That park/ courtyard looks deserted, both in the shots above and when I passed by a few days ago around 6:30 pm. While there were no tents/ encampments, there were 3 individuals loitering on the benches, and one of them seemed to be upset at the other 2, yelling obscenities at them. All sorts of junks (I didn't want to look too closely) were on and around one of the benches. No security guard was visible.

Welcome to the neighbourhood. What you're describing is pretty par for the course within the area.
 
That area has always been rough, so no surprise there. The surprise is people willing to pay upwards of $3k per month for a one bedroom to live there.
it takes time but i think this is going to be a really pleasant place to be in a few years. mutual and church both have so much density and there is a cool mix of old and new.

I hope so too! There's a lot of older building stock in the East end that I hope can blend in with the newer buildings, as you've mentioned. Some good opportunity for cool re-use.
 
Regarding the Pawsitive Vibes sign, it is unfortunate that Rumble, a far-right YouTube alternative, is now selling its own dog food brand called Pawsitive:
There are only two types of dog food: crap ones (lots of fillers including ingredient splitting, non-animal proteins) and good ones (protein from animal sources, chelated vitamins/minerals, natural preservatives). There are no "super good" ones, everything after the good level is just VC/PE-driven marketing and fear-based, guilt-provoking spin. Often on these supposed super premium or niche brands you'll see claims that a veterinarian helped develop the food - which is BS, as no veterinary program in North America teaches nutrition beyond what Nestle (Purina), Mars (Royal Canin) or Colgate (Science Diet) tells them - and that's focused on the business of selling food. Pet food development is the realm of animal science and nutrition specialists, not vets. Imagine asking your family doctor to help you make a salad dressing.
