The Annex – Bloor St.’s historical district
by Logan Steele
Who would have thought in 1835, when the Annex was simply two vacant farm lots, that it would blossom into the community it has in this present day. The area is bordered by Bathurst Ave., St. George St. and Bloor St. contains within it a unique and down played almost bohemian demeanor. It is one of the only areas in the city that is not over run by large chain retailers and actually maintains a strong independent business market. The shopping on this strip I do find a bit sparse however; there are a few boutiques that carry some interesting merchandise. At very least it is worth the trip to see one of Toronto’s oldest suburban areas and its historic mansion littered streets.
