These were taken from the streetcar one stop short of my stop. For those in Toronto, it is at Broadview and Gerrard. This is Chinatown East. It is a mix of Vietnamese, Chinese from the north of China and Chinese from the south. The immigrants apparently came in different waves...
This intersection is facinating to me. The NW corner has a public library and the Don Jail (Toronto's municiple jail). The NE corner has a bank. The SW corner has a Vietnamese restaurant and the SE corner has a Chinese grocery store... The hustle and bustle of this mini Chinatown is just part of what makes Toronto a cool place to be.
