Parents in Spain whose babies and toddlers developed abnormal body hair plan to sue a company that put a hair loss treatment into containers meant for a stomach medicine, a mother of one of the children said on Saturday. Spanish health authorities have blamed the packaging mix-up involving the topical treatment Minoxidil and omeprazole syrup, which is used for stomach problems, on Farma-Quimica Sur. Then, a closer look at the little-understood affliction that has struck many teenagers who vape. Across the bottom, racial offense given by a carefully prepared advertisement and separately by an anchorwoman’s careless remark to a colleague. See her distraught apology.

The bus terminal is expected to be completed in 2020.

Green Mermaid on Redway

Loblaws at 11 Redway Rd.

The Loblaws store at 11 Redway Rd. is awaiting the imminent opening of a Starbucks coffee, much the same it would seem as the Starbucks that has proven so popular at Longo’s on Laird Drive. Loblaws appears to have been running a small pilot with Starbucks. There has been one at the 1021 Musgrove store (Victoria Park and Gerrard) since 2016. There’s another in Richmond Hill and one in London. There may be more but what seems clear is that Loblaws own brand of Espresso and Coffee bar has not excited shoppers the way the Green Mermaid does.

A large tower crane at the Leaside Station main entrance will be installed next week during dates stated variously as Monday through Friday, although the work is estimated to take two days.

1636 Baview Ave.

Stylish window papering at 1636 Bayview Ave (the former location of Cumbrae’s) indicates that a French bakery called Bomou will open at the address. There’s a pleasant wink of the tease in the window dressing.  “We’ll be home by Christmas — hopefully much sooner. Just have to clean up here first,” reads one message to those passing. “Bou-lan-ge-rie — French for bakery, Mou-lin — French for mill. Bo-Mou — Bon Baguette, French lesson over,” says another. Evidence of Bomou elsewhere was found on a Picdeer page on Instagram containing many good-looking baked products. The page is being followed by the Bayview-Leaside BIA. There is also a Facebook account under the name of Le Moulin Artisan Boulangerie. There is also an Instagram account in the name of Negar Sabzevari, “pastry chef, founder of Le Moulin Artisan Boulangerie.”
