Toronto's Parkdale neighbourhood is known for its quirky charm, slow gentrification and a diverse mix of residents. Fittingly, the west side area provides plenty of intriguing content for the satirical Instagram account, appropriately called @parkdalelife. Comprised mainly of photo submissions, this feed lets you live vicariously through a mysterious Parkdale resident.

Yes, the Yellow Brick Road is located right in the heart of Parkdale. You can find it on Lansdowne, just north of Queen. It's pretty easy to spot (clearly); be on the lookout for the Tin Man.

Yarn bombing in Parkdale is simply bananas.
If this makes you want to rent a movie in real life, there are still a few video stores open in Toronto.
Apparently, you can find this snazzy bike rack by Queen and Dunn.
