Toronto KFC and sneaker store being demolished for a new park
Major changes are coming to an important corner of Queen St. West.
The abandoned KFC-Taco Bell hybrid at the corner of Queen and Augusta, along with longtime sneaker store SVP Sports, will be making way for a park.
Plans to turn the one-storey building into a four-storey office building have apparently been nixed.

UPPER GWYNEDDÂ â Save the date, or rather the dates: the annual Upper Gwynedd Carnival will be back in 2021. All the schools are opening in September, and I think it would be a welcome back to school celebration kind of thing, said commissioner Katherine Carter. I saw it on the agenda, and I was like, Yep, we should have it. I ll still have my mask on, but we should have it, she said.

Each year prior to 2020, the township would host a weekend-long festival featuring rides, food vendors, games and fireworks, typically on the second weekend in September on the Thursday and Friday evening, then all day Saturday and Sunday at the township s Parkside Place complex on Sumneytown Pike.
