Ah, Oriole Crescent... I ride past there (very quickly) on my way home.
I lived on Reid right across from Glengrove. Back in the day, I would cut through the Martha townhomes to get to school (St. Helen's) when I could - and try to avoid the dangers of Oriole. But really, the whole area was pretty sketchy - not just Oriole. Everything there looks safer now than when I was a kid - although that might not be saying much.
My go-to store was Pete's Variety on Queenston Rd. It's funny how perspective changes as you get older. St. Helen's and Pete's Variety (on either side of my house) now looks ridiculously close to my old house - whereas back then it felt like a greater distance. I never realized how good I had it.
Sorry for the walk down nostalgia lane.
