		<description><![CDATA[Those walking, or driving, by the corner of Dundas and Roncesvalles may have been surprised to see a new business opening up in the old bank of Montreal building—and, no, it isn&#8217;t Starbucks (yet, anyway). Actually it is not even a real business. The 60s-style sign reads &#8220;Mr. Pinky&#8217;s Hefty Hideaway, &#8221; on first thought, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had mentioned, a couple of posts back, that the City of Toronto report on the MegaBin/Eucan trial engaged in some interesting number juggling and justification concerning the community’s response to the trial. Most interestingly, the authors of the report had concluded that the 2,387 on-line surveys, of which 85% were negative, could be marginalized [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was pleased to see The Roncesvalles Village Business Improvement Area (RVBIA) speak out against the MegaBin trial in their Spring 2006 Business Bulletin. This supports the findings of the City&#8217;s report which states that while 4 BIAs supported the trial, 8 disapproved and 5 of those who did, including our RVBIA, officially rejected the [...]]]></description>

The article, by Anthony Reinhart, focuses on the total marketing strategy that has overwhelmed the TTC Subway stations. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[North Roncesvalles, like most of Toronto, slows down in August. The body numbing heat, Ontario’s cottage culture, and our meditative preparation for the increased fall and winter workload lighten street traffic and bring a relative quiet to the neighbourhood. While business owners do not really appreciate this late summer lull it is a defining attribute of this city and NorthRonces.com is not immune. Despite some light travel and heavy lethargy I have come across a few quick hit items that may be of interest:

		<description><![CDATA[One of the intentions of NorthRonces.com is to direct attention beyond the mental and legal boundaries that constitute the Roncesvalles Business Improvement Area (RBIA) which officially ends at Hewitt Ave. on the north end and Galley Ave. on the south. The expanse of Roncesvalles and Dundas West between Hewitt and Bloor has generally been considered something of a commercial and community dead zone, one of those stretches of well-travelled thoroughfare familiar to most Torontonians (south Bathurst comes to mind). These areas are characterized by heavy traffic, predominantly rental housing, transient businesses and a generally less inviting, less loved feel. And this despite the existence of strong residential neighbourhoods just behind the uninviting commuter facade. In the case of North Ronces and Dundas West, however, there have always been a few strong businesses and lately there have been even more signs of renewal.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It appears that the drive to co-name at least a part of Roncesvalles Avenue <a href="http://www.sylviawatson.ca/newsletters/issue51.htm">“Pope Jean Paul II Boulevard”</a> is beginning to lose momentum. Not only have most of the public comments solicited by Ward 14 City Councillor Sylvia Watson been against the proposed change (80%) but there is a rumor that even the leaders of the Canadian Catholic Church have some reservations. I would suggest, however, that you continue to let <a href="mailto://councillor_watson@toronto.ca">Councillor Watson</a> know where you stand on the proposal until a final decision is made.
