The block between Avenue Rd and Bedford Rd used to be a really eclectic stretch with the nice hotel, the almost-seedy set-back McDonald's, the "Bedford Ballroom" pool hall, the old Swiss Chalet, and various other eateries and businesses. It really felt like part of the university campus, sort of like an easterly outpost of Bloor & Spadina, but now it'll be an extension of Yorkville. The campus-vibe was good, but other than that old red pile at the corner at Bedford I won't miss any of the actual buildings once they're all gone.
