If you were a child passing through Toronto since the early 1970s, there's a good chance you may have eaten at The Old Spaghetti Factory.

Torontoist finished Book 7 last night, and we're feeling a little down about the Harry Potter saga being over.

That said, we have to give it up to Cascadia for their bureaucratic genius - It was about time somebody created a Bureau of Sasquatch Affairs.
