In the meantime a number of other Ossington businesses have joined the twittersphere and the community, Ossington Village blog included.

The community has grown.

Back in the early days, it was PizzaLibretto who was on Twitter. And they still tempt us with their daily specials, as well as their community interactions.

Delux lets us know the changes in their menu and new offerings:

Lab Consignment, out of Silver Falls Vintage, lets us know the celebs that are haunting their locale.

The ever-delightful Cindiloowho helps promote other businesses in the area, in this case @chefRoccoTO, of Pizza Libretto is opening Enoteca Sociale next week.

Our favourite tequila joint on Ossington helps out their neighbour at 134 by tweeting their next exhibits.

We do have to give some honorable mentions to neighbourhood locals and entertaining tweeters @whetmyappitite and @modernmod who keep us entertained and informed.

And let us know if there are other twitterers on Ossington, and of course, keep an eye on @OssingtonVil to keep up to date with us.

First up, Our House has generated some positive press for it’s feel-good vibe, laid back staff, and fun menu.  It may be the press, but the place does seem to be drawing some healthy crowds on the weekends.

Bohmer, which opened a few months ago, is ready for it’s reviews! Everybody loves the space and some like the food too.

So maybe Pizza Libretto started a trend! Another restaurant has opened for lunch on Ossington, and Delux gets a thumbs up!

Finally, blog.to has it’s patio guide of just our hood (and a little bit further east) including the newly-opened patio behind Foxley!

What’s your business?
How is your business unique?
How long have you been in business here?

YogaSpace is an established Toronto Yoga studio in it’s 15th year (on the Ossington strip for 6 years).  We offer a wide variety of Yoga classes on an extensive drop-in schedule.  We also offer specialty pre-registered classes and workshops including monthly Introduction to Yoga and Therapeutic Yoga workshops.  We lead two teacher training programs anually and host workshops featuring internationally
renowned  Yoga Teachers.  Our senior teachers lead Yoga retreats annually both locally and abroad.  We are also home to a clinical team who offer integrated therapeutics including registered massage therapy, shiatsu, acupuncture, naturopathy, osteopathy, lifestyle coaching and thai massage.

We are a community made up of people from all walks of life who come together to enjoy the beauty and serenity of the space,  the attentive, down to earth and friendly manner of our staff, and our strong teaching team.  YogaSpace offers something for everyone.  We see Yoga as a therapeutic tool that can
become a foundation for health.  While  some people come to the studio for exercise or to tone, strengthen and increase flexibility, others are working to overcome challenges such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, stress and low energy.  Whether you are looking for a vigorous vinaysa class, a gentle introduction to yoga, a meditative hatha class or a deeply therapeutic restorative class, our approach is therapeutic, and our intention is to provide students with a wide variety of opportunities to heal mind and body.

What drew you to be here on Ossington?

We wanted to be in the centre of our Queen West neighborhood and we saw Ossingon as the new frontier. We were one of the first businesses to open up here, and it has been exciting to see our vision of the strip manifest.

What changes have you seen on Ossington since your business has been here?

Everything has changed. Ossington went from being one of the ugliest, emptiest streets to a thriving, funky happening strip.

How do you see your business and Ossington five years from now?

We are constantly growing and expanding, and so is Ossington, so we are really excited about the next 5 years.

What is your favorite spot on Ossington, other than your own? and why?

We love Jaiden’s Petals and Cindy Loo Who and they provide us with all of our flowers and furniture. We also love the pizza at Libretto!

It’s part of the greatness of Ossington that this little neighbourhood is producing great food, and great entrepreneurs.

Also just down the street, The Black Hoof was also on the list.

We wish them the best of luck and look forward to eating lots more pizza there.
