Casino royale!
Toronto is a city filled with a multitude of splendid theatres. Among them are the Princess of Wales, Royal Alexandra, Canon, Elgin and Winter Garden, Massey Hall, the Hummingbird, St. Lawrence Centre and, on north Yonge St., the Toronto Centre for the Arts. As popular as these places are, they are probably no more exciting for today's theatre-goers as was the old Casino for Torontonians of yesteryear. This old theatre was located on the south side of Queen St. a few steps west of Bay St. and opposite the future site of the city's long-planned-for new City Hall. In fact, it was this latter structure -- now 41 years old and still referred to as "new" -- that was the primary reason that the Casino was finally demolished. It had no place in a modern downtown Toronto. Built in 1936 in the Art Deco style, the Casino had seating for 1,200 patrons and, as some said, perfect acoustics.

Nutrition Wise: Checking Food Labels or Using Them?
By Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN - Is checking nutrition information on food labels like reading Japanese or Greek? Several surveys now show that most people claim to check nutrition labels when shopping, but may not use that information in making food purchases. Many shoppers don't know how to interpret the data on labels, or how to use it to create an overall healthy diet. .
