	Cabbagetown
		Set at the eastern end of the original City of Toronto and extending to the Don River, this locale was scarcely occupied before 1850, for the main thrusts of expansion had moved westward along the harbourfront or northward around Yonge Street, the central route inland.
		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.
		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.

	Amazon.ca: Cabbagetown: Books: Hugh Garner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		First published in a bowdlerized edition in 1950, Cabbagetown is one of the few Canadian novels published before 1960 that is genuinely frank about sex and politics, and as a result, it's one of the few literary artifacts of its time to dismantle the myth of Toronto the Good.
		Set in Toronto's east-end Cabbagetown neighbourhood ("the largest Anglo-Saxon slum in North America," not the comfortable middle-class enclave it has since become), Garner's novel begins on the eve of the Great Depression, with his teenage characters leaving school, finding paltry jobs, and attending half-innocent kissing parties at their more privileged friends' homes.
		Cabbagetown is chiefly notable as an alternative social history of Toronto.
