2 h. ago Toronto house that's internet famous for giant skeleton is for sale

If you've ever walked down Davenport Road in Toronto, chances are you've done a double-take in front of one home known for a very tall, very bony local celebrity.Affectionately known as Bones, the 12-foot skeleton on the front lawn of 2043 Davenport Rd. has become a neighbourhood icon and low-key internet legend thanks to homeowner and realtor Samantha Fraser's delightfully weird sense of humour.Over the years, Bones has been transformed into Barboo, Chappell Roan of The Pink Bony Club, and more. Yes, there are costumes. Yes, they're fabulous.The front entrance. But while Bones brings the drama, the house itself is all calm vibes and cozy charm.A home office. Now listed for $1,389,000, this four-bed, three-bath semi is surprisingly spacious, impeccably maintained, and—according to Fraser—shockingly quiet for being on a main street.The living room. From the outside, it looks modest (aside from the towering skeleton in the front yard), but step ins...

2 h. ago Toronto coffee shop opened over COVID is closing down and here's what's replacing it

A Toronto coffee shop that exemplified the trendy minimalist aesthetic is officially calling it quits.There had been whispers about the impending closure of Dundas West's Hamers Coffee for weeks before the specialty coffee shop's owner, Derek, took to Instagram in mid-June to confirm the rumours.Opening its doors in early 2020, the cafe's ability to stick around despite opening at perhaps the worst possible time for a new business in the last decade is a testament to just how quickly Hamers became a cherished part of the neighbourhood.With a sleek, minimal interior and small-but-mighty menu, which included some truly to-die-for sandwiches, Hamers has become a cornerstone of Dundas West over its five years in business — no small feat in a neighbourhood renowned for its never-ending influx of buzzy businesses.Hamers' reign in the neighbourhood is soon to come to a close, though, as the team prepares to close it down for good after its final service on Sunday,...

11 h. ago Divisive Toronto bus lanes shortened but not for the reason you think

There's one proposed road change that has been kicking up more controversy in Toronto lately than even cycling paths and construction-related closures: bus lanes.As part of its RapidTO project to prioritize the flow of transit vehicles, the City revealed plans for TTC-only lanes on Bathurst and Dufferin streets, two thoroughfares that, like most major roads in Toronto, are perpetually backed up with traffic.While the dedicated lanes were recommended in light of the congestion that will inevitably come from the upcoming FIFA World Cup — for which we are hosting six matches at BMO Field next summer — they are something some residents have been requesting, at least on Dufferin, for years.However, those who have gone to considerable lengths to advocate for the additions have now been met with equally strong dissent from locals, many of whom are business owners, who argue that the on-street parking that would be...
