Thanks you 2...I love this part of the city. A cousin of my fathers' and her husband raised 12 kids in one of these old Victorians. I use to love going there..There also use to be a zoo in the neighbourhood that is now a farm. back then the people were for the most part East Euros, now there is a real mix from young canuck families with little kids, wealthy single adults, and a large gay community...still with a sprinkling of the old babushkas...
