Abstract: "This is another one-block street," I said to my grandson, Stefan, as we walked hand-in-hand down Birch Avenue in midtown Toronto. My new friends at 14 Washington Ave. - who'd welcomed me last week when I revisited the first place I'd ever lived in this city - called them sanctuary streets. "What's a sanctuary?" said the four-year-old. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
