Who: Amanda Newman, 30, artist wrangler for Sonic Boom Music (512 Bloor W., 416-532-0334) — she is planning future in-store performances with Chad VanGaalen and Quest for Fire; check www.sonicboommusic.com for details as they develop — and Kieran Adams, 28, drummer for folks like Andre Ethier and Sarah Harmer as well as for his own band, Everything All the Time.
What: A 1,200-square-foot three-bedroom apartment in Parkdale, where Newman has lived for five years. (Adams joined her in March.)
Newman’s favourite feature in her place is the working fireplace (“it’s sooo cozy in the winter!”) and she appreciates the excellent mixed-use quality of her neighbourhood. “I love being close to the lake, antique stores and Roncesvalles,” she says. “Parkdale is totally a city within the city.”
