Grab your paddles and lace up those running shoes, because Toronto is about to get a brand-new pickleball court, and it's located smack-dab in the centre of one of the city's most popular malls.Last summer, it seemed like all the sporty-and-fun population of Toronto could talk about was Pickleball. The relatively low-barrier, low-impact and low-cost sport has taken the city, and the world at large, by storm, leading it to earn the distinction as the fastest-growing sport worldwide, adored by athletes and casual players of all ages, abilities and ilk.When it comes to Toronto, the foundation of devoted pickleball clubs like The Jar and Fairgrounds only heightened the fever, making the sport more accessible for pickle-thusiasts the city over, and this summer is shaping up to be no different. If warm weather ever arrives to stay, that is.In anticipation of prime pickleball season, though, there's already some news for avid players (and aspiring ones) to get excited about: The ...

They have a reputation of being dark, damp, and generally kinda depressing. However, 1-15 Scarth Rd. might just defy all the stereotypes of basement dwellings. Located in a century-old Victorian home in Rosedale that was renovated back in 2018, this is not your average basement unit. The main living areas. This unit is just one of four units in the historic home and boasts an impressive 3,000 square feet of living space. A breakfast nook. Perhaps more impressive is how light-filled and beautiful this unit is despite being mostly below ground. A living room with tons of light. Thanks to the large windows and skylights, this split-level unit is bright, warm and sophisticated with wide plank engineered wood floors throughout. Exposed brick det...
