Filled to the brim with wonderful shops, art studios, and specialty breweries. All of the shopkeepers that I encountered here were very friendly. There was such a wide variety of shops available that its hard to put it all into a review here. Some shops had the appeal of a quirky vintage, hodgepodge shop with little organization to their old school merchandise. Others were much more modern and focused on specific products or a variety of modern products.
In art galleries, the artists were more than happy to talk to me about their work. I loved all of the art that was displayed throughout the district. You do not have to walk into a gallery to experience the artwork that Toronto has to offer.
This district is also of historical significance to Toronto. All throughout the district and within the buildings there are signs and displays to inform visitors of this history. Within specific buildings, the signs may say what the building was originally used for and give more information on the processes that used to occur within those walls.
