The party winds down for Toronto’s Entertainment District
In its heyday, the Entertainment District packed some 90 clubs and bars into an area about one third the size of High Park. Now, about 30 remain in the quadrant bound by Simcoe, Spadina, Queen and Wellington. The systematic taming of the Entertainment District continues, as residential towers rise, strollers come out and different amenities move in. Fez Batik is now a city shelter; a daycare operates out of what used to be Inside; and Aspen Ridge Homes is building two towers and OCAD gallery space on the lot where Money used to draw crowds. The number of people living in the area has swelled, from just 600 in the 1990s, to about 10,000 now. (Photo: Robillard for National Post)
