the junction at a glance

The Junction (Toronto) derives its name from a junction of four railway lines in the area known as the West Toronto Diamond. The area which also includes the Wallace-Emerson area has many new restaurants and bars along Dundas Street West, attracting young hipsters, while lower rents make the neighbourhood appealing to artists. Some see The Junction as the next big "hip place to live". The area previously housed the Ontario Stockyards (meat-packing plants). The site is now the location of a large block of warehouse-style retail outlets, including Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Future Shop and Rona, along with several smaller stores, and the name "Stockyards" has evolved to describe this new shopping area. Immediately surrounding the retail core, new residential developments, primarily mid- to upscale- townhouses, are helping to revitalize this neighbourhood.
