WELCOME TO MOUNT PLEASANT

The neighbourhood so chill they named their park "Dude Chilling Park". Connections to neighbours come naturally too, whether that takes form of striking up a conversation over a strong cup of coffee at 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters, discovering fresh produce at the local farmer's market, suggesting a good read while in line at Pulp Fiction Books or toasting a craft brew at one of the many breweries. Mount Pleasant is a creative's dream, with so much to look at and new ideas to gain.
