I grew up in Parkdale (King/Dufferin area) and it wasn't as bad as people think it was. Moved out west for 15 years and moved back to the same street I was raised on :) I also work in the general area, too!

Parkdale has a unique vibe. I remember it as a kid visiting 🙂

Well, well. That was a nice stroll down memory lane. We definitely contributed to the "grit" of Parkdale in the 1980s. I'm trying to figure out where the donut shop was on the north side of Queen near Jameson. Some well-known politicians used to come into town and "do business" with us there. Before they were politicians of course.

I lived in Parkdale in the mid 80's, first foray out of the parental home. It was very gritty, the best years of my life. Jameson south of King was Murder City. Both Bacchus Roti and Dirty Dick's Juice Bar closed.

Ah Parkdale, RIP Grand Electric and Cadillac Lounge. The Dufferin bus seems rather empty,
