real estate agent: Drinking Beer on the Move
- 02/24/11 02:33 AM
Could this be the end of the beer tents and gardens at festivals in Ontario. The Ontario government will be hosting public discussions on removing barriers in public places when consuming beer. Street festival like The Taste of Danforth, will be impacted too, you could sip your beer down the Danforth as you take in the street atmosphere and food. This will have a direct hit on restaurants and bars, some people will more than likely bring their own alcoholic beverages. This takes me to another festival, Caribana. I've heard this organization raise much needed funds through sponsorships via beer tents … (3 comments)

I have seen such dire need in Parkdale amid all the buzz of an up and coming hip neighborhood, newly renovated Edwardian mansions amongst fancy restaurants. At the top of Queen St. West and Dowling Ave., there are a group of people that run a local drop in community centre for residents in the area, Parkdale Activity Recreation Centre. Most of these people are survivors of the psychiatric system. They live in numerous rooming and boarding houses Parkdale was known for, these folks have little support systems, low income and few family ties, usually with no place to be during the … (0 comments)

I live in such a diverse city, Toronto. I'm particularly fond of Parkdale, this neighborhood is on the cusp of gentrification.

In Parkdale, there are a few shops that have been here for a long time and are the staples of our hood. In this case, I'm talking about Ali's … (5 comments)

real estate agent: For cat lovers
- 09/02/10 11:44 AM
I want you meet my cat Jameson, he is the most talkative little cat I know. His voice is not your typical meow. Its hard to explain. We found him in the neighbourhood a few years ago, in the dead of winter wandering around and in distress. We named him Jameson, the name of a street in Parkdale. He is the most lovable black cat. He is a cat that has his rituals and he follows them everyday, is it instincts? Every day when Jim comes home from work he is around and waiting for him, just hanging around. He knows … (5 comments)
