JP...you seem to be in the know about this. Maybe you can clarify...? I was walking my dogs past there today, but I couldn't figure out which side you'd be viewing from. I thought the platform would be set back so that you could step into the square from the Dundas St. sidewalk but it looks...

That's great news. I'm guessing by the name it will be raw food. If you've ever eaten at "Live" on Dupont then it's something to look forward to. Can't wait to try it out. Wow...I think The Junction will be known as The Organic Junction.

I can't wait to see the pics. I'm not familiar with the area, but now I'm most curious.

It is a poorly sited tree that would be "rubbing up against your roof shingles." That's the whole point of the free site inspection, to determine if you have a suitable location and if there is adequate space. Planting a tree on your property is not unlike having a child. There is the...

Karnipa, if, as you state, you've been patient and willing to spend hours on the internet searching for information to no avail, and in the meantime individuals on here have gone to the trouble of getting some answers for you on their own time in such a short space of time since your original...

There are six varieties of native tree available. The type of tree selected will be dependent upon the site inspection which will determine which tree will do best in the location. With the exception of the White Pine, which is an evergreen, the rest are deciduous (meaning they will lose their...

What adds insult to injury with this particular school pool closure is the bare-faced lie fed to local residents of Carleton Village at a community meeting held by the TDSB after the sale of the Davenport/Osler school property was finalized, telling us that the pool at the open school would be...

I don't understand what the TDSB (or the TCDSB for that matter) are doing with public money. They just sold school property deemed surplus on my block to the Toronto Police Service for the new 11 division HQ for almost $9 million and another property that will be the new home for 14 division...

I'm not sure if I've picked the right spot for this, so if the powers that be on this forum think there's a more appropriate thread, then by all means move it...:) I volunteer with a non-profit organization "Green Here" which has received funding enabling them to offer a free native tree to...

West Toronto Railpath This info was contained in the current Ward18 newsLetter: West Toronto Railpath Park Begins Construction this Spring: The City of Toronto has approved the construction of a railpath park trail which is approximately 2.1 kilometres long, running from the Cariboo...

I live just east of NRI and from time to time the odour can be bothersome. In my experience it's not constant, and seems to be worse in the autumn for some reason when the odour has hung around for a few days at a time. When that happens it's noticeable outdoors but not indoors. My house very...

JP...I remembered reading this article in the Toronto Star a while back. I think it's the same set of abandoned homes you're referring to (I know which you mean). http://www.thestar.com/News/GTA/article/249076

No, Cool Hand isn't closing, if anything they will be expanding their hours come spring. I think it worked out for all concerned for The Gathering Space to make use of the location as business for the cafe was much quieter during the winter.:D

Hi JP...here's an update. I don't know if they've found another home yet, but they are continuing with the project "Hi folks, Happy Spring Equinox! April is our last month of programming in the Cool Hand of a Girl cafe; and although it is the end of our time there, it is just the...

The Gathering Space The Gathering Space has issued their April events calendar which I wanted to upload but the pdf is a little over the maximum allowed, which is too bad as it contained a lot of information. Lots to do with something for everyone. Many folks will have no doubt run into the...

Alli's Bakery I know most of the news in the Junction thread has been about new retail on the Dundas strip, but you might be interested to know that Alli's Bakery (she sells her yummy bread and baked goods at St. Lawrence Market, Dufferin Grove Farmers Market, Riverdale Farmers Market) recently...

The Junction Centennial Celebrations 1908-2008 I thought this was neat. http://www.thejunctioncity.com/

I actually live opposite the school and my local RA, Carleton Village Residents Association (CVRA) was up in arms about this move, but it was a done deal before we could even blow hot air. For the most part it happened so quickly that it fell under the media radar, though I should add, this neck...
