RiversideRiverside, formerly known as Queen-Broadview Village, is often now lumped together with burgeoning Leslieville, despite the efforts of the local BIA to give it its own identity. Ground zero to the Spring's first major outdoor art festival - The Riverdale Art Walk - Riverside is also home to some of Toronto's best burgers, cafes and furniture stores. The Opera House, a live music venue that retains its charm from its former life as Vaudeville theatre, and the Mac-fanboy destination Carbon Computing are two of its most recognizable residents.

Riverside artists Andr? Fauteux and Carol Sutton lived in the historic building on the corner of 2 Boulton Avenue and 792 Queen Street East, called the "Poulton Block", originally built as "Orient Hall", a Freemasons lodge, built in Toronto in 1885, by the architects Kennedy, Gaviller & Holland, at the NW corner of 792 Queen Street East and 2 Boulton Avenue. This building was adopted by City Council on Dec. 10, 1975, as an Historic Architecture building of Toronto history.

Does anyone know whether or not another business has assumed the lease of that funeral home that recently vacated the premises?

Likewise, I heard rumors that a grocery chain was considering setting up shop in Riverside. Is there any truth to this?

I heard a definitive 'yes' that Jilly's had been sold - bought in December to be used as office space? Anyone know for sure?
