Alberta Street has become the go to district if you want to get a feel what it is like to live in within an artsy community. Every month there is a big art shindig for everyone to participate in and once a year its tamer sister the street fair brings out families to join in the fun and inspire future artists and creative to try their hand the arts.
Of course this doesn't work without sponsorship and their is a bounty of commercial and corporate booths set up as well. Nevertheless it is a good feel event and hopefully other cities can adapted some of these successful strategies of co-habitation and gentrification.
