135 Tyndall Ave, Toronto. As some graffiti I saw nearby said “King and Duff is mad rough”.
Move-in day I had what I’m fairly certain was a drug dealer got into a fight with me.
The elevator license was about a year expired, so I refused to use it. Walking up 7 stories wasn’t too big a deal, except that the stairwell was usually home to a few meth heads indulging in their habit.
Frequently I would find homeless people sleeping in the halls outside my unit, often having to wake them up so I could get inside my own home.
My roommate and I used to hang out on our balcony and look at the people below and try to guess whether they were drug addicts, prostitutes, or former patients from the mental health institution the government had shut down a few years prior (many ended up homeless).
That doesn’t even begin to touch on the bedbugs, roaches, and pigeon problems that building had, or the bi-weekly fire alarms.
I got out of there within 6 months. Absolute hell. The area has a very large Tibetan population, and I do miss seeing the monks and prayer flags though.
