Bloordale Village
Bloordale Village might not have much name recognition today, but if the Bloor Improvement Association has anything to say about it this longtime down and out, crime-ridden 'hood will be on everyone's radar in no time. This neighbourhood which roughly comprises the stretch of pavement along Bloor between Dufferin and Lansdowne subway stations now has its own street festival but beyond that is best know for the tasty cheap eats than can be found at spots like Vena's, Pam's Roti and South Indian Dosa Mahal.

Toronto's Best In This 'HoodComments (2)
Bloordale is fast becoming the newest art district in Toronto with three new art galleries opening recently and hopefully more on the way. I'm happy to see a positive change in a neighbourhood that has been grief stricken with so much unnecessary negative publicity in the past. This is an area where the streets are filled with hardworking, friendly people with families. The area Is quickly revitalizing due to the many new art galleries, the new film studio and the newly constructed condominiums. An article worth reading in the National Post by Leah Sandals published on November 22, 2008 describes Bloordale Village "as well on its way to becoming gallery central". Honestly, I'm thrilled to see an area where I grew up and still frequently visit today becoming a trendy and notable area and I'm looking forward to seeing the changes.

Oh man this process is so predictable that I could have even predicted a message like Rose's. :P
