A quaint commercial property at 1555 Dundas Street East on the corner of Hastings Ave is listed for $998,000. The offer sells the business as well — a “spa” of some type which is said to generate about $3,000 in business per month. It is a modest but no doubt proud neighborhood and it will be interesting to see if this remaining storefront from another age and the living quarters behind it can fetch a million dollars. Listing
The Family Day morning of Monday, February 20, 2017 will be the time for many police officers to launch the distracted driving campaign called “That Text or Call Could End It All.” This one-week initiative will highlight all dangerous activities associated with drivers who talk, text, type, dial or email using hand-held communication and entertainment devices. This campaign will incorporate the use of a hearse and both stealth and fully marked police vehicles. The young shown above are a wrenching reminder of the dangerous use of phones.

Former prime minister Brian Mulroney has sung When Irish Eyes are Smiling at a cancer charity event at Mar-a-Lago, the private club owned by Donald Trump. Mulroney was urged urged to go onstage by musician David Foster who played the piano for the former prime minister. The offering is seen in out of focus video posted to YouTube. It is said to have inspired favorable comments from the crowd about Canada and the current PM Justin Trudeau. The Saturday evening event recalled a much more rehearsed Mulroney vocalizing of Irish Eyes with then President Reagan in the 80s. On that occasion the warbling diplomacy was seen as evidence of the enduring (and favorable) relationship enjoyed by Canada with the US.

It was a stunning Saturday in February to kick off the Family Day weekend in South Bayview. Shoppers strolled the street and old friends embraced in — yes — 12 degree weather. The rest of the weekend also looks good as does the week ahead. Saturday’s sun and record-breaking mild temperatures had people — a few — wearing shorts. The high reached 12 C in Toronto, surpassing the old record of 10.8 in 2011. A high of 10 C is forecast for Sunday, a couple of degrees below the record of 12.5 C set in 1994. Check the full weather forecast here.
