I noticed that according to street signs, Little Italy has stretched its boundaries eastward a bit - the signs for Markham and Palmerston now say "Little Italy" on them. Before the Little Italy BIA stretched from Euclid to Shaw, I think.
It's also weird how the neighborhood of Little Italy is historically and remains south of College, but for some reason when the city started coming up with larger-scale communities they pushed it northward to "Palmerston-Little Italy" (which is Palmerston, Bickford Park and the Concord-Delaware stretch) and south of College the combined Little Italy and Trinity Bellwoods neighborhoods became "Trinity Bellwoods."
Has anyone picked up a copy of or looked at the illustrated book about College Street?
