Category: Streets

It would appear that when the streets of Centretown were being named, the Earl of Derby drew the short straw.

Eccles Street has a lot of diversity for its size. Spanning just over half a kilometre between Preston Street and Bell Street, Eccles is lined with many homes, a couple of churches, several office buildings, a south-Asian beauty salon called Bollywood, a vacant building that was formerly a grocery store and a community health centre.

Snug in the south end of Centretown, Argyle Avenue is just over half a kilometre long.

As you turn off of busy Rochester Street to Anderson Street a sudden calm takes over the neighbourhood.
