The Alexander the Great Parkette, located on the Danforth in the heart of Greektown, is a wonderfully landscaped parkette occupying a corner next to some restaurants. On a warm summer evening, it's a very nice place to hang out, one of the nice things to come of the heating up of the Macedonia naming dispute in the first half of the 1990s. (Most of the individual statues date from this time.)
