The other evening found me scurrying along ____ wondering if it's as sketchy as some say it is?

Raglan, looking south to St Clair.

A narrow little street here that I love:

While there are a handful of lower rent apartments in the immediate area, I would say the more 'sketchy' part is well off to the northwest around Vaughan and Oakwood.

First hint: street is looking towards a street I recently posted/someone I.D-ed.

Second hint: Photo is looking towards Ossington Av.

 

[Peepers]

Humbert Street !

 

[urbandreamer]

Yes! Approaching Brookfield St with Ossington bookending it, and a public school on the left.

Next: What used to be manufactured here?

 

[gimbal]

Textiles? (1001 Roselawn Ave)

 

[Anna]

Thread and yarn.

 

[Mustapha]

There's still 'Beehive' stone logos in a few places on that building.. the registered trademark of the Patons yarn company that built it.

Linuxcaffe... NE corner of Harbord and Grace.

Looks like a miniature Land Rover. Rust is starting in the wheelwell. Nice pic.

 

[urbandreamer]

^Thanks. Yes, Linux Caffe is the place to go if you're in the area craving some Ideal Coffee.

...which reminds me, one of the best streets to grab a bite to eat in Toronto?

Harbord?
I miss Kensington Kitchen. I tried Tati a couple of weeks ago, but it was nothing special and a tad overpriced. Excellent cocktails, however.
