The
New York Times writes on the allure of Toronto's fashion district,
"once a hodgepodge of textile factories and auto lots", the old
warehouses have been transformed into upscale restaurants, trendy boutiques
and sleek glass condos.
"The roughly 17-square-block area where most of the development is
taking place is named for its link to the textile industry. Just west
of Toronto's downtown and theater district, the fashion district is
bisected along King Street by the city's most popular streetcar line.
Development has been centered on the diminutive Victoria Memorial Park,
which is surrounded by stylish midrise buildings and industrial brick
structures given new life with trendy shops and restaurants."
