What Toronto street is this?

[Filip]

Queen st, just east of Ossington. You can see the Mental Institute.

 

[urbandreamer]

correct! I love the dog.

One of my favourite Toronto buildings is up for sale--who wants to buy it and turn it into a funky cafe?--on the right. What hipster spot is located at this intersection of what streets?

I think that's Dundas in the Junction, but I can't be sure what intersection.. Quebec maybe?

Those new lamps are an instant give away... Remember what a mess of overhead wires and transformers this area used to be?

 

[urbandreamer]

Very quick Filip! Interesting that you used to live in my nabe....

The "handyman special" shop is at the corner of Quebec Avenue and Dundas St West in the Junction--opposite the super cool Crema Coffee hotspot (check it out on weekends--madness.)


Another interesting part of Toronto:

Ossington just south of Dundas.. you can see the St. Christopher's House where I used to tutor kids years ago.

 

[urbandreamer]

Wow. Indeed correct. Here are some more photos of Ossington Avenue.

Mid-August 2008, gallery opening at night. (Just north of Queen St W, west side.)

Near my Ossington hangout, ideal coffee--looking southwest from the corner of Halton St&Ossington Av:

(Am away from my "office" at the moment, sorry for the repetition....)

More photos tomorrow....

 

[Filip]

I'm done now

I have no clue where the last one is, could be anywhere with hipster galleries.

Urbandreamer: interesting series of photos. Suggestion: leave each one up a bit longer before supplying the answer; it would give more people a chance to test their knowledge.

You do indeed seem to have quite a supply of streetscape views!

3077 Dundas St W List: $849,000 For Sale

Not bad!

 

[urbandreamer]

Yeah, that's a nice building, I'd rather own it than an $850k condo downtown....

The other day, 16 January 2009, found me staring at this nice kirk, where?

 

[ShonTron]

That's on Dupont Street at Edwin. It took me a second guess because the traffic lights are new (used to be a crosswalk).

 

[urbandreamer]

Indeed it is. Nice church, gotta go inside it some day.... This stretch should be trendier someday, imho....a perfect spot for more artists/galleries.

Sunday, 18 January 2009 found me on this street, at a Toronto "institution." Guess what ud was doing, just out of range in this photo (to the right.)?!

 

[MrR]

Yeah, that's a nice building, I'd rather own it than an $850k condo downtown....

Does it have enough room for a patio?

 

[urbandreamer]

Yeah. Check with the city first though--they gave Crema Coffee across the street a hard time--I think they gave up on a patio (too many nimbies?)

Hint on my latest photo: It's in Adam Vaughan's ward.

I'm tempted to say Beverly, but I think that's wrong.
