Even though it no longer needs the New Broadview to reinvent itself it can't do anything but make it a bit better.

I no longer live in the area but did for 4 years until last december and the change was night and day. So many new places have opened just since I left and I expect the trend to continue. I wouldn't be surprised to see Gerrard St go the same way Dundas has in the west end (west of Bathurst and especially Ossington) too. Things will really take off when the Broadview reno starts going full swing. Should be interesting!
