There is an area known as "Little India" located on Gerrard Street between Coxwell and Greenwood.

They have many authentic clothing, jewellery, restaurants and food stores.

Ten Reasons Small Spaces Are Better Than Big Ones

As we sat in our lovely little 250 s/f nest last night, we started to think about how great small spaces were and what they had over big ones. All of a sudden a list started forming...

1. Everything is at your fingertips.
2. They�re cozier.
3. They clean up faster.
4. They allow you to live with less of everything - simplicity & economy.
5. A small space allows you to experiment more with different design ideas.
6. They get you outside more.
7. They put you more in touch with your neighbors/community.
8. They are cheaper. They put more money back into your life.
9. Small spaces require more imagination (large spaces are for those with no imagination).
10. Small spaces create momentum. They force one to make decisions, at home as well as in life


Positive Attitude

I also have found this amazing short thread about places to live in: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/best-places-to-live-in-toronto-t66392.0.html#msg650176

By the way, in Missisauga are placed most of the Headoffices of big companies. If I will find a job in one of them, I think we will be living in this region. Someone else plan to go there?
