Is the old cinema still there around St. Clair & Vaughan? I think it was called the Vaughan, then it was called the Ritz in the early 80's and last I heard it was used as a TV studio
Then what's non-ugliness?
Even with the various ungainly conversions/replacements? Compared with the side streets, it *is* eyesoreish...Deer park and South Forest Hill are the epitomy of non-eyesore.
But a shadow of what it might have been a quarter century ago. At this point, it's more cosmopolitan/sophisticated further E t/w Bathurst...Corso Italia ain't bad either with it's cosmopolitan flavor.
Other than the underclass and psych patients wandering about, how is Parkdale "deplorable"? I'd imagine a lot of people finding it less terminal than Corso Italia at this point...The western part however is deplorable but no more so than some areas of downtown (Parkdale anyone?) and especially Scarborough I think he's being way too critical.

Please, the buildings are decrepit and filthy-looking. I'm all for preservation but have some of their owners every heard of a coat of paint?
Dentrobate, you are aware that Queen west of Dovercourt is the hottest development area in the city today?
Knowing you, you'd probably even prefer an industrial stucco job to the existing "decrepit and filthy-looking". Ah, these Sunday-painter urbanists strike again, rubes from Bloor West Village and whatnot...
That's only between Dovercourt and the Geogretown Line, from thereon it's a ghetto.
Ghetto?!?!?
You truly are an amateur hick from the sticks, aren't you...
It's got good bones. In fact, better bones than Corso Italia at this point...
Ah, who cares. Given your level of sophistication, you'd probably find this rehab preferrable to said old/decrepit/run-down
