More
recently, the area has experienced
a wave of gentrification as higher-priced
restaurants and bars have moved in,
as well as a European-style public
square (at Logan Avenue). Greektown
on the Danforth boasts one of the
highest concentrations of restaurants
per kilometre in the world. The annual
"Taste of the Danforth"
festival now attracts over a million
visitors over a 2 1/2 day stint in
early August. The neighbourhood is
mentioned in the Barenaked Ladies
song, The Old Apartment and by critically
acclaimed author Joseph Assenza in
his novel, "The History of John".
