This is the only neighbourhood in Toronto that is pretty much the same as it was in the late 1960's. The best coffee shop in the city, Ozzy, the best vintage clothing shop is Shony's for leather and wool sweaters. The best assortment of vintage clothing shops with unbelievable prices. Exceptional atmosphere all year round, amazing people watching. However.....in the past year there is a disturbing encroachment of trendy, hip bistros working their way from College Street going south and skateboard and hemp shops....The end is nigh for this area, slightly scruffy and unorganized, enjoy it before it's gone, this is the heart of old Toronto, the way it used to be. They need more bike racks in the summer.
