Local Round-up:

#1. You say Beach, and he says Beaches...

If you've been socializing with people from outside the Beaches in the last few weeks,  it's likely you have been asked many times on this topic - which one is it, the B1... or the B2...?

Located at 1646 Queen Street East, Casa Di Giorgio simply means ‘‘House of George’’, slightly less romantic in translation, but it looses nothing in atmosphere. As a young couple emigrating from Greece, George and Georgina Havaris opened their original restaurant! ... [full story]
