	Cabbagetown (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Cabbagetown, a district in east-central Toronto, the general boundaries of which are the Don River on the east, Parliament St on the west, Gerrard St on the north, and Queen St on the south.
		It was settled by working-class immigrants from Ireland and England in the 1860-80 period, who erected cottages and terraced (row) housing with some Victorian and Georgian ornamentation and grew vegetables on the small lots, especially cabbages, which lent the district its name.
		Cabbagetown deteriorated into a slum between the world wars, but thereafter its character changed with urban renewal and subsidized housing in the 1950s and renovation of many still-standing houses by young professionals from the 1960s to the present.

	Cabbagetown
		Still, Cabbagetown went on changing from the 1950s, as an in flux of newer ethnic elements brought a very different diversity, and then as gentrifiers swept in, extensively and expensively remodelling its humble houses.
		This Cabbagetown was a place of small-town family and neighbourly focuses, of mutual aid and accepted, bonding obligations.
		Quite probably popular tradition is right in attributing the name Cabbagetown to proliferating little fields, cabbage patches and squatters' shacks-which became residences for the expanding poorer elements of the city-associated as the term was also with poor Irish settlers of the day, both Protestant and Catholic, who traditionally raised the humble green vegetable.

	sapphireblue: asynchronous exhibitionism
		Cabbagetown is rich with history, but not the kind to be painted over and resold at a monster profit by adventurous yuppies.
		The only people moving to Cabbagetown and fixing it up are true urbanites, the sort who choose their paint colors based on what strikes them as groovy at the moment, not on what will resell well---the sort who don't mind the occasional drunken bum shambling down Boulevard talking to himself.
		It's a great, painful loss for the village of Cabbagetown and for the city of Atlanta, and it is my fervent hope that it does not take the passage of another 135 years to bring back to Cabbagetown the sort of spirit and hope that the Fulton Cotton Mill Loft project so grandly bespoke.
