The locals here are always amazed when I tell them that we have at least three chinatowns in Toronto (Spadina/Dundas, Gerrard/Broadview and the swath that runs from Agincourt up into Thornhill) and can get much of the foods that they love.
Leto, I have been following the development of the portlands, especially that studio, in various Toronto Blogs and industry rags like Playback. I wouldn't be surprised to see the studio get closed down.
I can remember shopping that grocery store when it was a Knob Hill Farms (I think it also did some time as a flea market). For a couple years, a trip along Commisioners was part of my regular commute (allowed me to avoid turning left at lakeshore and carlaw on my scooter). I also loved going to Cherry Beach for fries with my son.
All of that aside, T&T looks a lot more organized than the three or four Asian grocery stores in the Gerrard and Broadview area.
