When I was a kid, we used to go to the Westwood Theatre most of the time when we wanted to go to the movies. It was located in Etobicoke, or should I say the former Etobicoke, in the midst of that traffic monstrosity known as the 6-points interchange. It’s been sitting vacant for years and the City owns the land. At one point the City was looking at putting a courthouse on the site, but that never happened. Now there’s some noise in our community newspaper about possible redevelopment on the site. I was surprised to read that the redevelopment was not going to be based on new condos. Instead, there is a possibility that a YMCA community recreation centre will anchor the development. I understand some kind of recreation centre like this would be very welcome in the area. Sounds like a good idea. I’ll be following this one to see how it unfolds.
