    All the beautiful old houses still on Sherbourne .... obviously all rentals now, but at least they are still there.

      He's there on a chilly Tuesday night. This place pops off on warmer weekend nights. It's a different type of scary than Hastings because of the project housing and the Jamaicans/Somalis, they don't play around. Hastings has a more brazen sidewalk drug market, but this area in Toronto has more gang activity

    It is all cleaned up now, nothing really too crazy compared to 15-20 years ago, that time, yes, you didn't want to walk there alone at any given night. Now is all peaceful and quiet.

      Most of the blocks we saw, yes. But not Sherbourne & Dundas. There are shootings within 200 ft of that intersection regularly. Stabbings and muggings too. On the south sidewalk just steps eastward it's an open-air drug market in the late evening and small hours most nights when the weather isn't unbearable.

    I know the area very well as I used to work at the now demolished Wellesley Hospital on Wellesley and Jarvis Streets. The areas you walked through looks incredibly tamer than how I remember it. There were a lot more winos and crackheads and hookers walking those hallowed streets of the 70's through the early 2000's. I suppose all the condos developments has gentrified the area somewhat.

    @C-mac_in_the_6ix 9 месяцев назад +8

    As many others have mentioned, the area is not as bad anymore. I think because many of the condo's popping up in the area. It's actually worse during the day but not like it was 20-30 years ago. I used walk down though that area all the time on my way to the Phoenix night club and I was always edge, especially after I got out of the club at like 2am. Someone else already mentioned Allan Gardens is still disgusting...lol.

    I use to work at Rosar Morrison Funeral Home at Sherbourne and Wellesley and they had a book that talked about the history of the area and that it was pretty affluent way back. Lots of photos of how some of the homes use to look. It’s definitely an area with problems but also some beautiful architecture and history.

    Sadly, I have found far more people who neither live in the area nor know anyone who does are the ones who claim to know the most about of the area, further perpetuating the area's reputation as dangerous and/or "sketchy." That said, it does appear that there is a greater number of people suffering from homelessness and/or mental illness congregating but that is in part a result of greater access to social resources, such as food, housing, and medical care, within a smaller area. But, the social issues on display at Sherbourne and Dundas are prevalent throughout every city nationwide.
    I live in Cabbagetown and walk through the area on an almost daily basis, all times of day and night. Not once have I ever felt unsafe or at all anxious of the area or those in it. But I also greet those I encounter as I would anyone else no matter the location.
    No one chooses to be an addict. No one wants to be homeless. But, those individuals are relentlessly looked down upon by society which often fuels the shame they already feel further motivating a disregard for themselves and others.
    I live The Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," which simply means, treat others as you'd like to be treated. As a result of so often walking through the area I have become acquainted with some individuals and learning what led to their ending up where they are highlights how easy it is to end up where they are.

      Stabbings , rapings, mugging, kidnappings , shootings, beatings, passed out people everywhere, security beat up some of the bad ones and tossed them into alleys.
      Security guards stabbed.
      The sheer number of people packed into those buildings and the drug fortresses with lookouts , guards , and many packing guns.
      Naked people walking through the intersection all times of day.

    Honestly, Toronto doesn't have really, really awful parts like some U.S. cities do. Yes it has very bad areas. My son is a paramedic in Toronto and sees some awful things but, I grew up in Memphis and have lived in Toronto and let me tell you one thing, in Memphis? You have areas where if you don't belong there you damned well better. not even go at night. You WILL get swarmed, robbed etc. Those neighborhoods routinely have stores held up at night and people shot for a couple of dollars. I didn't have a single friend in Memphis who had never been broken into and some people more than once including my mother. Toronto has bad areas but, thankfully it's not quite on the level of New Orleans, Memphis etc. Fewer guns, less poverty makes the difference. You let more programs get cut and loosen the gun laws and you will find out right quick how bad it can get.
