Houston we have a BIA

Today on the way to the subway we noticed some signs for our stretch of the Danforth's new business improvement area (BIA). We are officially near the Danforth Mosaic BIA. It's good to see the neighborhood making progress. Hopefully this BIA will help improve our stretch of the street.

Some more neighborhood research.

It's been a while since we blogged. We're busy packing up and getting ready for the big move. While procrastinating on packing we've managed to find some more online resources for our neighborhood.

History Lesson

Being from a part of the country where most neighborhoods are fairly new, we've been quite interested in the history of our neighborhood in Toronto. In our searching we found some good resources at the City of Toronto Archives. Below are some pictures we found of houses from the 1960s and a stretch of Danforth from 1925. It's interesting how much things have changed over the years.
