8 h. ago Crumbling $2 million Toronto multiplex looks like the set of a horror movie

If you've ever strolled the leafy streets of Toronto's Little Italy neighbourhood and wondered what the insides of those grand old homes-turned-too-many-apartments actually look like, well, wonder no more.Anyone who has ever rented as a student in this city probably already knows the answer: many of them look like haunted houses that have given up trying.And none of them haunt harder than 43 Dewson St.A vacant unit. Perched on a quiet corner just a stone's throw from the buzz of College Street, this "majestic" six-unit multiplex just hit the market for $1,945,000—after a not-so-subtle price drop from $2.2 million.The living area of the vacant unit. Why the discount? Because this place is rough. Like, a bathtub falling through the floor-level rough.Another vacant unit with a fireplace. Sure, if you squint through the cobwebs, crumbling plaster, and general aura of despair, you can catch glimpses of the home's former glory and character-filled past....

Tucked away behind the preserved facades of a Victorian townhouse in Toronto's Bloor-Yorkville neighbourhood is WDLT 117, a three-storey designer concept store that blurs the line between retail and lifestyle.Founded by Chloe Ma and Darryl Ding, WDLT 117 brings together fashion, design, coffee, home goods, and flowers under one roof at 7 St. Thomas Street. The store came about after the founders, who often travelled around the world, noticed a lack of representation of emerging brands and more fashion-forward pieces.The hybrid shop is located in a building that's the "first of its kind" office condo in Toronto to offer exclusive commercial ownership, and seamlessly blends Victorian townhomes with a contemporary fritted glass tower.2022 exterior of the Victorian townhome exteriors incorporated into the base of 7 St. Thomas.

Toronto-born singer Christina Smith thinks of her breakthrough in the classical music industry as a "happy accident.""My mom would play a lot of classical music in the house, so it kind of became part of our daily life," she tells blogTO. "We'd be on the bus, and she used to think I was screaming until she realized there were actually matching pitches with some of the songs that we've heard on the radio. And that's when she realized that I gravitated towards classical music."Smith said singing classical music immediately felt "natural" to her.Smith, a Toronto-based Caribbean-Canadian making waves as an opera performer, moved back to Kingston, Jamaica, when she was 11. Upon realizing her talents, she recalls people asking her to sing genres like gospel, but she says she couldn't "belt to save my life." That's when she worked with a vocal teacher who gave her the chance to sing opera and other genres of classical music, confirming her mother's suspicions: hitt...

Do you ever reminisce on the luxury of hogging the TV when your roommate is gone for the weekend? Do you live for those lazy, weekend days when you get the condo all to yourself?That's the life for so many twenty-somethings in Toronto. But not so much so for many Toronto parents, who wake up, feed their kids, make lunches and pick them up from school — amongst other things. Until one day, the constant scramble of that reality comes to a halt when the kids move out. Then what?When Leaside mom Charlene Wood first found herself with an empty home after her youngest child went to university, that first taste of solitude in years might have sounded like a dream to some.It meant no noise, no extra responsibilities, and the best of all: all that spare time back to yourself. That transition didn't evoke those feelings in Wood, though. Instead, it left her feeling the effects that many empty-nesters experience after their last child lea...
