Blythwood Public School, though one of the smaller elementary schools in the Toronto District, it has always enjoyed strong community support. School was established in 1937 at 2 Strathgowan Crescent, near Mount Pleasant and Lawrence Park. Thanks to Marc Hodges and his interesting architectural photo we can admire clean geometrical lines of the outside wall at Blythwood.

We’d heard the buzz about Locavore, a hot restaurant that opened on Avenue Road north of Lawrence last year; how Executive Chef Matt Cowan was doing amazing things with naturally raised, locally sourced food (when you don’t serve anything out of season, you definitely have to get creative – when there are no tomatoes for the sauce, what do you substitute?) With great reviews from the Toronto Star and reliable sites like martiniboys and chowhound, we happily stepped outside our geographical comfort zone and into what feels like a little part of suburbia in the city. As we stood outside a convenience store at the corner of Avenue Road and Lawrence, I pointed across the street at the mega-Shoppers, open 24 hours, and told my partner that Locavore had to be right beside it.
