Remember September

With a pleasant cool sun on my face and rich sour cream in my belly from Donna's, I decided to visit the Polish Festival by heading down Wallace, over the foot bridge onto Dundas St. W, and then south to Roncesvalles.

The festival was in full swing with many people out enjoying the good weather. True, there wasn't many Polish businesses along this gentrified street anymore though I did snag a polish sausage ($4) and some good sauerkraut from Chicago Bakery & Deli. There was also a small stage with a lively Polish band. Yet the diversity on display from Asian fares like grilled octopus to twisted potato, to fish tacos and pierogies, highlighted the wonderful multi-culturism of this fair city. And if the neighbourhood itself is now mostly high-earning Caucasian families, at least the visitors to this street festival reflected the wider mosaic of Toronto.
