PUEBCO, based in Tokyo, has gained recognition for its sustainable design ethos in the homeware and fashion world, with its products appearing at popular retailers like Urban Outfitters in the past.

The Bentway is set to transform into a glowing dreamscape for four nights in October, where Toronto residents can catch a city sunset like never before.

If you've been house-hunting in Toronto — specifically in Scarborough — you probably know the drill: bungalows, split-levels, and the usual suburban cookie-cutter new builds. But every so often, a listing comes along that doesn't just break the mould — it smashes it. That's exactly 544 Bellamy Rd. N does. The historic 2 ½-storey home that stands out from its neighbours in more ways than one. An aerial view of the house and surrounding neighbourhood. For starters, it bears zero re...| blogTO
Did you know that Canada's largest corn maze is located right here in Ontario, in the historic little town of Dundas? If you're looking for a fall adventure that gives you a bit of a challenge, Hanes Farm and Corn Maze offers the chance to get lost in almost 20 acres of vast land, as you zigzag through this impressive labyrinth of fun. This maze sets itself apart from others through its sheer scale — it will take you anywhere from one to two hours to complete, but you'll be fully equipp...| blogTO

Few things demonstrate just how badly the Canadian economy is performing lately than our nation's ballooning unemployment rate, which has just passed a disheartening new milestone. Statistics Canada's monthly Labour Force Survey, the most recent edition of which just dropped on Friday, has shown a steady decline in the number of citizens working from coast to coast. This growing issue has been especially pronounced in Ontario, which saw 26,000 more people lose their employment last month ...| blogTO

The rocky road for Toronto real estate continues as property owners face a dire new reality where sales are falling flat, values are inching downwards, new developments are at a standstill and units that would have once sparked a bidding war are now near-impossible to sell. Though this summer has brought glimmers of a rebound as far as sales volumes — a number which, as recently as May, has been down double-digit percentages compared to the same time last year — there are still a sub...| blogTO
A new restaurant in Toronto puts spuds on centre stage, serving up loaded baked potatoes with a range of international inspirations. If you're as chronically online as we are, there's no way you've missed them: steaming baked potatoes served out of a truck piled high with baked beans, cheese, and whatever other stereotypically British fixings one could dream up. English Jacket Potatoes have been making their rounds on social media for ages now, and loaded baked potatoes can be found on variou...| blogTO
One of the city's most celebrated barbecue restaurants has branched out with a new concept, but don't worry: there’s still plenty of brisket.

The days of Toronto serving as one of the hottest cities in the world for real estate have come and gone, as the region continues to struggle with an abundance of condos, townhomes and houses that no one seems interested in purchasing. Leaders continue to underscore how crucial it is that we ramp up residential construction, yet a record number of homes — upwards of 30,000 — sit on the market each month. The disparity between supply and demand has hit a new high this year, but in th...| blogTO
The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) says it plans to cut 10 per cent of its workforce as part of its "post-pandemic recalibration."

Ontario's newest go-to fried chicken restaurant might also be its most unique, and its founder has been dreaming it up for the past eight years. Fried chicken — particularly that of the addictively spicy variety — has been having a moment across the GTA for, well, years, which made two facts abundantly clear to Sal Hussain, owner of Mississauga's Mad Bird Hot Chicken and Mad Ox BBQ. Firstly, he had to take a stab at creating a hot chicken venture of his own. Secondly, it had to be unli...| blogTO
Toronto doesn't exactly make it easy to find a condo with character. Most new builds lean glassy and generic, but every once in a while, a project comes along that merges history with luxury in a way that feels genuinely special. That's precisely what's happened at 62 Charles St. E., where the 1885 Second Empire Victorian has been completely restored on the outside and is now totally customizable on the inside. Known as the Thomas Smith and Arthur Coleman Houses, the semi-detached homes we...| blogTO
A Toronto bakery known for its Jamaican patties just closed down despite a recent boost in popularity — but it's not goodbye forever. Even if the name means nothing to you, and even if you don't consider yourself a patty lover (in which case, your Toronto resident card will be revoked post haste), there's a high likelihood that you have been exposed to the spicy, flaky creations of Fahmee Bakery. If you've ever travelled through Bathurst, Warden or Islington subway stations, for example, ...| blogTO
Interest rates have eased, the pace of inflation is slowing (though prices are still on the rise), real estate values are plunging, and rent prices are lower than they've been in years. But, it's still nowhere near cheap to live in Toronto, and many people's salaries just aren't keeping up with how the price of goods, services and housing have escalated over the last five years. To float the typical home in the GTA, one needs to rake in more than a staggering $204,000 per year to cover th...| blogTO
