Bloor Street is a major urban artery, stretching from the western frontier with Mississauga all the way to the Don River in central Toronto. Way back when, before the massive growth of the 20th century, Bloor Street marked the northern frontier of the City of Toronto.
Ossington Avenue is a rather more nondescript street, a relatively minor note perhaps more notable for the more famous streets intersect it: There is the changing intersection of Dupont and Ossington, the Ossington TTC station and then just below that the Ossington Avenue Baptist Church at the intersection of Bloor, and a Toronto Life feature exploring its up-and-coming nature.
The first is taken near the Christie Pits park, and looks at the skyscrapers at the intersection of Bloor Street with Yonge.
The second photo is of a typical streetscape in that area, which hosts a visible Ethiopian and Eritrean restaurant and cafe community alongside those of Portuguese and other ethnic communities.
