I remember that Zumburger on Bloor west of Bay. While rooming at Sussex Ave and Huron St we'd stroll up there for burgers and such. Where did that time go?!

I was with Toronto Telegram reporter Ron Kish when we explored this hunk of junk for a story in 1970. It was a day like the photo but creepy. You had to be careful where you walked because of the jagged rubble littering the site.

My wife worked at the CIBC in the early 1960s. She is amazed at the "today" photos

1954 photo showing the fire hall and the original Old No 4 police station. Looks nowhere near the brick example shown on Murdoch Mysteries. Old timers who worked there up to the late 1950s say it was a crap hole. A new police station was built down on Regent Street which became the first 51...

This treasure trove of work by Lambeth's is fantastic. Not only good (or better) than his contemporaries at the time but also like the recently discovered works of Vivian Maier. This is our vintage street photography at its best. Why isn't this work in a gallery or published in a lavish table...

I was acquainted with Ted Chirnside in the 1970s and viewed many of his photos of post war Willowdale. He recognized North York was changing fast and photographed areas and landmarks that would soon change wtih development. While working for weekly papers in North York (The Enterprise...

Hi Anna, You've got your listing spot on for the time period. It didn't change much after, old no 2 closed not long after and HQ moved out of Old City Hall and went to 149 College (later 52 Div following almalgamation) before moving to Church and King St E, then 590 Jarvis and finally its...

The front desk and communication call box unit all came from the Old No 7 station at Ossington and Bloor (building still there) Stories abound of Sgt William "Wild Bill" Kelso who commanded the front desk. Street cars heading south on Ossington would slow down in case a typewriter flew through...

Great photos. Quite a neighborhood. Especially like the first photo of old City of Toronto No 7 police station at Ossington subway. Knew a fellow who was an officer there in its heyday after the war.

Nice photo of the firehall construction. My dad grew up on St Clements Ave just north of this location. He remembers the building of the firehall and the old no 12 police station a few feet east.

Possible location is Bay Gerrard area before the condos went up. I remember they shot that movie mostly around the Eaton Centre and north around Yonge, Bay, Gerrard area.

Great photos Anna, especially of the old Glen Echo terminal. And the building changed very little until its destruction in the 1980s. In the early 1970s I worked for Dave Muirhead, the grandson of Reeve Jas Murihead pictured in the opening of Glen Echo terminal.

The terminal (called Glen Echo) stood just about 30 feet east of the present Trappers Restaurant. It was opened in the early 1930s. A northern streetcar terminated there then went north to Jackson's Point only. TTC streetcars terminated there and went south to the docks at foot of Yonge. When...

Thanks for the great 1968 photo of the old City Limits terminal (in foreground) brings back memories. I remember some cold winter nights being dropped there by the old Yonge trolley to transfer to the old Bayview route that terminated there. It only ran every half hour and I had a knack for...
