24 h. ago Detached Toronto house is under $500,000 but there's a catch

Attention, brave souls of the Toronto real estate world: a detached house on Rhodes Ave. E. has magically appeared on the market for under $500,000. Yes, under.Of course, it's a bit of a mess. We're talking a bed in the dining room, particle board–covered windows, missing ceilings, and a basement that adults and children alike would be scared to enter.But according to the listing, it's got "potential", you just need to look past the chaos to see it. What was once probably the dining room. You'll definitely need a strong stomach and positive attitude to navigate the "needs TLC" part.The one and only bathroom that is missing part of the ceiling. From the photos, there's a lot of work to be done if you're going to keep the original structure. An air-conditioning unit is balanced over the stairs. But if you dream of being a handyman, a builder, or a renovator with a boat load of optimism, this could be a gre...

31 h. ago New pub replaces Toronto bar that closed after 16 years in business

A Toronto bar with a cult following closed down last winter after 16 years, and it's finally been replaced.It's been eight months since cult-favourite Dundas West sports bar (and former home of Slammie Sammies), Opera Bob's, closed its doors after 16 years, much to the disappointment and dismay of its devoted regulars.The pub was a local staple for a casual drink, lively night out, and especially for Manchester City football match screenings, as the Manchester City Football Club Toronto has called the bar home for nearly as long as it's been around.Last year, during the Premier League championships, it even got a considerable shout-out from the New York Times.Alas, as Nelly Furtado once said, all good things come to an end, and, in the winter of 2024, the pub closed its doors for good, setting its devoted fanbase adrift, searching for somewhere new to take root.Now, at long last, the space has officially gotten a new lease on life, and Opera ...
