Urban Shocker
Doyenne
Stranger things have happened, DSC.
Though it's still a 'destination' location that development in the rest of the city hasn't caught up with yet, I'm finding that the Distillery has become a more interesting visit and is evolving a distinctive character. I think that, after that first wave where several galleries and retail establishments tried to make a go of it but eventually left, things have found a good balance. The infusion of more residents has added another level of layering to the experience, as has the theatre. The restaurants and patios were packed last night. It's not as frantic as I thought it would be, the atmosphere is nicely relaxed. Once the east waterfront is built out with Pier 27 / Corus / George Brown / Sugar Beach/ Sherbourne Park etc. etc. it'll make for a lovely stroll - along the downtown waterfront to this place.
