I am very disappointed in my neighbours if they indeed are the ones that ensured a grocery store could not open on Ossington. While I really enjoy eating at some of the restaurants on Oz, I am thoroughly bored by the Little Williamsburg feel to a lot of the establishments here in the West end. I wonder when the decorators will run out of salvaged wood and vintage furniture. Cote de Boeuf is not a grocery store and the Dollarama certainly does not ‘make’ the neighbourhood. There might be one corner store on Oz between Queen and Bloor where you can find an onion. Thank goodness for Kensington Market, it’s still a real neighbourhood.

A certain group of neighbourhood residents spent a lot of time this past year
ensuring that developers would not have enough space to allow someone to
come in with a grocery store. We did get Cote de Boeuf and, although it’s not really a grocery store the Dollarama opened on Dundas.
