Hallam and Dovercourt
Originally uploaded by rfmcdpei

The intersection of Hallam Street and Dovercourt Road forms the heart of Dovercourt Village, a "[s]mall but energetic and community-conscious [neighbourhood that] extends along Dovercourt Road north and south from Hallam Street as well as east and west along Hallam. It boasts a concentration of small shops offering a variety of items, from taste-tempting baked goods to fashionable apparel." One of these shops that I've blogged about is Progress Bakery, visible towards the left of the photograph on the southwestern corner of the intersection. In the center of the photograph, behind the trees is one of the intersection's two corner stores.

This picture is fairly typical of west-end Toronto, though if the real estate advertisements for old homes and new townhouses in this neighbourhood means anything this may change.
