Extra, Extra: Dance Around the City for Free, or Live Above It for $28 Million

By

Every weekday’s end, Extra, Extra collects just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.

  • The above video, dancedanceTO, is a love letter to Toronto made by Willa Bradshaw, Naseem Hrab, and Connie Tsang, with some help from their friends. The trio got inspired by a video called “Inspired by Iceland,” and decided to make their own fun, dancey tribute. Set to “Oh No, It’s Love” by the Bicycles, the video has scenes shot all around the city—including landmarks like Honest Ed’s, the Evergreen Brickworks, and Riverdale Farm.
  • Yesterday’s SlutWalk has been getting a lot of coverage, including from us, but we especially like this post over at Eye by Sarah Nicole Prickett, in which she talks to some SlutWalkers about their reasons for attending the event.
  • The Four Seasons Hotel and Residences, still under construction near Yonge and Bloor, are blazing some trails in the city’s real estate world. As reported by Urban Toronto, it’s the tallest building in that neighbourhood, though it will hand that title over to One Bloor in a few years’ time. And that height is translating into dollars: The top-floor, 9,038-square-foot penthouse suite at the top of the Menkes and Lifetime Developments project has sold for $28 million—more than $3,000 per square foot.
  • Mystery! The Toronto Star has a new social media policy, according to former Globe journalist Mathew Ingram—but what is it? All tweets must contain an lolcat link? Reporters must refrain from using FourSquare to check into meetings with anonymous sources? No more than 10 Farmville-related requests can be sent to editors on weekdays? We’re curious.

  • Finally, because you’ve been lying awake at night wondering (or worrying about?) when he’ll return, we bring you news that Tommy Wiseau—director of the so-bad-it’s-still-bad film The Room—is coming back to the Royal for three nights starting April 22. Wiseau will provide an introduction and participate in a Q&A with audience members at all five scheduled screenings of The Room.
