New faces on Dundas West

There are some new faces cropping up on Dundas West. I will be posting pictures of these storefronts in the next few posts.

First there is the West Toronto Music store which is bringing some new life into a neglected strip of storefronts across from the Bakers Dozen at the corner of St. Johns and Dundas. It seems like a continuation of the stucco-fication of some of the old red-brick storefronts which originally started with the Bamboo Spa.

You know a neighbourhood is about to take off when a chain restaurant with a high cool-factor moves-in. The Friendly Thai is opening up right beside the Curry Twist at the intersection of High Park Avenue and Dundas. The decor looks very modern and clean, lets hope more of the same calibre restaurants move-in.

The old Kings and Queens who left us for Queen West has been replaced by a new tenant Forever Furniture.

Also, in the Gleaner the other day, I came across a project thats being planned along the railway corridor behind Dundas, a pathway that would run parallel to the railway lines and link the Junction to Downtown Toronto. A 6.5 Km long trail, this looks like an awesome idea, but the current plan calls for it to terminate at around Dupont and Dundas. Check out this website www.railpath.ca and write to the appropriate decision makers to see if we can extend it all the way to Scarlett.
