Leslieville getting better?


I think Christmas may have come early for me this year. I discovered that a bar that has been slated to open for months in my neighbourhood actually opened its doors this week. I went in last night and found it to be everything I was hoping for in a neighbourhood watering hole. Leslieville is filled with its share of restaurants, bakery's and low end crappy bars. It is about time I have something within walking distance that has good music, good environment, and good people.

The place is darkly lit, boasts a great decor, and cold 50's for $5.00. It's located at Queen & Curzon and is named, well....."Curzon." While listening to some Johnny Cash and having said 50 I met a couple sitting on the far end of the bar from me. After some brief small talk they informed me that a new Burrito place called "Chino Locos" opened up at Queen & Greenwood. This was excellent news as my old favorite local place (Ghali Kitchen) closed down which just so happens to be the same location as where this new place is. So I am off to see if what they told me is accurate. I believe he said "could be the best burrito he has ever had."

Christmas came early for me by the looks of it.
All we need now is for Rotate this or Soundscapes to move down here and I am one happy man.
