To call this street an attraction is laughable. Most places have closed down to high rent and what’s left is struggling. There’s some good restaurants but nothing special and the area is full of decaying buildings, stores that close early and zero nightlife. Lots of mentally ill and drug addicts that harass people and make running a business even more difficult as they wander into establishments and annoy customers. Terrible drivers make this street a nightmare to walk along and Kerr and Speers is something special as entitled, speeding drivers ignore safety and will mow pedestrians down despite the stop lights. Lots of car collisions because everyone is in a hurry or playing on their phones. Lots of drunk drivers around the various dive bars in the area and walking alone at night as a woman can be scary because you will get accosted by drunk perverts. Lots of car break ins and bicycle thefts so keep an eye on your property.

The strip of Kerr Street from the Lakeshore to just south of Speers Road is a great place to wonder for an afternoon and find some local shops and restaurants that are truly locally owned and operated. A number of merchants who have been driven out by the ridiculous rents and lack of parking on the Lakshore in downtown Oakville have relocated here. Maro's, Gingerman (closed for renovations at this time) and Kerr Street Cafe are fabulous! Gear Music is one of the best guitar and music gear shops in the GTA, and there are some lovely small parks to sit and people-watch and enjoy your coffee. In the evening, check out the Moonshine Cafe for the best live music in Oakville.
