A Walk Through the Upper Beaches down to Glen Stewart Ravine and Glen Manor Drive

 Toronto real estate agents have this habit of remaning certain neighbourhoods to make them sound more appealing, in this case East Toronto became,  The Upper Beaches. 

Prior to being folded into the City of Toronto, over a century ago East Toronto was a thriving village with it's own history and railway hub on the then Grand Trunk Main Line. Echos the old village remain with Main Street being well the main street for the former village. While the Grand Trunk station switched over  to CN, was replaced with a GO Station in the late 1960s, the railway yards off the main line have long been replaced with townhouses. 

This was part of my Summer of exploring parts of the city I'm not too familiar with, I started my walk at The Bothy Coffee shop on Gerrard east of Main, then worked my way down Main and then along Kingston Road to the Glen Stewart Ravine.
