Pulling out JCH Streetpan 400 For Grey March Days in the Beaches Part Two.

 

I love the Beaches between Queen and Kingston Road with the varied architecture and the walkable scale, you can just wander for 15 minutes and be able to buy groceries, get a coffee, buy books, meet up with friends on a pub patio. You really can't do that where I live unless you live in the older Part of Oakville below Cornwall/Speers and close to 16 Mile Creek. Even then, there are no indie book stores I'm aware of in town any more. Long term this is on the short list of neighbourhoods I want to move to in Toronto. 

The criteria for anywhere I want to live, is to be very walkable as in everything I need can be found within  a 15 minute walk,  functional and reliable public transit that can get me anywhere pretty quick 24/7, a library branch, a decent indie book store or two, decent indie coffee shops/roasteries, and a great local pub or two with a decent beer list. I'm also thinking long haul, I don't want be old in Oakville and I can't drive any more (still a long way off thankfully but wise to plan ahead). While seniors love this town (joked with a friend once, Oakville is a great town for the newly wed and the nearly dead), unless you live downtown Oakville or the heart of Bronte, living the car free golden years deep in 905 suburbia is a bad idea. 

Like I said Beaches is on my short list. Jo-Anne lives up at Yonge and Eglington and schlepping across one public transit system is much cheaper than two.
