Awesome. I've been to the District a couple of times, I love it. I'm glad Toronto decided to keep a small part of their industrial heritage intact. Hamilton could have learned a lot from it. International Harvester and the old Studebaker/Otis elevator warehouses/factories would have made an...

It is indeed a very unique retail sector. It doesn't have the same trendy theme to it as Queen West and it's not as high class as downtown. It's much more family oriented and has a more vintage feel to it. Mt. Pleasant really has the vintage feel to it, some of the stores close to Soudan have...
