After the self-proclaimed success of the Apartment613 Blog Walk for last year’s Jane’s Walk festival, we decided to take a group down Bank Street to some of the more interesting stops along our favourite slice of Bank Street. About 20 walkers braved the threat of rain, collected some local lore and learned a bit about the people who make Bank Street the home for their business. Here’s a taste of what we saw…
We started the walk at Bank and Laurier, where Bank Street turns from a business into a place where people actually live.
The first stop on the tour was Bread and Son's bakery. The Bank Street source for vegan muffins, great pizza and fair trade coffee.
We stopped at Venus Envy and learned that the community (even the neighboring bible shop) has been supportive of this sexual health store.
 Chris talks to the group about the history of the Imperial Theatre and why his restaurant is trying to preserve a little bit of that feel. |
 Tracey from the bridgehead gives us her take on what it would take the chain to move into the suburbs and why she always wants you to be able to find a table at your local cafe |
