2 h. ago Things are going well for Mitch Marner after leaving Toronto Maple Leafs

The Toronto Maple Leafs' offseason talk this past spring was dominated mostly by one man: Mitch Marner.After nine years on the team and with a shot at becoming the franchise's leading scorer, Marner opted to take his talents elsewhere and find a new home.Technically, Marner actually ended up with his current Vegas Golden Knights team via a sign-and-trade, but he pretty clearly played a part in exiting the Leafs.Fast-forward through one quarter of the Leafs' season, and they're much closer to the bottom of the NHL than the top. Marner's Golden Knights, meanwhile, sit fourth in a jam-packed Pacific Division, but just two points off the division lead.At least in the early days, it seems like Marner's choice to pick a new home has been paying off in dividends, given that the Leafs look like a shell of their former selves this season.How has Marner been doing away from the Leafs?Marner is currently tied for 34th in NHL scoring, with 20 points in 18 games by way of...

10 h. ago Plan to transform Toronto office building into huge tower slapped down by City

An ambitious plan to plop a tower on top of an existing office building has been slapped down by planners.The late 2021 proposal from Slate Asset Management, seeking to add new levels above the Modernist-style 1968-built Padulo Building at 1 St. Clair W., has hit a snag. A new report recommends that City Council refuse the proposed 49-storey development, throwing a wrench in the Gensler-designed development.And the impending refusal actually has nothing to do with height.First tabled in December 2021, the plan calls for the current 12-storey office building to be retained, expanded, and modernized, while two neighbouring low-rises at 11 and 13 St. Clair W. — home to Shenanigans Pub and a Pizzaiolo location — would be razed to make way for the new building.The office building would be renovated and expanded, while the two retail properties on the right would be torn down.

12 h. ago Toronto store around for 12 years gets new start after forced closure for condos

A local, affordable grocer forced out by a condo development this past summer is preparing for a long-awaited comeback just a few steps from its former home.Residents around Yonge Street and Davisville Avenue voiced their concerns over the summer as a block of neighbourhood shops on the northeast corner was vacated to make way for a new condo project.The abrupt clearance swept out several long-standing businesses, including two budget-friendly grocers, namely Fruits Basket and Fresh Buy Market, as well as a neighbourhood sports bar.The project sparked frustration among local residents, many of whom pointed out that the two grocers were vital for some community members, including seniors, who relied on the walkable stores in place of farther, and higher-priced chains like Metro.Among the business casualties was the decades-old sports bar, Kramer's Bar & Grill, which, aside from its staple chicken wings and pints, became known for its community events, like triv...
