18 h. ago Toronto house listed for just $1 is primed for a bidding war

In this slow real estate market, some realtors are thinking outside the box to get their house to sell. Take 218 Bogert Ave., for example. This three-bedroom, three-bathroom home in West Lansing has been on and off the market four times since 2023 without selling. The living room. It was first listed for $1,599,000, but after a month on the market, owners took it down. They then performed a couple of upgrades in the house, like painting the kitchen cabinets, and re-listed it for $1,698,000.But, it still didn't sell.  A bedroom. Most recently, it was listed again for $1,888,000. But still, you guessed it: no bites. A bathroom. Now, the realtors have opted to list 218 Bogert Ave. for just $1, hoping maybe they'll get lucky and spark a bidding war that will get the owners closer to their desired selling price. A bedroom. It does seem a bit strange that the involved parties have ...

27 h. ago Beloved burger joint in Toronto grows from one to nine locations in under a decade

What began as a cozy, independent burger shop founded by childhood friends has become one of Toronto's most popular chains over the past nine years, and it shows few signs of slowing down.Ask any die-hard Toronto smash burger fanatic which is their favourite, and there's a fairly solid chance that, alongside competitors like Burger Drops and Matty's Patties, they'll say RUDY.Not for nothing, but many of us agree.So popular have RUDY's burgers become in the nine years since the inaugural location of the burger shop opened in Little Italy, in fact, that the burger business now more closely resembles an empire, with co-founder and owner Luke McCann on a war path to spread the gospel of Toronto's best smash burgers across the entire province.That's not to say that RUDY's success in Toronto was instantaneous, though. In fact, Luke tells me that the rise to the top, so to speak, has actually been a slow and steady one.The chain, founded by Luke and his long-time friend Chris Simpson,...

Toronto's very own Wavelength Winter Fest returns this weekend for three nights straight of live performances some of the most innovative up-and-comers on the indie scene alongside immersive interiors.I may be biased, but Toronto's indie music scene — and, more broadly, Canada's, — is home to some of the most unique and impressive artists around today, which is why the city's already-bountiful selection of collectives, venues and event series' that support them are so significant.Wavelength, a collective founded in 2000 on the premise of uplifting indie music acts across Canada, has been a major player on that scene for the past quarter century; and they're not slowing down any time soon.From Feb. 27 to March 1, Wavelength Winter Fest, one of Wavelength's annual marquee music events, returns to their haunt at St. Anne's Parish Hall for not only three nights of live music from hidden gems and up-and-comers alike, but a celebration of 25 years of the organization."Jus...
