"Have been there for brunch just after they opened and stopped in for a quick lunch too. I agree that the drink list is good but the prices are a tad high for what you get. I had the duck sandwich for lunch and it was very good, but for $14 I…"

Dropped by The Jerk on Thursday Jan 5 and the lovely ladies there told me that at the end of January they will be closing. Seems the building was sold. They didn't know much else but I speculate some…Continue

Real Jerk set to close
If the loss of The Real Jerk wasn't enough, we're also facing the disappearance of yet another of those modest but supremely flexible buildings that have enabled the city to grow and evolve.…"
Egg Flik replied to Jason Stewart's discussion The Real Jerk is closing down"The Leslieviller and Twitter are chock full of people reviewing and loving the character of the hood.

Egg Flik replied to Jason Stewart's discussion The Real Jerk is closing down"OK, height management is for intersections, so already the City has changed their policy about how it's addressed. And that whole 15 vs 12 is funny. At that height, it really doesn't matter anymore. 10 floors is exactly…"
"Finally we agree on something.
Love this statement you made.
So true
"If that model is followed, then any corner on any street can easily shove in something that's purely convenient to developers, because we can't balance our books…"
Egg Flik replied to Jason Stewart's discussion The Real Jerk is closing down"Chris, you're off base. Gentrification isn't the issue. Gentrification doesn't mean shoving in tall condos in place of current attractions. The problem with Jilly's is the business, not the building. If…"
Ara Mamourian replied to Jason Stewart's discussion The Real Jerk is closing down"The variance was allowed for 345 Carlaw because Streetcar purchased the building to the North as well. They are keeping the building in tact and have transferred the allowable density to the main structure. They wanted 15 levels but were allowed 12.…"
Egg Flik replied to Jason Stewart's discussion The Real Jerk is closing down"Heh so I've been told. I believe it was your first report of the Wedge that indicated the new owner was slow to develop. Any news on that front? On that topic, how vulnerable are SW and NNW Carlaw & Dundas, the current…"
"Gentrification is Good for Leslieville!!
1) Leslieville was a dump until recently (started improving in past 10 years)(I remember picking up my mom from Diamond Knitting Mills on Carlaw in the 70’s and 80’s…"
"don't bother argueing with Scratch Egg.
His thoughts are all over the place and he sounds like he is educated but drunk half the time...lol

Ara Mamourian replied to Jason Stewart's discussion The Real Jerk is closing down"You certainly have a way with words Scratch. Yes, I was referring to the wedge on the NW corner. Don't know what it will be yet.
I'm sure your neighbours on Badgerow and Boston made a healthy profit from their sales too. Hopefully…"
Egg Flik replied to Jason Stewart's discussion The Real Jerk is closing down"I just think there would be a happy medium between the gas station and what's currently going up. The current building wasn't the only option for that location. NW as in the "Wedge"? Or the very NW? So…"
Ara Mamourian replied to Jason Stewart's discussion The Real Jerk is closing down"Just a quick reply to your comment "so you admit that parts of Leslieville are going down the toilet". I would say that I see Showcase Living swirling down the toilet bowl but aside from that I'm quite happy with projects under…"
Egg Flik replied to Jason Stewart's discussion The Real Jerk is closing down"I'd say it's a part of it. I was bringing up the imported attitudes towards the City. The City is not in need of a huge influx of professionals that live in 600 square feet, 20 floors up. The change of the landscape is…"
Ara Mamourian replied to Jason Stewart's discussion The Real Jerk is closing down"The fact that most Torontonians are not originally from here is what makes this City as fantastic as it is. It's not the "small town bumpkin" that is changing the landscape of our great City (with the exception of Aragon, developers…"
Egg Flik replied to Jason Stewart's discussion The Real Jerk is closing down"You know, Toronto is made up of people mostly from elsewhere. There are few people that were actually born here and continue to stay here. That fact certainly is not news. It's well known that Toronto's diversity stems…"
