xoMillwood Melt Facebook Page
