Enjoy this map tour by me (!) for Heritage Toronto and Little Jamaica 😊
With a failed expressway project & shift to subway infrastructure in the 1970s, cafes, food markets & hair salons began to open in #EglintonWest, forming community spaces & shaping #LittleJamaica for the Caribbean immigrants who called the area home. 👉🏿 https://t.co/Q1vukC9PQ2
