Table of ContentsToggle Sharing is caring! With summer finally arriving in London, Ontario, the city transforms into a lively stage for music, food, culture, and family fun. As Canada’s first UNESCO City of Music (designated in November 2021), festivals in London are second to none—offering a packed calendar of events that celebrate everything from global rhythms and local talent to the flavors and traditions of its ever-growing, diverse community.

It’s easy to see why boutique hotels have become such a favorite among travelers in recent decades. As more people look for unique, memorable stays, these properties have stepped into the spotlight by offering something far beyond the ordinary hotel experience. Boutique hotels first started gaining attention in the late 20th century, when travelers and creative hoteliers began pushing back against the predictability of big hotel chains.

I was in Toronto for a business meeting and took the opportunity to stay at the Marriott Downtown Toronto Eaton Centre, a property my sister frequently recommends. She’s a regular guest, and this time, we used her Bonvoy points to book a double room on the 17th floor. It was my first visit, and while our room faced an office building across the street—with just a glimpse of Toronto City Hall—being on a higher floor gave us easy access to the pool and fitness center located on the 18th.

Sharing is caring! Something very strange happened this week. The Chicago Sun-Times issued a public apology after an embarrassing AI-generated fiasco. In its Sunday edition, the paper published a summer reading list featuring 15 books, complete with titles, authors, and descriptions. The problem? Ten of those books don’t actually exist. Included on the list were “titles” supposedly written by well-known authors like Isabel Allende, Taylor Jenkins Reid, and Delia Owens.

Sharing is caring! It was the opening dance sequence—and the cover of the program—that threw me off. Elizabeth Bennet, headphones slung casually around her neck, slow-mo dancing to EDM (electronic dance music)? I balked. I’d expected a traditional production with empire-waist gowns and Regency-era restraint. I was mistaken. Pride and Prejudice, the final production of the 2024–25 season at London’s Grand Theatre, leans into contemporary flair and stylized choices.
