Cabbagetown Toronto is one of Toronto's oldest
most distinguished neighbourhoods that is going through a resurgence of
late.
The
historic Victorian homes are being renovated and this once down and
out 'hood is becoming vibrant with a mix of great shopping, ethnic
restaurants and lots of patios.
From just before the
depression to the 1980's Cabbagetown was one of Toronto's slums. Now
the neighbourhood is part of a Heritage Conservation district and the
homes are being brought back to their former grandeur.
Cabbagetown
offers city dwellers a chance to visit with animals usually only found
in the
country at Riverdale Farm. This is also home to the Free the Children
organization founded by the Kielburger brothers.
