Koreatown Toronto (3) - Mississauga

Tuesday, August 14, 2012
Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
This summer during my trip back again to Toronto I was using Cooksville Go Stn just south of Square One. I used to live here from 1998-2004 and was surprised to see a new suburban Koreatown in three adjacent plazas that were not here back when I lived there.  
















 


 

The small area is on Dundas St West, a few blocks east of Hurontario, around where the GM dealership used to be. 

 
 








 
 

The first plaza had a bakery, chiropracter, restaurant, and butchers store

 
 












 
The second plaza after the old GM dealership is where I used to get my hair cut. The hair salon is gone and the entire plaza has been 'Korean-ized' complete with a Shinahan Bank branch with ATM

I was going to try to put my Nonghyup card in there but decided not to incase it swallowed it as an invalid card then I would have no bank card when I got back to Korea!. 

 
 
 
 





















































 


 
 

The next plaza east towards Cawthra is a large grocery store which had been there back from when I was living there. The upper floor has some office services. The supermarket was well stocked and felt just like being back in Korea except for the prices

Further east by Tomken is a Bank of Montreal with Korean writing. The old GM dealership also has a Korean Repair Garage in there now.
