Corktown
from Walking in Place · host Ashley McDonough
Corktown is more than a park and condos, as I have learned. This area tells the story of the early poor and working class immigrant populations of Toronto (shout out to the Irish and Macedonian communities). We also learn about the underground railroad, unmarked graves (of humans and, technically, pigs) and talk about making the city beautiful and functional without sneakily demolishing heritage buildings. Oh, and there’s magic! And beer! And puppies! Walk-Along Info: Walk length: 45ish min Walkability: fairly flat, smooth roads, not crowded, some jaywalking Start: Eastern Ave. and Sackville St. Finish: Eastern Ave. and Rolling Mills Rd. --------------------------------- Sources Theme music by Lukus Benoit Featuring the song "Crazy" by Patrick Patrikios --------------------------------- SUPPORT THE SHOW: Follow on Insta @walkinginplacepod, Tiktok @walkinginplacepod, Twitter @PlaceWalking, and Facebook Become a patron!
