Stores, cinema, and a major tram stop on the interurban. At one time, much being replaced by titivated condos. Artists tried to make it an art village in the 1970s, but rents rose.

  • Is Commercial Street, while the cultural hub is 4 km north and called Commercial Drive. Here Commercial drive diversion lead to Victoria Drive and The (Commercial) Drive ended. Was a street of light industry in the 1950s: bakeries, furniture, car repairs, millwork etc. Rose up in the 1910s as a stop on the Interurban trams with a movie house, apartments shops and such.
