Jane's Walk on Bloor West Village - Two Packed Tours

On May 2 and 3 I was priviedged to lead a total of approximately 75 people on a tour of our wonder Bloor West Village. I covered off a range of diverse topics, including the water that runs under the streets of the neighbourhood; the interesting history of prohibition that had the south side of Bloor being WET while the north side being DRY (and the person who fought to keep booze from Toronto's West End) and some of the amazing legacy stores in our "village".
