Good luck to Pryanka and Razi

We see a lot of amusing wedding signs through the front window of Homefront. But this one gracing the marquee of the Eglinton Grand took our fancy. Good luck Pryanka and Razi with your extraordinary Bollywood life adventure.

Jackson Falk antique shop closing

Jackson Falk at 1096A Yonge Street always had interesting bric-a-brac but was rarely open. Locals complain that they had to call a phone number on the door to raise the owner. Now the shop is closing and a sign on the window indicates it's been there for some 16 years. Too bad because many people said they loved this antique shop. It had a lot of charm and was full of authentic and unique pieces, they say.  Locals add that the absence of Jackson Falk will certainly make the walk north from Roxborough W. less interesting.
