Local Insiders
John and Juli Baker live
above their Junction
shop, Mjölk. The
husband-and-wife team
fell in love with their
tin-facade-clad heritage
building on Dundas
Street eight years ago.
“Many of the small
business owners live
in the neighbourhood
and are very passionate
about what they do,”
says John. For a
delicious meal, they
suggest When the
Pig Came Home
(3035 Dundas St. W.).
