The Toronto Rock's tendency to employ a rough-and-tumble style became its downfall Friday night, suffering only its second home loss since moving from Hamilton in 1999, in a 16-13 defeat at the hands of the Washington Power.
By now, the Rock were barely stumbling along, seemingly incapable of understanding that the referees were not going to allow it to overpower Washington with the usual Toronto rough stuff.
Toronto never again got closer than three goals, and found itself dead in the water when goals by Matt Shearer and Neil Doddridge extended the Washington lead to 12-7 at the end of three.

 Alpine Club: Ontario Rock   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Because of its proximity to Toronto (45 minutes' drive), short walk in, moderate grades and southern aspect, this is by far the most heavily used crag in Southern Ontario.
Lion's Head is three-and-a-half hours' drive north of Toronto, on the edge of the Bruce Peninsula, and is probably the finest climbing area on the Escarpment.
The rock is never to be fully trusted, even on well-travelled routes; protection is rarely abundant; the climbing involves awkward moves on sloping holds that often seem to face the wrong way; retreat is problematical (unless you are adept at swimming while wearing a full rack); and the exposure can be very intimidating.

 Hard Rock Cafe, Toronto - Restaurants - VirtualTourist.com
Well, the Hard Rock cafe is known worldwide, there are restaurants in most countries (all that I have been to), therefore you either like it and try to buy the shirt from the "coolest" location (I've seen far too many Hard Rock Cafe Miami or Los Angeles...) or you just avoid it.
The cafe is literally part of the Toronto Skydome arena, and from a window seat at the cafe you could watch a baseball game with the same view as an exclusive reserved sky box.
The food is the same as all Hard Rocks, but it's kind of fun to watch the field - even if there wasn't a game in progress when we got there and we just watched the maintenance guys doing their thing.

First, Toronto was starved for blues; second, a favorable exchange rate meant he could afford top American talent; and third — perhaps most importantly — blues audiences drank.

Many in the Toronto scene suggest that it was Burke who ultimately forced the El Mo's closure by dismissing Jahangiri’s initial suggestion to feature live music on the first floor.
