As World Cup action in Toronto starts today, Tales of Toronto looks at the story of Toronto Metros-Croatia and their 1976 NASL Soccer Bowl victory - a win their league wasn't enthusiastic about. #TOHistory #soccer jamiebradburnwriting.wordpress.com/2026/06/12/t...

The Moroun family does realize that in the long run, they will either be forgotten because they have not made any productive contributions to their surrounding community, or will be remembered negatively by future historians for their greed and destructive habits, right? Right?

Side research find: before it was a rainy day in Pizzaville, they gave away free Faygo redpop! Also, I can't really picture the stereotypical clip art pizza chef in this ad saying that it was a rainy day in Pizzaville. The Telegram, March 2, 1971 #vintagead #TOHistory

Stray thoughts while suffering from a cold: in this day and age, would there still be a market for trying to self-syndicate some sort of historical column for local/community newspapers? Or has that ship completely sailed? (Reading old journalism mags and seeing people do this in the 80s)
We drove by a large group of school kids headed towards Monarch Park this afternoon for a Pride celebration. We gave them a few honks, which made them very happy. I love this city.
Side research find: Keith Richards was hardly the only musician busted for drugs while passing through Toronto. From the November 10, 1970 Telegram, here's the tale of jazz great Cannonball Adderley being late for a gig at the Colonial Tavern... #TOHistory
The Ambassador Bridge should also be the poster child for why pieces of international infrastructure should not be privately owned.
Which gives me an excuse to post some classic Cannonball Adderley from a few years earlier... www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9mY...
