Does anyone think that Front west, West of Spadina has the potential to turn into a nice little neighbourhood?

[Devil_Dice]

I think so, if they get a little bit of non-harley davidson retail in the area. I walked through a little street with century row houses on either side and was blown away by how nice the area looked. If they could get a couple of coffee shops/neighbourhood establishments I could see that becoming a nice little neighbourhood.

The slaughterhouse needs to go first. This whole area smells horrible depending on when you're there.
