Ossington Avenue

For those out late tomorrow night celebrating Halloween, there will be an extra hour of service on Lines 1 and 2 to cover the time change.

And then on Sunday, Line 2 service will not start until noon between Jane and Ossington.

The TTC's November service changes also take effect on Sunday with several subway, streetcar and bus routes impacted.

The full list is on the TTC's website.

Shout out to Andrew for pointing that one.

I'm talking about from, from Ossington to Lansdowne.

Yeah.

There's not one sushi restaurant or one shawarma restaurant.

Like that's, that's just straight up.

Like, don't give me a condo for Ossington and Bloor, money for a condo at Ossington and Bloor and tell me you wanted an Oakville mansion.

That doesn't work guys.

Like, so, but it should have been a conversation that happened at the outset, but even at a higher macro level, it's embarrassing that we had RGC get the tender for research and education when we've got universities, multi-million dollar, eight, nine figure institutions, a across this province with researchers who already paid employees quasi of the Ontario government, just sitting here twiddling our thumbs going, Like, what the heck? Versus, like, I get promotion and advertising for Agri all the time.

So it's great to have them on the show today.

In 2012, they took over an old garage on Ossington, filled four fermenters, and opened one of the most influential breweries this province has ever seen, and it took off fast.

By mid-2010s, Bellwoods was the brewery, the darlings of the industry, and one of Ontario's original hype breweries.

There were line-ups down Ossington, and bottles sell- selling out in minutes, with people driving in from Montreal and beyond for a release.

That iconic logo started turning up in fridges, in cellars, and on beer trading boards around the world.

They became a destination brewery right out of the gate, and continue to be to this day.

I think I slammed him with all my plans, and, and he was like, "Yeah, we could," you know.

Um, h- we had, we shared a similar vision, I think.

So I start renting when I'm about 18 years old as a student of U of T.

And, you know, I wasn't, I didn't have bedbugs in little Italy, but I lived in rooming houses on Bathurst and, you know, on, in Ossington and places like that.

These were like, you know, homes that were rented out and there was five or six roommates or something like that.

They were in terrible condition.

i don't go there

Yeah, and I was like, I guess I'm the one person that's, it feels very King West on the Ossington.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Why do you go to a very King West spot? Because it's

Uh, anyway, um, [laughs] but, uh, but, um, I, yeah, I, I am with you.

I, I feel, I live at, at, at, at Trinity Bellwoods, uh, um, area, so at Dundas and Ossington.

I feel very safe walking around.

Although I have to tell you, last Thursday I was walking on Queen Street, uh, West to, uh, to go to the Rivoli and the Horseshoe with my friends as, uh, as old people are t- uh, are want to do.

The other business, a newer one, was called Empire Laboratories.

It operated out of a converted house on Ossington Avenue, repackaging tablets and capsules that Lou bought in bulk from American manufacturers.

Empire made generic drugs.

A generic drug is a copy of a brand name drug containing the same active ingredient, which is typically sold at a fraction of the price.
