The Junction

The Beet (operating inside The Passenger, corner Pacific/Dundas) will have its last day this Saturday, February 28. They're still looking for a new location...I guess that means the condo project going up on the corner is finally going to be underway?

Well the rest of the businesses along that block have already vacated...

There's a space right to the west of Indie Ale House that's gone unleased for probably a decade or more - the Beet could go there. Or into the old Sweet Potato location.

The Starbucks at the corner of Dundas and Quebec tried to renew their lease recently, but the landlord chose not to - instead, a pot shop will be opening in that prime space.

Disgusting.

That's odd. But I never went to Starbucks anyway. The area has too many great independent businesses like Claudia's Coffee across the street to care about a big American chain in the midst of abandoning walkable city locations in favour of suburban drive-through locations.

I agree. I lament the loss of what had become a cozy community space on an awesome corner location, not that it was a corporate chain. A prime spot like that should not be a pot shop.
 

StreetARToronto (StART) Runnymede Underpass- Community Feedback​


We are excited to announce that mural artwork will be coming to your neighbourhood! Three (3) artists (Adrian Hayles, Anya Mielniczek & Gosia Komorski) have been shortlisted to create a mural on the Runnymede Road Underpass (south of St. Clair Ave W) and the south-facing wall of Junction Place located at 731 Runnymede Rd. An Advisory Panel of local community members have come up with themes and the art call that each of the shortlisted artists have responded to, and one of these concepts will be selected to be painted in the Fall of 2021.

Please click here to view each of the proposals and to provide feedback.

The survey closes at 11:55pm on Sunday August 1, 2021.

Just north of the main Junction area, but looks like Cawthra Ave could be the new Geary in the West End. ;)

This under the radar Toronto street is suddenly packed with the most interesting places

You may not know it, but a certain industrial strip in Toronto is actually packed with hidden gems, making it a semi-secret destination for booze, ...

I also think of nearby Pelham Ave. as a "mini Geary", as in having some industrial/commercial buildings backing on to the same tracks. But not bursting with hip businesses (yet?).
