🇨🇦 THE BAY: A CANADIAN LEGEND SINCE 1670

Few names in Canadian history carry the legacy of Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC), founded on May 2, 1670, when King Charles II of England granted a royal charter to a group of English investors. Originally established to trade furs across the vast lands surrounding Hudson Bay, the company became one of the most influential commercial enterprises in Canadian history, helping shape the development of the country itself.

Over the centuries, HBC evolved from a fur-trading powerhouse into a retail institution, opening department stores that became landmarks in cities across Canada. Generations of Canadians grew up shopping at The Bay, known for its iconic stripes, the legendary Hudson’s Bay point blanket, and its place in the country’s retail and cultural history.

From the fur trade of the 17th century to the department stores of the modern era, The Bay’s story is deeply woven into Canada’s past — a remarkable journey spanning more than 350 years. 🇨🇦

Burdock Brewery. Kensington Market. Burdock Brewery has become one of the most respected names in Toronto’s craft beer scene, and its Kensington Market expansion has added a modern brewing hub to one of the city’s most eclectic neighbourhoods.

The brewery operates from two adjacent spaces in Kensington:

* Burdock Brewery & Beer Shop at 6 Denison Square is the production brewery and bottle shop. This is where most of Burdock’s beer for Ontario is brewed. Visitors can browse fresh cans and bottles, seasonal releases, and occasionally join guided brewery tours and tastings.
* Right next door on 184 Augusta Avenue is the Kensington Tavern, which opened in 2025 in the former Amadeu’s Restaurant space. It serves Burdock’s beers alongside a full food menu with an emphasis on local ingredients and a few dishes inspired by the building’s Portuguese history.

Closed in 1991–yet the Simpson’s ghost remains 🏙️ A Toronto retail landmark: Simpson’s at Bay & Richmond. 🛍️

Long before today’s glass towers transformed downtown Toronto, the corner of Bay and Richmond was associated with one of Canada’s most iconic department store names: Simpson’s.

The Robert Simpson Company began in 1858, growing from a small dry goods business into a retail institution that generations of Torontonians knew and loved. Its flagship stores became synonymous with holiday shopping, elegant window displays, fashionable clothing and the excitement of a day spent downtown.

Simpson’s was more than a place to shop — it was part of Toronto’s identity, a symbol of an era when department stores were destinations in their own right.

Today, as the city continues to evolve, the memory of Simpson’s reminds us of a different Toronto, when a trip downtown meant browsing grand department stores and experiencing the city at its most vibrant. ❤️

Do you remember shopping at Simpson’s? What are your favourite memories of Toronto’s department store era?

For more than four decades, Falafel World at 2396 Bloor St. W. has been serving up flavour and keeping the neighbourhood well fed. A longtime local staple, this is the kind of place that reminds us why independent restaurants are such an important part of Toronto’s neighbourhoods.

In a city that’s constantly changing, there’s something special about the places that stick around, welcome generations of customers and become part of the community’s identity. ❤️
