In recent years, Bloordale has shed its reputation as a rough neighbourhood and become home to entrepreneurs who want to try something new. The result is an exciting mix of hip young businesses and time-tested old ones. Not only that, it’s the only neighbourhood in town with a church physically attached to a strip club.

Founded in the late 70s, the Mercer Union gallery moved to Bloordale in 2008. The gallery space is fairly small, but feels roomy with high plaster ceilings painted white to match the walls. This artist-run, non-profit gallery features contemporary artists from local to international.
