walkah: buh bye 'burbs
buh bye 'burbs
For those of you who hadn't heard: two weeks ago (on November 1st), I moved. I have finally said "so long" to the suburbs. If you're familiar with Toronto, I'm now living on Gladstone Ave, just north of Bloor (near Dovercourt Park). I have to admit, I'm pretty darn happy about it.
Despite having been on the road for 11 of my first 15 days in my new place, I feel like I'm already starting to settle in a bit. I've already met 4 neighbors, am walking distance from pretty much everything I need (including Rosie's convenience on the corner which just so happens to stock organic dairy and organic coffee!) and it turns out a handful of friends already live in the 'hood.
More soon I'm sure, but expect to see me around the city (and at the office) a whole lot more now!

Congrats! That's awesome and
Congrats! That's awesome and exciting...and a great hood. Lots of awesome Ethiopian food, and the Bloor Gladstone branch of the TPL is one of my favourites.
Thanks dory!
Yeah, there seems to be lots of great food in the area. I'll definitely check out the Bloor/Gladstone TPL branch - although it looks under construction... I can't tell if it's open :?
Ethiopian food
I love ethiopian food as well :)
Neighbours Soon!

Looks like we'll be neighbours soon! We're moving onto Northcote at the Queen end in mid-December. Meet you for an organic coffee :)

It's a date, Jay
Looking forward to it :)
Awesome!
I absolutely love Toronto, and have missed it since moving to Mississauga. I use to go to school where you now live! Very pretty area, lots of trees and parks and stuff. Congrats on the move! Now I just need to get my people to open up an office downtown. I'll be back in Toronto someday....
Welcome to the 'hood!
Hey James,
Great to hear you are in the neighbourhood! I'm on Shanly at Dovercourt, and walk my dog at Dovercourt Park all the time. I'll watch out for you and if you are around on Wed Dec 19th, please drop by our X-mas party here - I'll email you an invitation.

Organic Coffee
Toronto, and Ethiopian Food!
Oh, to live somewhere beautiful.
Granted, Fukuoka, Japan is exotic, but I'm ready for a change.
Congrats on your move, and it is a beautiful door.
I miss deli food, perhaps most of all.
Organic Coffee at convenience stores!
I'm into healthy coffees. That sounds great.
Love Canada!
Toronto's a great city.
I live about 45 minutes south of Vancouver. I've never tried the Ethiopian food here but if you're ever in this neck of the woods you've got to try the chinese food and the indian food! Sooooooo good!!!!
