As a counter-point to some of the rougher, iconic film characters he has portrayed over a nearly 50-year film career, notably Rocky Balboa and John Rambo, the softer artistic side of Sylvester Stallone is seen through his paintings. Those are displayed in galleries and museums around the world. Stallone also has an impeccable taste in terms of architecture and interior decor. And they are on full display with the sale of his golf club home in La Quinta, CA.

I am a 50-something Torontonian who loves everything about my city. It’s been my home, my playground, for my entire life. I went to school here. I met my wife here. I own real estate here. I love writing about the transformation of my city on the world stage, which hasn’t been anything short of dramatic. That continues on, as I write this. I write on the real estate scene. I write on travel and fashion. I like following the world of luxury watches.
But I love writing about cars – check that, luxury cars, a level of superior, engineering sophistication, high performance and style, that transports you not just from one destination to another but also out of whatever you are going through on a particular day, whatever mood you are in, all to another head space. It’s complete and total exhilaration, head to toe.
