This dwelling at 87 Forest Heights Blvd. will require a little bit of imagination to seem fabulous, but it can easily be done. Just mentally Photoshop out the heinous...what are those, foam safety squares for children? Yeah, Photoshop those on out of there. And the matching rug, and...just about all of the other furniture and textiles. This place looks like whoever bought it became immediately bankrupt post-purchase and had to furnish the place through trips to Ikea and the now-defunct Zellers. (And trust me, I know first hand what that looks like, people).

Anyway, clear all the crap out of here and you've got an incredible, loft-like gallery space/living area for just a mere $5.5 million.

It was a troubling week on Toronto's DineSafe database. If you love FV Foods, I'm sorry to have to inform you that it's been forced to close due to "gross unsanitary conditions" on top of food safety infractions involving temperature control maintenance. The establishment also failed to perform adequate pest control.

FV Foods was the only closure this week, but 19 other restaurants received conditional passes following their inspections for such delicious mistakes like failure to wash hands and keep food cold enough.

Anime North 2013 draws near! Colloquially known as AN, the event is Toronto's most popular convention for the celebration of Japanese pop culture, from animation and dramas to video games and music. Those heading out to this year's two venues can expect an exciting weekend of wackiness and wonderment.

This Week in Home Video previews all the latest Blu-ray, DVD and on-demand titles hitting the street this week, plus lost gems, crazed Cancon, outrageous cult titles and the best places to rent or buy movies in Toronto.

We're waiting to find out what Rob Ford's next move will be in the wake of last week's crack smoking allegations. The mayor cancelled his weekly Newstalk 1010 radio show and has so far been silent on accusations he was caught on video smoking the illegal drug, not to mention allegedly making some seriously dubious remarks about Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and the kids he coaches.

A statement - hopefully more than a few lines - is expected today but the Toronto Sun says it won't be a confession. Ford is due to appear later at a special council debate to decide the fate of the proposed downtown casino.
