2 h. ago Two beloved neighbourhood institutions in Toronto to be replaced with new tenants

Two long-standing local businesses in a Toronto neighbourhood are about to get taken over by some exciting tenants.It's never easy to see cherished local businesses — especially those that have been fixtures for years — close down, and even less so to see someone else move in; especially when it all too frequently ends up being the fifth cannabis dispensary in a 2-kilometre radius, or a new location of a chain no one really asked for.In the case of Leslieville, though, it just so happens that two beloved businesses that have closed their doors in the past year or so have both been scooped up by new tenants, and they're both small, local businesses.As a one-time east side resident for many years, when Reliable Fish and Chips shut down after nearly 100 years, I was absolutely shattered.

The Greater Toronto Area's (GTA) real estate market is currently facing some significant challenges, with March 2025 marking the lowest home sales for the month in over two decades.Spring usually brings a boost in housing activity, but this year, it's witnessed a slow market with many prospective buyers putting a hold on their homeownership dreams ahead of the federal election and the ongoing trade war with the U.S.According to the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board's (TRREB) March report, many buyers have adopted a "wait-and-see approach," which has translated into slower market activity. However, amid these challenges, the report also revealed a silver lining for would-be homeowners.The report indicates that homeownership in the GTA became more affordable in March 2025 compared to the previous year. On average, both borrowing costs and home prices declined over the past year, which made monthly payments more manageable for households looking to purchase property in the region...

If you need more space in your life, either for your car collection or your mental health, and you like mid-century design, 2510 17th Sideroad in King City might just be your dream home. Sitting on nearly five acres of land backing onto a ravine, this property is undoubtedly drool-worthy. But then you see the house itself, and it definitely stands out among the McMansions for which King City is known. The loft office. With a mid-century vibe, this 8,000 square-foot home is "Architectural Digest-worthy," or at least in the words of the listing agent, Tara McCarthy. The music room, living room and dining room. As you enter the home, you're greeted by soaring ceilings (up to 30-feet in some parts), warm wood floors, panelled ceilings, and tons of natural light. The family room. On the main level of the home, you have an open concept layout with the principal rooms. The living room. The sunken living room is very 70s with wood panel...
