Wychwood & Dutch Dreams

Wychwood is a six-minute walk from St. Clair West Station. It opened in 1916, and it was renovated in 2022.

Most of the books are on the top floor.  When I went on June 6th, the elevator was down.

But when I went three weeks later, the elevator was working.

There are two different parts of the library. The new addition and original library with a bridge connecting the two.

There was a cool outdoor area.

The bathroom was very big and nice.

The teen section was in the new area. There was not enough space to see all the books because there was a table in the way.

I got Guardians of Dawn: Zhara by S. Jae-Jones. 

After I went to the library, I went to Dutch Dreams which is an eight-minute walk from St.Clair West Station. It was very busy and the ramp to get inside was too steep. I got watermelon sherbet and Hawaiian delight which is pineapple and orange ice cream. I loved it but it was a little bit too much.

Inside the store, there were cool decorations.

When I was walking around the neighborhood, I found a cool board game cafe which was a two-minute walk from Dutch Dreams and an eight-minute walk from St. Clair West Station.

Overall, I found Wychwood very accessible and Dutch Dreams less accessible but manageable.
