Occasional Toronto: Corso Italia

Corso Italia

Last week I showed you a banner for Regal Heights found on St Clair Ave and this week I am showing one for the Corso Italia which is also found on St Clair and is the second Italian neighbourhood in Toronto after Little Italy on College St. The area is famous for its many cafes, bakeries, clothing shops (especially bridal shops) and its gelaterias.

Revrunner said...: Interesting. I looked this up about D.C.: :Those early Italian immigrants to DC never really established a true Little Italy of their own. Instead, they mostly settled in two residential neighborhoods that vanished long ago — Swampoodle, near the U.S. Capitol and Union Station, and the Judiciary Square area."; January 25, 2017 at 5:14 PM
