@davdznga Wholeheartedly agree ❤️

@cookiepusher Agreed, and he had such a talent and sense of authenticity. A really kind person all around. I really wish his close ones the best right now, it’s so hard to lose someone you love.

Spinning for Luis Vasquez 🖤 His music spoke to me at a time when I didn’t even fully understand why… but it’s also really fn great. He was really fn great. If you don’t know, you should find out. The Soft Moon / The Soft Moon (2010) youtu.be/933VFuY5CxY

@davdznga It’s heartbreaking. It was amazing to see how his music evolved over the years.

@cookiepusher Just learning of the news 😢💔 very devastating, RIP

@CraigBaird Eaton Centre and Scarborough Town Centre were my mall rat days …. Thanks for the memories… I know this one well. ♥️

Canada has had many iconic restaurant chains through its history and I am looking at those brands, both past and present! Today, it is mmmuffins, also known as Marvellous Mmmuffins! In 1957, Lou Bregman opened a Bagel King restaurant on Eglinton Avenue in Toronto. He opened the restaurant after spending years working with his father making bagels. With the success of that first restaurant, he opened a second one at Yorkdale Mall where his son Michael served customers. The company continued to grow and by the 1970s, Loblaws was selling Bagel King bagels. By this point, Michael Bregman had completed a Master of Business Administration degree from Harvard and looked to improve the company's bakery department. He found a bakery in Hamilton that made large muffins, about three times the size of typical muffins. He ran a test run in 1979 at two Loblaws locations and the muffins sold extremely fast. Within a week, the order for the muffins had increased 16-fold. With that success, Michael decided he was going to create a muffin shop. Six months later, Michael's Baguette opened in Toronto Eaton Centre. Michael and his wife Barbara started to develop muffin recipes, while his father modified existing recipes. The first franchise store was established on Eglinton Avenue in 1980. The name mmmuffins emerged at this time and due to the mall boom of the 1980s, 130 locations spread across Canada during that decade. At one point, it seemed as though every Canadian mall had a mmmuffins location. In August 1981 alone, the company opened nine stores in Canada. To verify the freshness of the product, mmmuffins had their baking carts in full view of customers. In 1988, Michael bought Second Cup and in the early-1990s, he sold mmmuffins just as the muffin trend was beginning to decline. The company did reasonably well in the 1990s but by the 2000s and the rise of online shopping the chain started to suffer. The company was sold Bruegger's Enterprises in 2009, then Groupe Le Duff, then MTY Food Group. By this point, only a few mmmuffins restaurants remained. In 2019, there were only two stores left. One was in the Scotia Plaza food court in Toronto and the other was in Montreal at the Côte St-Luc Shopping Centre. The Toronto store closed in May 2020. The Côte St-Luc Shopping Centre appears to still be open and is listed on the mall's website, but other sources say it was replaced with a different bakery in 2023.

@ElVoorheez @curefandoc @AdrianMac77 @xoxsang @david_hurley @27leigh @ughvanissa Feels like 100 years … haha

WHO ABSOLUTELY LOVES THE TOP? (besides me!) #thecure

@MonthlyAlbums The second pic is ****ridiculous**** 😆😭

@LolTolhurst I sensed your happiness when you reflected back on your time there in the book … and now I think I also finally understand why there’s such a love/connection between The Cure and France. It’s part of the foundation and French fans recognized that— like looking into a mirror.

@cookiepusher Thank you @cookiepusher for your kind words . I have fond memories of living in Paris in the early 80's for a while .

I think @LolTolhurst would appreciate the stamp of the Shakespeare & Company Bookstore inside my copy of his book Goth: A History. Music aside, there are many great literary references. I wouldn’t expect anything less from a founding member of The Cure! I love it, btw. 🖤 📚

@MonthlyAlbums Wow Bob wow 😊

@MonthlyAlbums Enjoy, friend!

Now that it’s autumn (well, winter here), this is where I’ll be on my days home … I’ll see you in the trees or in 25 years... whichever comes first. 🦉 💚
