Grab your paddles and lace up those running shoes, because Toronto is about to get a brand-new pickleball court, and it's located smack-dab in the centre of one of the city's most popular malls.Last summer, it seemed like all the sporty-and-fun population of Toronto could talk about was Pickleball. The relatively low-barrier, low-impact and low-cost sport has taken the city, and the world at large, by storm, leading it to earn the distinction as the fastest-growing sport worldwide, adored by athletes and casual players of all ages, abilities and ilk.When it comes to Toronto, the foundation of devoted pickleball clubs like The Jar and Fairgrounds only heightened the fever, making the sport more accessible for pickle-thusiasts the city over, and this summer is shaping up to be no different. If warm weather ever arrives to stay, that is.In anticipation of prime pickleball season, though, there's already some news for avid players (and aspiring ones) to get excited about: The ...

20 h. ago $3 million Toronto unit could change your idea of basement apartments

Anyone who has been apartment hunting knows the general rule, avoid basement apartments at all costs. Unless, of course, you're out of options. No one really wants to live in a basement apartment. They have a reputation of being dark, damp, and generally kinda depressing. However, 1-15 Scarth Rd. might just defy all the stereotypes of basement dwellings. Located in a century-old Victorian home in Rosedale that was renovated back in 2018, this is not your average basement unit. The main living areas. This unit is just one of four units in the historic home and boasts an impressive 3,000 square feet of living space. A breakfast nook. Perhaps more impressive is how light-filled and beautiful this unit is despite being mostly below ground. A living room with tons of light. Thanks to the large windows and skylights, this split-level unit is bright, warm and sophisticated with wide plank engineered wood floors throughout. Exposed brick det...

20 h. ago Former Toronto steakhouse to finally get new tenant after months sitting vacant

One of Toronto's preeminent downtown steakhouses has closed down permanently, and after sitting dormant for months, it's finally about to get a new tenant.Let's face it: steakhouses in Toronto are a dime a dozen, but that doesn't discredit the very real and good things they're doing for the city's residents, namely ensuring we all get our fair share of Surf and Turf and $25 cocktails when the whim strikes.In the past year or so, the city's steakhouse numbers, both within and beyond the downtown core, seem to have been on a steep increase, with new-ish additions like Animl, Linny's and Blue Bovine earning their fair share of limelight in the past several months.Unfortunately, with such a surge also comes the inevitable loss of some preexisting establishments: it's just the law of the concrete jungle.This past summer, one such casualty was The Shore Club, Toronto's own location of what was once a nationwide chain that has since been reduced to just a sing...
