Everything is great here Blitty. Kids started in class school on Monday. Been working on an addition in the backyard for awhile now and finally completed before my big (little) 40 celebration last weekend. Now that the outside project is over, Mrs. is ready to do the kitchen..Wife and I are heading to Vegas for NFL opening weekend. Will see if we have any money left for the next project. Congrats on all the grown up stuff Blitty. Some in progress and final photos here.

I'm about to have low windows too, we're moving into a small church that was converted into "luxury" rentals. The 2nd-level bedrooms are slanted.

Just some vocabulary I wouldn't expect they'd use in Ontario in the 1930s

I didn't expect it either. I'm fascinated by this kind of old stuff.

Toronto "Sea Fleas" is nothing I've ever heard before.

Also other things I noted

the admission discounts, I wonder when such discounts became popular

the tax not included, from what i understood tax not included was a more recent decades marketing scheme and in the old days 70+ years ago things included the taxes

also the game advertised for "tonight", by that time newspapers had daily turnarounds but advertising for same day event seems almost modern by those time's standards

Feb 21, 1933 was a Tuesday. The ad was likely set to be printed for that day long in advance so the "tonight" is meaningless.
Leaf games were traditionally played at home on Wednesdays and Saturdays as far as I can recall. So a minor league hockey game on a Tuesday makes sense.
