What Toronto street is this?

[taal]

2449 Yonge St, at Erskine. The sidewalks look like crap, and many stores are vacant/closing. For a few years, maybe from 2004-2008, the area was hopping. Sad to see the more condos you build doesn't solve every problem...like a retail recession.

The sidewalks have nothing to do with anything ... you can thank the city for that.

Very few stores in that area are vacant for your information. If you go farther north you'll find some.

^Well duh, obviously the sidewalks have nothing to do with the BIA there. However, I believe the reason the garbage can is on its side there is because the sidewalks and sewers are being redone.... Yeah, from Erskine northwards, as the pedestrian traffic thins, the number of store vacancies increases.

Taste of Little Italy on College. Diplomatico's should be back and to your left (can't remember the cross streets).

Yeah, around College and Clinton.

^Oh my, you're good adma! Luna Cafe, SE corner of Dovercourt Rd and Argyle, just beyond the lofts here:

Where did I spy this c.1979 Jeep J10 hardtop? I'd love to own one again.

 

[adma]

Bathurst just north of College? (Is that the seniors home with the old church tower on the left?)

 

[urbandreamer]

^Of course. Adma knows where this bottleneck can be found--hurry UT-ites, or UEr's, and check out the old bridge footings on display:

 

[Peepers]

this is Bathurst just north of Dupont

 

[urbandreamer]

Yeah, that Bathurst construction is annoying.
