The last time 4 Lucy Ave. hit the market, it was listed as a two-bedroom, one-bathroom home — which already felt like a stretch for a house that clocks in at under 500 square feet.Still, it sold for $430,000 in 2019, a solid $30K over asking.Now it's back—this time with three bedrooms (somehow), the same one bathroom, and a new price tag of $599,888.The living room. You might assume they added an extension. They didn't.The kitchen. Maybe some sleek renovations? Nope.The laundry. In fact, comparing the new listing photos to those from 2019, things look... worse.A bedroom. The front door appears to be buckling, the roof is sagging, and inside, it's giving "dormitory-meets-doomsday-bunker" vibes.Another bedroom. There are five beds crammed into the tiny house, which may even violate Toronto's occupancy bylaws (one person per nine square metres of habitable space, for those keeping track).The basement that has been turned in...

3 w. ago Director of Pixar hits dishes up her top Toronto restaurants

Toronto director Domee Shi is a well-documented lover of the city, and she stopped by to share her favourite restaurants in town.While her latest film, Disney Pixar's Elio, doesn't take place in Toronto, Shi's filmography proves adequate evidence of her love for the city she grew up in, particularly seen in her last major feature, Turning Red, which was set in Toronto.Despite the broadening of Shi's cinematic horizons, Toronto maintains a tender spot in the director's heart, and on a recent visit to the city to promote Elio, she sat down to share some of her favourite places to eat when she's back home.The fact that dim sum is the first cuisine Shi seeks out in the city comes as little surprise, given the director's proclivity for depicting Chinese cuisine and culture in her films (hello, have you seen Bao?).
