Toronto condos neighbourhoods: Bay Street

Posted Apr 18, 2008 @ 8:47 am, Viewed by 234 Visitors, Read 235 Times.

Bay Street has the same cache as Wall Street to a New Yorker. But staring down the avenue from its north end at Bloor Street, the vision is one of upright solid stone buildings set like standing grey dominos against the faded blue scalp of the sky.

But like Torontonians, the street changes as you get to know it.

 

Bloor Street, downtown Toronto’s main east-west strip divides most of the city’s 3 million residents into psychological east-siders or west-siders. Where Bloor meets Bay at its center, the credit cards come out to play. Here, expensive designer name shops like Tiffany’s cater to the Blackberry crowd. From here, Bay Street slices straight south to its buckle at Queen Street where two City Halls (the neo-Gothic “old” and 1970s “curved hands” one) rebound Bay Street slightly east and then south again past golden financial towers and finally Lake Ontario

I have visited a couple of Bay Street condos, you can read my impressions on my website, under Toronto condos. Please come back and tell me what you think of it!
