The area of Eglinton between Oakwood and Marlee at one point produced more reggae music than anywhere else outside of Kingston, Jamaica.
The Five Points neighbourhood (aka the intersection of Oakwood, Vaughan, and Belvidere) is mainly Caribbean now, but before, it was mainly Italian and Portuguese (with some Brazilian).
The Jewish and the African Canadian communities at Dundas and Spadina very much moved out and the Chinese replaced them.
Yup, the Jewish community was pretty much gone from that area by the 1960s. There is still a Black church however in the area and there's still a large Black community in Alexandra Park.
