Westboro

This neighbourhood has gradually developed into one of the trendiest in the city. Various shops, restaurants, and condos have begun to take over what was previously a lower-income area (including parts of Hintonburg, which was originally developed as a streetcar suburb for downtown civil servants, and Mechanicsville), inching eastward toward the O-Train line and Centretown. Some notable features of the area include Collected Works Bookstore and Coffeebar, “Elvis Lives” Lane (behind the infamous Newport Restaurant), and slight east, into Hintonburg (or …“Wellington Village”) The Carleton Tavern. In 2007, the Great Canadian Theatre Company opened their brand new building at the corner of Holland Avenue and Wellington Street.
