Huge fire on Mc Murray thankfully no one was hurt

Some the homes residents are on the Junctioneers veranda now.

Sad one of nicest multiple resident buildings in the area

Wish them all a quick return.

yes I am a bit giddy about this, I grew up in The Junction with cows walking down Dundas St West, an the ability to walk up to the stockyards and pet cow, pigs and goats. 

This is one great real Canadian project.

By the subway

Ever eat out - just too much - well this blog author does.

While me and my family more than regularly attend the local Junction restaurants, there quite a few wonderful places to try just out of the Junction and around the corner... Say the intersection of Annette St. And Runnymede Ave.

Yet pictured here is delightfully colorful place just beside the Dundas St. west subway. That's all to easy to miss.
