In the same manner as last week, we say goodbye to one while welcoming another. Get ready for The Scullery, opening soon at 200 Carlton Street. Undoubtedly, this bake shop will be a …

We had published about a great tour that was taking place on August 7, 2010 which was organized by Heritage Toronto and Cabbagetown Preservation Association.  I’m happy to present a small video showcasing what we saw.  I couldn’t video record it all and you would have to come down to one to attend and see it in person.  A great time! A big thank you to all that came especially Dustin, Robin and their little boy! Heritage Toronto – www.heritagetoronto.org Cabbagetown Preservaton Association – www.cabbagetownpa.ca
