 Hidden Shopping Haven |
Bayview Avenue (between Davisville Ave and Eglinton Ave) Toronto, ON Canada |
Aging buildings are getting a face lift with the inclusion of trendy stores! Bayview is tucked away from the rest of Toronto since it's harder to reach because the TTC doesn't run there. Because of this, locals rarely leave the Bayview area and prefer to shop here. So up springs a street filled with enviably cool clothing, chic housewares and unconventional finds. Make sure to head down to South Bayview and check out the Brickworks. Bayview is too good to miss! - Marie Ann Nicola Review © 2007, Wcities |
