The January 2018 issue of “Neighbours of Leaside & Bennington Heights” magazine features the Laureola family as their cover story. Carrie Laureola is the proprietor of Bamboo Bay, a small and friendly school for creative expression offering art and music classes for children, teens, and adults. The article, written by Richard S. Todd, credits the Laureola family with bringing the Arts to family and community. “Without art, the world would be bland, boring and devoid of joy.” We agree. Carrie grew up in North Leaside, and if you’ve been around for a while, you may remember her parents’ Bayview restaurant, China Feast. “Leaside is the community that I grew up in and have many fond memories of. It’s still a great place to live and we’re so happy to be part of it.” The heartwarming story of how Carrie met her husband Mike, a dentist running his own practice, and their journey through life as they started a family and grew their careers is well worth the read.
