Young, hip 20-somethings smoke as they lean against the restaurant 9;s green brick walls. Inside, they sip cocktails and grill their own steaks. A few blocks south, a wine bar will soon occupy the ground floor of a modern, two-story mixed-use complex that features design studios and housing, and it'll face a converted church that is serving as a local arts space.

- Gentrification: "The middle of the market is a paradox because of the inherent contradiction between the ease of reaching the nerds and the geeks and the need to reach the middle. The solution, if there is one, is to enter a market to the enthusiastic cheers of those in search of the new, but to build a product/servic e that appeals to those in the middle. After the initial wave of enthusiasm, you hunker down and ignore those that first embraced you, obsessing instead on the needs and networks of the middle. It's a difficult balancing act, but it's the only one that works. Ultimately, you end up disappointing the hard core that first found you, but because of their initial enthusiasm (and more important, because you designed your work for the masses in the first place), your product crosses the chasm and reaches a larger group."

- T.O. A to Z: Is hot spot Ossington now becoming a battleground? - Posted Toronto: 27 jun 09 / The Ossington Avenue strip between Dundas and Queen, once populated by dodgy Vietnamese-Can adian-frequent ed karaoke joints, has over the past two years exploded into a wild frontier of overprivileged , mostly white 18-to-35-year- olds noisily partying with the collusion of unscrupulous bar owners out to make a fast buck at the expense of long-time residents who can no longer get a decent sleep. Or so goes the story. This narrative is now so familiar and powerful that it?s forced a one-year moratorium on bar and restaurant licences on the strip. But does it hold up in real life? Ossington is an experiment at high speed: A clash of cultures, ages, socio-economic levels and, yes, volume levels in a confined space. The Post haunted the strip on June 19 to capture just one night of an evolution proceeding on an uncertain course.
