14 h. ago Totally unliveable Toronto house is somehow still selling $800,000

The Toronto real estate market is, by all metrics, kinda terrible right now. And yet, it somehow still has the audacity to ask almost $800,000 for an unliveable house.120 Castlefield Ave. is literally falling apart — but because it's in Toronto’s coveted Allenby neighbourhood, it's still considered valuable.At one point, this house was probably fine. It's a classic three-bedroom, one-bathroom semi-detached with original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and a fireplace. But those days are long gone.A bedroom. After what looks like years (decades?) of neglect, the inside of the home resembles a horror movie set more than a real estate listing.The kitchen. The walls are crumbling, the paint is peeling, the ceiling is literally falling in, and the kitchen looks ... terrifying. A bedroom. Despite this, the house is listed at $799,900 — a relative "bargain" in a neighbourhood where semi-detached homes usually sell for $1...

14 h. ago That time Marilyn Monroe came to Ontario to film in Niagara Falls

For a brief period in June 1952, Niagara Falls wasn't just the setting for honeymoons and trips. For two weeks, the area became the backdrop for the noir thriller film appropriately titled Niagara, starring Hollywood bombshell Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Cotten. Over two weeks, locals watched as film crews transformed the area's streets into movie sets, and Monroe, who was already gaining attention in Hollywood, became just as much of an attraction as the falls themselves. Filming officially began on June 2, and Monroe arrived shortly after, on the morning of Thursday, June 5. The actress stayed in town until June 18, and during that time, scenes were shot across the city, from the old post office and city hall, to the hospital and down in Chippawa. Marilyn Monroe during the filming of Niagara.
