Yorkville

It's also, it's like the equivalent of someone being like, I don't live in Bridal Path.

I live in Yorkville or something.

Or Toronto listeners.

Yeah.

And I appreciate that there's a narrative now, that there's just some discussion, some discourse about kind of the behaviors of a lot of dog owners and the entitlement that they have, like this lady.

another time by the way i had headphones in i was throwing out my garbage and uh at the garbage chute and i'm walking back in and there's like doors whatever i open the door and i walk through it and i just yell her i hear a yell from like literally 10 meters back it's just excuse me and i'm like what i turn on my headphones around she's like you weren't gonna hold the door open for me and my dog true story first of all never heard you and i was genuinely like oh i'm sorry i didn't i didn't hear or see you he's like right i'm like i didn't she's like yeah sure white woman of course not of course but you know generally of course um and you know kind of like i guess um Toronto, uh, upscale white, if that makes any sense, you know, she's, she's got a few appointments to different clinics in Yorkville.

I assume kind of has that aesthetic, has that vibe.

Maybe it was a former bottle girl.

I don't know.

Maybe he's a real estate agent.

Probably not, but you know, maybe she's not, but she definitely looks like she has some medical, uh, professional medical appointments, uh, in Yorkville.

So, uh, she was that kind of, she's giving that, uh, And she's just, like, disgusted at me, which I'm, like, also, like, I think part of the reason you're disgusted at me is if I was just some, like, dude, some tall white guy that, like, didn't hold the door open.

And even just...

Some of the best buildings that are out there or that were supposed to be in the best areas like down in Yorkville in Toronto area, they're slapping buildings up really quick.

You're seeing some major issues in terms of leaks and water, stuff that's happening.

I had a client the other day who just took some pictures and then called me.

I might have been 18, but for the purposes of the song, I'm 19.

It's Yorkville.

I'm walking down the street.

I had long hair.

The next chapter was the name of Sheila Rogers' longtime CBC radio show.

You see how it's all coming together? And you

said a Yorkville woman named Kathy Young.

Yes.

Okay.

And then I'm at Yorkville.

We're not supposed to release our Yorkville schedules, but I am going to be at Yorkville two days a week when it opens.

So you'll be in all three?

Yeah.

Janet, what was it for you?

I opened Nervosa, I don't know if people, Torontonians, Nervosa, corner of Yorkville and Valaire.

So that's a business I opened up in 1996, so it's 30 years old.

And when the opportunity really fell in my lap, it was, two guys that were under construction and I was walking by.

And that's how the restaurant business started for me.

But what I saw was a gap.

So I think my story is always about looking at gaps and the gap in Yorkville for me was, you know, very high-end neighborhood that had a lot of high-end restaurants 30 years ago.

And this was going to be a neighborhood, Italian trattoria, pizzeria.

And at that show, because again, Nash was plugged into the scene.

He'd been in breathless and the Toronto scene at that point was raging and While I did my sort of formative early years playing in bars around southern Ontario, Nash had been downtown Toronto where the scene was, where it started in Yorkville, as you probably have heard, and it started in coffee houses, and there were a lot of original bands and a lot of original music at that time.

And that was a real sort of birthplace.

And we just happened to sort of arrive

It's valuable to me.

But then maybe I see something somewhere, Amazon, the mall, Yorkville, I don't know, wherever I'm at.

And it's like, oh, this money was precious to me, but I also put a lot of value in these things and it's only 99.99.

So now the thing that was precious to me, I'm gonna give that up to get this thing because this doesn't have the same value to me because this is more precious than this.
