Cool Tuesday, live music tonight, tennis at noon.
Drop the summer heat — it's 13°C today. Foo Fighters are coming to Rogers Stadium tonight.
Morning. We've dipped hard from the heat we've been riding — today's sitting at 13°C, so throw on a layer you've been meaning to dig out. The UV's still climbing high at 8.0, so if you're out at lunch or catching the tennis, sunscreen still matters. You've got a solid 14.5 hours of daylight, with sunset not hitting until 8:37 PM, so evening plans have room to breathe.
Couple of heads-up on the commute: Sheppard Ave E around the CPR crossing is getting work done — expect delays if that's your usual route. Same goes for Danforth Ave near West Lynn Ave. Nothing catastrophic, but build in time. And if you're thinking Megabus for a long trip out to Union, maybe scoop a different option — they're backed up.
Ashbridge's Bay got a name refresh for its new sports hub (no more "sewage" playground, which honestly feels like it was overdue), and the subway extension is now three-quarters done — that 11-metre tunnel they're building is a first for Canada, pretty sick. If you're into food stories, Chef Mandar Kulkarni's been doing a Scarborough food tour, revealing where he actually eats when he's off the clock. Worth a read if you're hunting new spots in Scarb.
Lunch-wise, if you're craving something quick and solid, Honestly Good Chicken Fingers just expanded to six spots across the GTA — they're basically T.O.'s answer to what Raising Cane's does down south. Grape Witches has a tomato party happening with Robinson Bread bringing a four-foot-long heirloom sandwich to the table, which is absolutely unhinged in the best way. And heads up: Hershey Kisses are being recalled nationwide over undeclared almonds, so check your stash if you've got them lying around.
Tonight is stacked. Foo Fighters are headlining Rogers Stadium at 5:30 PM with Queens of the Stone Age and Mannequin Pussy — that's your stadium rock move if you want to go big. National Bank Open women's tennis is running at Sobeys Stadium from 12:30 PM if you want to catch a second-round thriller during the day. Smaller vibe? Lee's Palace has Belmont with Major League (19+) at 6:00 PM, and The Garrison's got Slow Joy on their "I Love You So Much I Could Die" tour at 6:30 PM. Weather's clear, so outdoor moves work fine — just don't forget that layer.
Get sorted, stay warm, and catch you tonight.
