UER Forum > Archived Canada: Ontario > Junction area (Viewed 475 times) ZenCanadian  Location: High Park, Toronto Gender: Male  |  Junction area < on 5/19/2010 5:23 AM >   Hey, Was out for a wander last night and went by the old GE Davenport place. Not much left to see, although building #10 was pretty cool. Then headed home across Symington and discovered a squatters pad in an abandoned silo near Keele. Lots of places to check out still around here, glad I moved.

It's an interesting area. ZenCanadian  Location: High Park, Toronto Gender: Male  |  Re: Junction area <Reply # 2 on 5/19/2010 3:08 PM >   Definitely, have done a couple walks in the area now and love that Tower is so close by. Although I am thinking of heading out to the Kennedy before it's gone as well.

Also has some really nice little shops on that one stretch of road. I especially like that Beam place that restores pieces. ZenCanadian  Location: High Park, Toronto Gender: Male  |  Re: Junction area <Reply # 6 on 5/20/2010 4:45 AM >   Chairtex to be honest doesn't interest me although I have taken a couple exterior photos of it. Next venture out will be the Kennedy before it's gone. Won't have my camera though, just a phone for pics Zen and the art of infiltration... http://www.flikr.com/photos/zenslens Zen is an uber explorer, a demi god of craning and purveyor of the finer things in life.

Note that GE Davenport isn't in the Junction, since the neighbourhood doesn't extend east of Old Weston Road. Posted by Dresden Junction is good for exploring. Also has some really nice little shops on that one stretch of road. I especially like that Beam place that restores pieces. The retail on Dundas Street West has improved dramatically over the past decade. Annette is also a great major street in the area, with perhaps the highest density of churches in Toronto. St. Clair Avenue West is also seeing a transformation with the streetcar ROW project. The industrial areas still have their gritty feel with some decent to good locations to explore. There's even a drain. Rust  I am a rustbucket  |  Re: Junction area <Reply # 8 on 5/24/2010 9:01 PM >   Yeah I'm in the area as well, I love it. Definitely the coolest place to live in the city. PARKDALE_LOCAL  Location: Parkdale Gender: Male  |  Re: Junction area <Reply # 9 on 5/25/2010 3:31 AM >   just wait.... eventually all the interesting areas get trampled by condozilla. It happened to Liberty Village. What used to be abandoned factory land and the back end of an auto impound is now a starbucks next to a blockbuster. Hopefully the Junction stays interesting for a bit longer, but sooner or later, everything old will have to make way. Then what's left? Mimico and New Toronto? Hamilton? yeah... Hamilton has a long time to go before it gets converted. Hi/Po  Location: Earth Gender: Male  |  Re: Junction area <Reply # 10 on 5/26/2010 4:53 AM >   Redevelopment beats stagnation and decay. There will always be cool stuff to explore in Toronto.
