Extra, Extra: The Fodder, the Sun, and the Holy Penthouse
Every weekday’s end, Extra, Extra collects just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.
- Let us pray. Because surely there’s someone out (up?) there to thank for Suite 303 at 384 Sunnyside Avenue. That’s the penthouse in the Abbey Lofts building, a converted Methodist (and then United, and then Evangelical) church. It’s $1.5 million, and incredible. We’ll take it.
- From photographer Sam Javanrouh (who contributes to Torontoist), a “Toronto life cycle in 60 seconds”—a neat little video of Yonge-Dundas Square, the surprise of which we don’t want to ruin.
- “How to re-create TTC chime sound using Thor synthesizer (Reason 5.0),” in a seven and a half–minute long video? Glad you asked.
- See if you can spot what’s funny about this Sue-Ann Levy Sun column. Here’s a big hint.
- And today is the first day of The Guy At Home In His Underwear, in which a man spends twenty-five straight days in his underwear, at home—recorded for and streamed live to the internet—to raise awareness for testicular cancer. Rarely has a less noble thing been done for such a noble cause.
