Greektown

This guide to Greektown in Toronto traces a single ugly night in August 1918, when a rumor about a beaten veteran ignited three days of anti-Greek rioting through downtown Toronto. It follows the community's retreat east onto a quiet street called the Danforth, and the waves of new arrivals after the Second World War and after Greece's 1967 military coup that filled it. A listening tip: look up at the street signs above the shops, printed in English and Greek.
