ReplyDeleteHarsh.
And to think I was thinking of moving to Leslieville.
I admit, it's a little harsh. People I know who live in Leslieville will defend the neighbourhood passionately. All I can say is that it's a place that seems ideal for poorly-conceived restaurants, yet has not one bookstore in sight. It's "eclecticism" drives me insane.

ReplyDeleteHarsh indeed! It's my favourite spot in TO for brunching, dining and meandering around...
ReplyDeleteIf I buy in the next ten years it'll be in Leslieville - the streetcar, proximity to downtown and pricing is so choice.
Degrassi Street is in Leslieville.
ReplyDeleteGeorge Leslie would be rolling over in his grave if he read your blog.
Ps. leblack sounds like a very reasonable, informed, and sophisticated fellow.
Pps. Bookstores are overrated.
Ppps. Kubo Radio, Toast, Bonjour Brioche, Edward Levesque, Joy Bistro, Gio's, Mercury, Leslieville Cheese Store, India Bazaar on Gerrard. 'Nuff said.
Keep it coming...I'm unrepentant. Say hi to Katsy, Alan.
