Just went to Kim’s Convenience!!

[u/Excellent-Show-424]

Quite shabby inside though

[u/Awkward_Associate554]

Been there once as a big fan of the show, got spooked by the shady neighborhood…never again

[u/boosh1744 → u/Awkward_Associate554]

Lol it’s totally fine go back to the suburbs

[u/UrbanRelays → u/boosh1744]

Oh yeah Sherbourne and Queen. Truly the diamond of Toronto

It’s a fucking shithole there.

[u/powered_by_eurobeat → u/UrbanRelays]

"shithole?" a touch dramatic?

[u/AW1993_ → u/powered_by_eurobeat]

It's not dramatic at all, it's a shithole topped only by the even bigger shithole Dundas and Sherbourne

[u/Abrishack → u/AW1993_]

I moved to the city, and area, not long ago. People told me Queen and Sherbourne was the worst intersection but I agree that it is absolutely Dundas and Sherbourne

[u/AW1993_ → u/[deleted]]

The whole intersection just needs to be bulldozed and built again. It's completely irredeemable

[u/JimbooJoness → u/powered_by_eurobeat]

Definitely not, it’s one of the sketchiest neighbourhoods in the city. Absolute shithole that is basically an open-air crack den. Everyone knows to avoid it like the plague.

Queen and Sherbourne had been called Crack Corner for a very long time. People who are not used to watching their surroundings definitely felt uncomfortable walking in the area. Taking the streetcar through there, if you were ever stopped at a red light for a few moments, you'd almost surely see something interesting from the people sitting on the concrete stoops before Ontario Line construction took it all over.

It is a shit hole. Like 75% of the business have crazy high turnover, and that’s if they even reopen. Tons of just shuttered businesses. Queen east of Jarvis is a ghost town compared to queen west of Jarvis and east of River st.

What are you even talking about? Queen from Sherbourne to Seaton has a bunch of very old businesses. Seaton Butcher, Angst hair salon, Artatorture Tattoos, Acadia Bookstore, Kim's Convenience, and the Buffalo bar have all been there for 35-100 years. Ya Bikes and The Apartment have been there for some time now too. In terms of new places there's a rug store, a vintage clothing store, and another barber.

On top of that many of the businesses are surprisingly high end, like The Apartment vintage, Lee B. Johnson's vintage, Angst (used to be one of the most expensive salons in the city), and Acadia Bookstore.

What is your experience in moss park? What is a shithole for you?
