I joined about a month ago. Haven't been on lately, but I found it to be a pretty clean and minimalistic interface. Posts seem to be pretty art inspired as well. A nice change from Facebook, which is seeming quite bloated these days.
Agree with your MacPherson pick! I recently only discovered this street after living here my whole life. It's one of those streets that is a hidden gem in the city. Windy/hilly roads lined with beautiful homes.
