“I love my bowling. I still throw 10-pin, but my ball isn't as heavy. It's a nine-pounder.” Joyce Frost, a 97-year-old patron of Bowlerama West, asks CBC Toronto: “Where we gonna bowl next?” The nonagenarian fixture of the alleys at 5429 Dundas West, which is shuttering January 31 to make way for condos, explains that she was stuck on five-pin until around the time she turned 50. (Since 1983, Frost has been a member of the Toronto Historical Bowling Society.) The closure means one fewer Bowlerama, whose jingle was once a fixture of overnight radio and TV. The chain will be down to three locations, but the reservation line remains: 416-YOU-BOWL.

WestJet stopped a Christmas party DJ from playing their song. The airline known for being super-friendly met its match in 17-year-old Florida rapper Lil Pump, whose current hit, “Gucci Gang,” features the words, “Everybody scream, ‘Fuck WestJet.'" When a DJ at a WestJet holiday party tried to play the track, marketing VP Richard Bartrem managed to intercede. The bad blood has been pumping ever since Pump was banned from flying with the airline, after an
intoxicated episode last summer. WestJet, for its part, doesn't regret protecting the safety of its less-drunk customers.
