“If you want new ideas, read old books” – Editor’s Note

IN nine weeks, we’ll be celebrating the arrival of 2023. Those words sound a bit surreal, especially since we’ve been through a lot – a pandemic that significantly changed the way we live, a war that impacted (and continues to do so) the whole world, and many other events, some better than others.

Over the past few months, we’ve been attending events that discussed what the future will look like, with the tech sector being in a consistent growth trend, allowing people to approach work and businesses very differently. When we reflect on the past few years, it seems like the way we live drastically changed, and will likely continue to do so. So how do we prepare for the future?

Editor's Note

“If you want new ideas, read old books,” said a wise man once. This becomes apparent when you talk to people like Zee, who was an entrepreneur, an innovator, a revitalizer of our downtown, and a kind man, before all those things became trends. We were inspired by the conversation; not only does Zee have a successful business and family life, he is also a man who approaches everything with kindness and treats everyone like family. For real. After chatting with him for an hour, I felt like we’d been friends forever, and I could text him tomorrow to ask for advice. His ability to make you feel ‘seen’ is likely behind all that success, and I am reminded that when we wonder what the future and new trends will look like, we don’t need to look far. Our own examples of prosperity are right here, all we have to do is hear their stories, and get inspired.

This edition also brings you a review of El Corazon, a restaurant in the new West Glenora Block, that brings us a transformational experience of Latin American cuisine, from cocktails, to main courses, to desserts. It’s a must-visit spot, especially when you’re looking for an escape during the cold days.

Holiday events are coming our way, and our fashion gift guide brings you some dazzling ideas for thoughtful luxuries, whether they are gifts to yourself or to others.

Enjoy the November edition, and let’s get excited about welcoming ’23 soon!
