Dundas & Mutual. East end dive bar, Mounties. Probably so named because RCMP HQ used to be around the corner on Jarvis where the Grand Hotel is now. Gentrification is slowly killing off Toronto's remaining dive bars and there are websites dedicated to rating and celebrating them when you want a really dirty night out.

King East near Sherbourne. I think that new building fits in well. Lets hope they restore some of the old stuff.

Roncesvalles. What was probably once an attractive early 20th century apt. building, now covered in aluminum siding. There oughta be a law.
