In this hipster neighbourhood, I wouldn't be surprised if the final sign simply read "Sign to be Determined".

First time noticing this Tochal Indian drink and ice cream place at the SW corner of Dundas & Dovercourt. Seems like they've been around for about 5 months based on the count of Google reviews. Might check it out at some point.

Great concept, focus on sustainably sourcing fish from the Great Lakes.

Unfortunately, Lake Ontario doesn't really have a commercial fishery at this time, but Georgian Bay/Huron does and so does Erie; though that Lake, like Ontario has some pollution issues.

In time, it would be great to see sustainable, commercial catch in all of the Great Lakes. Its rather silly, expensive and ecologically problematic that we fly in so much seafood when the Great Lakes could naturally sustain an abundance if the Lakes were properly cared for, and there was no overfishing.

I wish that whole triangle at Dundas/Lansdowne/College would be cleared. It has nothing worth preserving, and it's the perfect spot for an iconic midrise flatiron.

Indeed. If only someone was able to assemble the entire block with the gas station and that row of older non-descript homes. Maybe Gairloch have this on their radar...or we can hope.
