This site is meant to introduce you to the Toronto that you do not see on postcards or calendars. There are communities in Toronto that do not receive recognition from the media, politicians or from people that do not live there. The Inner City has been established to introduce you to these neighbourhoods in and around Toronto and provide you with a perspective of the city that is more than the CN Tower and Yonge Street. The blog is changed everyday so be sure to check it out regularly.

Legendary McDonalds

Everyone knows this McDonalds. This is the one at Finch and Weston that stood proud over the valley. Now its direlect derelect along with the mall beside it. But the franchise did move down the street so all is not lost for the Mciddies loving people. But this is another sad image in this neighbourhood that has so much potential. Toronto's Official Plan and specific Secondary Plan calls for residential uses on this entire site that includes the abandoned mall. Commercial opportunities will also exist to make it more diverse and economically stable so it won't fall apart again. That is many years away but hopefully it will be for the better. {April 8th, 2006} O_x
