This morning blogTO did a post on how to spend a day in the Junction neighborhood of Toronto.
I love the Junction. I’m planning to move to the Junction. And we have a development project in the area called Junction House. So know that I am entirely biased when I talk about this neighborhood.
A couple of my favorite places from blogTO’s list include Mjolk (Scandinavian interior design), Gerhard Supply (menswear), Playa Cabana Cantina (tacos and tequila), and Indie Alehouse (brewpub).
One spot that wasn’t on the list is the Italian restaurant, Nodo. Big fan of this place. Great pastas. Great negronorum. Yes, the plural of negroni is allegedly negronorum.
One of the big game changers for the Junction – besides the reintroduction of alcohol in 1997 – is the Union Pearson Express train.
Many people only think of it as civilized airport travel. But it also provides an incredible inner city service. It shows you the potential of Regional Express Rail in this region. We need more of this.
We’ll be providing an update on Junction House very soon and I’ll be sure to blog it. So stay tuned.
Okay, last Toronto-centric post for the week. We are back to regular scheduled programming tomorrow.
Later this month, Councillor Gord Perks will be hosting a community meeting for Junction House (see conceptual rendering above).
You can find all of the details, here, on the Globizen blog. But pop it into your calendars: Tuesday, November 21, 2017 from 7 to 9pm.
Even if you can’t attend, definitely weigh in on the rooftop public art component over in the comments on the Globizen blog.
I hope to see you all there. It’s always nice when happy people come out.
