This is an area where we go shopping and my wife's doctor has his office. Shopper's, Macdonalds, TD Bank, Portuguse take-out, No Frills and many other shops are on my daily trips and if it wasn't for the snow I would have probably been out and about.But I guess I shouldn't be surprised based on shootings, bombings, etc. that have occurred in the overall neighborhood bordered by the Allan on the east and Keele on the west over the years. Of course police want to thank, in advance, the community for their help in catching the perps.....description below.

Toronto police are looking for two suspects and the intended target of a shooting that left two bullet holes in a TTC bus this afternoon.
Around noon, police were called to the area of Eglinton Ave. W. and Dufferin St. after reports that shots were fired.
Witnesses tell police that at least two men were chasing another man down the street when gunfire rang out.
At least two bullets hit a passing TTC bus, which had the driver and one passenger in it.
So far, no injuries have been reported. However, police are searching for the intended victim because they are concerned he may have been hurt.
Suspect descriptions are vague but the shooter is described as male, black, in his early 20s, wearing a faded green camouflage jacket with a hood. He was carrying what appeared to be a stainless steel-type gun.
Police are checking if the bus is equipped with a camera and are hoping it caught images of the wanted men.

eesh. You live up there?
no wonder you're so miserable.
I wouldn't normally respond to you but you are taking your cheap shot mentality and insulting a large group of people who built this city through their sweat and tears and a lack of protection of the current "equality" legislation.
1)I am not miserable.
2)It's a great neighborhood overall.
3)In speaking to many of the newcomers I was told they were not welcomed in the NUMBY areas like Leslieville.
Easy Water easy. It was kinda a joke.
But I don't think it's any worse than the continual cheap shots you've been taking on Leslieville for some time now. That's ok, there's alway jokes and some rivalry between neighborhoods. bUt but man when someone makes a funny on your neighborhood you practically start saluting. Jesus.
At this pint, I should tell you, I don't live in Leslieville, and never did. So your cheap shots for months, and made me smile. I have any friends there, but nope, I don't. I live in in te north part of Riverdale, (just south of Danforth in good ole Jack's riding). But we bought a house in the downtown so I'll live even further.
So there you go, you can continue to take your cheap shots, but it'll have to be a general downtown kind of shot. :)
