I like those kinds of things, too. In my region, we have old workers' cottages from the coal mining industry which have been re-invented as shops and restaurants. They're great places to go.

I am glad to see a list of some great neighbourhoods in Canada. Just today, I found out about a great project in the works called Now House. They're looking to start retrofitting the millions of war-time bungalows across the country. http://www.nowhouseproject.com/ I like the idea of using what we have before building new. Keeps our link with the past while ideally saving resources and encouraging creative solutions. Thanks for this!
