Quick straw poll; Toronto?

[curgoth]

Quick poll for the readership: can folks name anything about Toronto that has gotten better in the past five years? Ten years?

I'm just thinking about gentrification and the corresponding death of music and unselfconscious weirdness. Various cons relevant to my interests have either withered or flat out died. Neighbourhoods I am used to thinking of as "my" neighbourhoods to hang out in are unrecognizable.

But surely I am focusing on the negative, as is my wont? Can anyone on my flist think of some place, event, or organization that is more fun than it was in the past? Surely, there must be something out there that has gotten niftier?

I miss good raves, but seem to be seeing better cafes, more green walls, and the start of some interesting collaborative workspaces. The art scene seems more accessible than it was 5 years ago, with more cooperative drop-in spaces.
