WHAT’S THERE

Taqueria La Bonita 1128 Cadboro Rd.

It’s worth the 15-minute walk

from the LRT station to find an alternative to the fast-food joints along Ogilvie. Overlook the stripmall exterior: inside, bright walls and tiled floors — along with such dishes as cochinita pibil tacos (stuffed with citrus-marinated pork) — make it easy to imagine you’re in Mexico.

Pine View Golf Course 1471 Blair Rd.

This affordable spot offers two

18-hole courses, a 250-seat clubhouse, lessons, summer golf camps for kids, and a variety of adult leagues, as well as indoor golf on high-definition simulators generating images of Banff Springs, Pebble Beach, and other famous courses.

Gloucester Centre 1980 Ogilvie Rd.

Proposed developments aside, this

mall and nearby free-standing buildings already offer the basics, including Loblaws, Walmart, Chapters, LCBO, Mr. Gas, and a Scotiabank Theatre, as well as a Big Rig Kitchen and Brewery
