Construction Sucks. Shop Roncy

Toronto Summer Shots, originally uploaded by rowdyman.

This has been a hot, hazy and frustrating summer in the 'hood. Our main street is ripped bare and dug up exposing a long trench of steel and infrastructure. You can only dream of the day that Roncesvalles will look anything like the planners renderings, showing happy shoppers wandering, nay gliding along a widened sidewalk boulevard as futuristic trams float silently by.

We're a long way from that vision and we can only hope the businesses that make the street worth living next to can survive long enough to see the day. To that end, I'll be picking up some cheese and cutlets on my way home tonight. Trenches by damned!
