Spring is in the Air - Really!!

Alright… I'm probably being overly optimistic, but those of you who know me know that I tend to lean towards the shiny side. Plus, the official start date of spring really isn't that far away!
I'm excited to be starting this blog and am glad you've stopped by to read! I hope you enjoy.
I think giving the studio the name "Chang'e" was prescient. It's named after the Chinese moon goddess, but we pronounce it change, as in to transform or convert. And there is always transformation going on… Continue

Sophie a Delightful Surprise

Well, it's Day 5 of my Staycation-in-Leslieville, and today I decided to do take-out lunch from Sophie. This is a new-ish little cafe/bistro at the corner of Logan and Queen. My great fortune was to have chosen one of the specialty quiches - roasted red pepper with goat cheese - with an accompanying salad. Must say, the quiche was delicious and fresh - rich (but light at the same time - how can that be??) a piquant blend of sweet and savory on a superb crust - flaky, and not salty. Side salad wa… Continue

930 Queen East. Full scale gutting for.... what?

Hello all. I was picking up some beans at Mercury last night when we noticed the space at 930 Queen St E was gutted and stripped down to the studs. Seriously, there were only beams on the ground floor and you could see into the basement. Anyone know what this is being turned into? Continue

Weston bakery to be closed?

Looks like the much-loved neighbourhood institution the Weston bakery at Eastern and Logan will be closed (see paragraph 55, below) .

Any bets on how soon condos / townhouses spring up at that location?

A funny little history...

So, after six months in my little flat in Leslieville, I have become increasingly aware of the previous tennants. Aparently, ours was a house well known as a crack den and brothel- which I assumed explained the dirty hand prints all over the walls when we moved in. Alas, a friendly (though infinitely scary) neighbour did tell me all about the source of those handprints just yesterday: after the drug squads had raided, the crack dealers moved out, and the prossies stopped turning tricks, he and h… Continue
