The images of the Eaton Centre got me searching for more info on when it first opened and I came across a commerial that had this fountain at the south end. I have zero recolection and wonder how long it was there. From what I can tell it is where the elevators are now. Any idea when/why it was...

Although there is no date on this map, I think it is at least from the early 50's. I've found similar looking maps of Ottawa and Winnipeg online and they date from the mid-40s. Sorry about the wrinkles but it's been folded up for a few decades.

I live a block away and walk by a few times a week. I'm just waiting for the day that I see one of those big white NOTICE signs telling me that someone has applied to tear it down for 40 story condo or something. If that happens it will be a very sad day. I'm sure most people who read this...

Beardmore Building - taken from north side of Front Street August 2010 Then August 2010

King & Victoria - taken from south side of King August 2010

Gooderham Flatiron Building - taken from south east corner of Front and Church August 2010 I should have taken a few more steps east :)

I'm sure a few of these have been done before. St. Lawrence Market taken from south east corner of Front & Jarvis. Then August 2010

I think this is a good example of where the confusion would start. When I refer to the O'Keefe Centre people under 30 have no idea what I'm talking about. You mean the Hummingbird? Now its SONY. I'll occasionally see ads for a play or event coming to a local venu and have no idea where it is...

This commerical block at jane & Woolner sure has changed. When it was first built in the late 60's or very early 70's fronting Jane Street (as see in the first image) was a Mac's Milk (or was it Beckers?), The Burger Bar and a One Hour Martenizing dry cleaner. Around the side was another...

Parker's Variety was very tiny inside. The store was only the width of the window and door. You you couldn't get more than 3 or 4 people in the store at any one time! It was a great little place. I can only hope that the person living there is Mr. Parker who retired after many, many years of...

Lee's Variety taken from Runnymede Collegiate during an economics class in 1978. (Jane & Bradley Sts) Similar Google Street view - 2010

Not the sort of images I was hoping to share. I know some won't agree, but I was very proud of our police force today.

I'm prety sure I remember it being a rebuild. If you look at the support colums, the layout looks to be identical.

When I first found this site I saw this image and thought it looked familiar. Then I looked out my window :) Not exactly the same angle but its close enough to give you and idea that not much is the same.

This is my first then/now post. I took the first picture of Yonge & Front in 1977 and the second in 2010. The building in the center was called 'The Film House' which has since had a sizeable addition added to the top. Front & Yonge - 1977 Front & Yonge - 2010

The great image above of the Food Building prompted me to make my first post on this site. Here are two images that I took at the CNE around 1972 when I was 11. The first is of the Midway taken from the long gone Shell Tower. Its too bad they dismantled the the Alpine Way. The second image...
