IKR. Imagine the asbestos. And I especially love the hole in the floor and the radiator about to collapse through it. Kudos to the brave realtor who ventured forth to take these photos.

Maybe there won’t be a beer store after all?
Is The Beer Store finished? Sources say announcement coming soon that could end monopoly
Within the next month, the Ford government is expected to announce it’s not renewing the Master Framework Agreement, which prevents anyone but The Beer Store from selling beer by the case.

I thought that there was an Allan Gardens thread but didn’t see it. Anyways some really interesting stuff happening along Gerrard East. The women’s shelter is undoing a renovation by Hariri Pontarini(?). And with the Anishawbe buildings sold it will get better! Taken 1 April.

Saw this beside 350 Gerrard East to the west and wondered what was going on. Is it part of the renovation of the retirement home next door? There is a sign for an application but didn’t notice until I got home. Taken 1 April.

I absolutely would love to see the Esso station torn out and a 5 story condo with retail frontage put in its place. That gas station literally cuts pedestrian-wise Parliament in half, and the cars racing into the station make it dodgy at best. I almost never use this gas station for either my cars or motorcycle.
We can only hope that the below info from 2021 means that some developer now owns the land and is waiting for the right conditions to build.

Park Snacks on Winchester is up for sale.
Toronto's famous Park Snacks is for sale for $3 million
While most Torontonians might recognize 161 Winchester St. as the beloved Park Snacks known for it's delicious ice cream, hot dogs, burgers and fries…www.blogto.com
It has been listed for sale since last summer, and Park Snacks didn't open for the season at all this year.
I didn't buy much from Park Snacks, but I walk past it often, and really miss having it as part of the neighbourhood character.
I'd love to see someone buy the house and expand it into something like Riverdale Perk, though based on this article from The Star, it doesn't seem likely.

I guess there will always be overlapping of area classifications, especially at intersections. Google seems to consider the east side of Sherbourne onwards as Cabbagetown:

We should have one of those surveys like when they polled NYers on where neighbourhoods are:
