St. Clair Ave West in Toronto was the hub for Italian immigrants in the 1950s and 1960s. Shopping, food and coffee bars were the norm. We lived in Willowdale but people would venture to St. Clair for wedding outfits and Italian goods. Last Saturday July 5 there was the 15th annual Corso Italia street festival. Ten blocks are closed off to allow people to enjoy. Barb convinced me to go.
