North Roncesvalles is experiencing a renaissance. Over the past few years exciting new retail shops, bars and restaurants have opened up. The street is now a vibrant community marketplace that mixes the old and new. It is our belief that this mixed environment produces the most livable and interesting neighbourhoods. This is, however, a mix that is very difficult to maintain. It faces both the demands of the past and the call of the future, the pleasures of continuity and the drive for growth. Unfettered, either of these forces can tip the balance and destroy the diverse character or the human scale of the community. The goal of NorthRonces.com, therefore, is to champion the desirable, but difficult, balance. And yes, we demand a place to buy a decent bottle of wine!
