This installment of “Cabbagetown According to” features the opinions of Lynne Oddie, elected to the Board of Directors in 2017 and now serving as the CRA Secretary.
Best place in Cabbagetown for a bite to eat:
“Hey Lucy”. They are always so great with my two little ones. They even have the high chairs with the trays!
Cabbagetown needs:
A dress shop! Or at least more clothing stores.
Favourite block:
Anything involving Amelia. It is such a beautiful street.
Best public space:
Riverdale Farm. I take my girls there almost every day. I think my daughter prefers the water fountain over the animals, but we do always manage to check out the bunnies.
Favourite store:
No Frills. Seriously. It is amazing I can walk five minutes and get key household stuff.
Cabbagetown pet peeve:
All the sirens. We live on the South side of Spruce Street and there always seems to be a ton of sirens around naps and bedtime.
Cabbagetown’s best-kept secret:
Absolutely Bakery, just south of Wellesley Street, east side of Parliament. They have amazing pastries at such reasonable prices.
Best reason to join the Cabbagetown Residents Association (CRA):
It’s a great way to meet new people and learn more about our wonderful neighbourhood.
