Hey guys,
I'm a 2nd generation Greek living at Pape and Floyd (stereotypical I know). I'm glad a thread finally got started for the East York area.
Anyway, I can tell you that lately there has been a new wave of Greeks coming into the area. As a result, It seems that Pape slowly is turning into Greektown 2.0. Along with places such as Greek Grill and Folia Grill, shops such as El Greco and Tsatziki have opened. A new Greek restaurant is also opening soon at the corner of Pape and Westwood.
I have envisioned Pape lined with mid-rise developments but I also don't want to lose the vibe of the area.
Question,
There is (finally) a development proposal for the south-east corner of Pape and O'Connor which has been an empty lot since I was a kid. How long has it been empty for? What was there before? and does anyone have pictures of that corner?
