I half jokingly said Bells Corners because of SuzyQ Doughnuts. Having said that, BC has a surprising amount of unique offerings like Vera's Burgers and Kichessippi and Conspiracy Theory breweries which both have decent outdoor patios, and other non-chain operations.
While the "stroadiness" of Robertson Road is truly awful, I think if they complete-streeted it with segregated bike tracks, wider sidewalks, nice lamps and a slight road diet (less centre turn lanes), it could be somehow be improved beyond a lipstick-on-a-pig endeavour.
