1 hour ago Toronto's sketchiest condo complex put on blast for reputation in new lawsuit

Sure, downtown Toronto condos may be known as shoddily built and too poorly-designed to be very livable, but one complex undoubtedly takes the cake when it comes to bad reputations, and it's only getting worse.The ICE Condos complex has for years held the title of the sketchiest of its kind in the city, being the site of everything from shootings and balcony fires to garbage-filled stairways and bloody elevators that stall.A notorious ghost hotel from the outset due to the Airbnb-friendly nature of its units, the two-tower, Scotiabank Arena-adjacent development at 12-14 York Street has built up quite the lore in its 11 years of existence.The latest addition to the infamy is a lawsuit that gives a glimpse into how bonkers the goings-on at ICE really are; not the countless headline-worthy incidents, but the politics that take place behind closed doors.A recent decision by the Condominium Authority Tribunal shows that ICE board...

A Toronto cafe that's been a neighbourhood stalwart for over 20 years is finally expanding, opening a brand new location in the city.Every neighbourhood has its institutions; those spots that have been there as long as you can remember and that you can't imagine ever closing down. Growing up in the Beaches, for me, that was The Goof (legal name: Garden Gate), but for Mimico, Birds and Beans Cafe fits the bill.Opening its doors in 2004, the cafe has been supplying the community with fair-trade, bird-friendly coffee and eco-friendly goods for the past 21 years out of their charming cafe just off Mimico Square.If you rarely venture deep into the west end of the city, you could go your whole life without knowing it was there, but you'd be worse off for it: the coffee is excellent, and the cafe itself looks and feels like something straight out of Gilmore Girls.As of last month, even more people in the city are getting the chance to experience the magic of Bird...
