Get to know Riverside | Dirt.
Whatever you do, don’t call it Leslieville. It’s Riverside. Spanning 10 blocks along Queen Street East from the Don Valley Parkway to Degrassi Street, this part of town often gets rolled up into the hyped Leslieville neighbourhood.

I Share, Therefore I Am
“To share” means “to use, occupy or enjoy something jointly with others.” And in many ways, it occurs to me, when a person first makes a move to share an anecdote or a link or an idea or even something wonderful (or terrible) they’ve done on Facebook or Twitter, the intention includes some element of what I was teaching my child last weekend: that many things in life can be savored even more when shared with someone else. But the thing is, sharing on social media is never just about the pure act of sharing — there are so many other factors that go into it, from the construction of one’s self-image to self-promotion and the endless need to be validated by anyone other than ourselves. I’d even go so far as to argue that the true definition of sharing has lately been subsumed by that of social media-driven “sharing.”
