If you need more space in your life, either for your car collection or your mental health, and you like mid-century design, 2510 17th Sideroad in King City might just be your dream home. Sitting on nearly five acres of land backing onto a ravine, this property is undoubtedly drool-worthy. But then you see the house itself, and it definitely stands out among the McMansions for which King City is known. The loft office. With a mid-century vibe, this 8,000 square-foot home is "Architectural Digest-worthy," or at least in the words of the listing agent, Tara McCarthy. The music room, living room and dining room. As you enter the home, you're greeted by soaring ceilings (up to 30-feet in some parts), warm wood floors, panelled ceilings, and tons of natural light. The family room. On the main level of the home, you have an open concept layout with the principal rooms. The living room. The sunken living room is very 70s with wood panel...

9 h. ago Site of former abandoned TTC terminal cleared after years of construction

The former footprint of a long-abandoned TTC bus terminal sits empty after almost a decade of construction chaos.Eglinton Station's original bus terminal was built in 1954 as a surface connection hub for what was then the northern terminus of Toronto's first subway line. It operated for 50 years before a modern replacement opened to the immediate south in 2004, and would sit abandoned for another 12 years.In recent weeks, this site has been cleared of construction equipment, signalling the long-anticipated end of a seemingly cursed transit project that has plagued midtown Toronto for over a decade.Construction of the Crosstown LRT began in the summer of 2011, but it wasn't until mid-2016 that the long-abandoned bus terminal was cleared ahead of its future use as an extraction shaft for two of the four tunnel boring machines (TBMs) that carved the line's underground sections.Launched in 2012 from a similar launch shaft dug in Keelesdale Park, the western pair TBMs carved 10-kilo...

Struggling financially due to the cost of living? You're not alone. A new survey shows most Canadians feel like they're only just covering their living costs.A new H&R Block Canada survey on how much money Canadians save shows that they're increasingly worried about not putting enough away for a rainy day.
