17 h. ago Abandoned Toronto car dealership transforming into sports and social club

A vacant car dealership in Toronto is getting a new lease on life as it gears up to be transformed into a trendy sports and social club.Spring has arrived in Toronto (in theory, at least), bringing with it a renewed excitement to get active among friends for many of the city's residents, and one community in particular is about to get an especially exciting new hub to hang out and hit the courts.Last winter, Ontario-based pickleball and padel club, Fairgrounds, burst onto the scene, opening a series of public clubs everywhere from Etobicoke's Cloverdale Mall to the heart of Yonge and St. Clair, giving folks the city over the chance to get their game on, membership fee-free.This season is shaping up to be no different, as the pickleball brand prepares to open a brand-new club in their most creative location yet: a former Mercedes-Benz dealership at Bayview and Eglinton.The new Leaside flagship is setting up shop at 849 Eglinton East as an interim adaptive use of the sp...

Long before Toronto's streets were jam-packed with cars and motorcycles, they were filled with carriages and horse-drawn streetcars.In the 19th and early 20th century, horses were one of the city's primary modes of transportation, and just like today's vehicles need gas stations and charging stations, horses needed water troughs to keep them going through their long journeys.As a result, there were tons of horse and human water fountains across the city at major intersections during this time, and many of them even featured a tiny basin for dogs at their base.Horses having a drink at a Toronto water fountain in the 1910s.
