Loga's Corner

If you want to see gentrification in action, Parkdale is the place to see. This cozy neighborhood is home to many immigrants living in affordable high-rise rentals, but has undergone breakneck transformation in the last few years as one of the few truly cheap places left in the city. That, of course, has drawn the attention of students and artists and everyone wanting to sell beer and clothes to those people, which has made the whole area a lot less cheap. Now you can find quietly advertised authentic Nepalese momos next to loud hipster spots that are collectively known as “Vegandale”. There’s no need to pick a side: generally, the newcomers are supportive of the older establishments, and lord knows both vegans and Nepalis cook good food.
