If you painted the house on the north side of the lane a bright, cheery colour, and slightly narrowed the street, re-did it with interlock, and used elegant railings, you could make it feel very San Fran..........

So this long neglected building is about to spring back to life as a café with patio. At the emerging intersection of Landsdowne and Dundas. Taken 18 June.

Let's hope that for once something sticks at that location - all other attempts folded quickly.

Same as the craft brewery space across the street, it's tough to get people to make their way to these "end of the strip" sites. Something needs to be really good to entice them to be there in order for these businesses to have longevity.

Newish café/barber/retail enterprise on Dundas West just west of Ossington. Definitely not cozy but fresh, bright and happy as befits its’ clientele. Taken 13 July.

1596 Dundas West starting construction. Will look for rendering as this is a large multiplex. Also the high turnover building at Dundas/Landsdowne now has a patio. Nice laneway project that has been incrementally worked on over 15 years. Some random shots of one of my favourite neighbourhoods. Taken 23 August.
