This blog is a bit of a labour of love. Going into it’s second year in only a few days (yes, we’ll post when it happens) it’s been a fun project documenting the change in this great city street.
Robert Washburn, a journalism professor, asked me to write a piece about what we are doing here, which is, essentially, hyper-local blogging. We’re writing about a small piece of the city – of the world – and giving our perspective on the area.
Today that was published in J-Source, and online Journal of Journalism. (doesn’t that sound cool?)
Check it out here.

When I moved to from the neghbourhood to Seattle at the end of 2007, I was struck be how many hyperlocal blogs that Seattle, a city five times smaller than Toronto, has.
Great to see Toronto has one covering this little strip of the city now.

Yes. There are a few around Toronto. There’s even a ning site in Leslieville called the Leslieviller – which combines some social media tools.
