Here are my weekly picks:
Forget the gold rush, California could be seeing a “green rush”. We’d like to bring you this story about how a cannabis company purchased an entire town with dreams of making it a Disneyland for dope smokers.
Sure, apartments over stores are commonplace, but entire houses and yards on a shopping mall? Here’s a list of awesome homes hidden in plain view.
It’s no secret Toronto loves itself and this building’s giant mural featuring Crane Girl and Dart Guy pays homage to all things that make the 6 legendary.
Well, these pizzas aren’t going to get delivered. A tractor trailer spilled its frozen pizza cargo all over an Arkansas highway, shutting down the busy roadway. This surely will cost the company a lot of dough.
Nothing says fire and fury like a man trying to set a wasp nest on fire to rid them from his home.
Nothing I can say about this promotion, other than it’s a solar eclipse of the heart. A Vancouver REALTOR®’s future is so bright, she’s handing out special shades for the upcoming total eclipse.
Sure, the solar eclipse will look cool, but how will people know it’s happening if people can’t Facebook it because the power goes out? The eclipse could block 9,000 megawatts of solar power.
This house has a murderous history, but it could be a hot ticket item for you muggles. Harry Potter’s childhood home (where Voldemort killed his parents) is on the market.
Move to your auntie’s and uncle’s in Bel-Air and live beside this house, the most expensive home in the U.S. right now, listed for a whopping $350 million.
It’s rare to see the NBA’s Golden State Warriors lose, but their star player, Stephen Curry, recently suffered a personal one. His Bay Area home sold for $700,000 less than asking.
The person who bought Donald Trump’s childhood home is now offering it up on Airbnb for $725 a night. It includes a life-size cutout of the Donald, “a great companion for watching Fox News…”
Red Green, prepare to have your mind blown: There is a tape stronger, dare we say better, than duct tape.
