The apartment house in the left distance in the Then picture is still there. Chatsworth Apartments. I'm guessing it dates to the 1930s. No air-conditioning except for window units. The inside courtyard is quite beautiful. And I had my wedding pictures taken in this park. This year is our...

wwwebster passed away a couple of years ago but when he posted here this was a big resource for him: http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/cab/index.htm Just another internet rabbit hole for you UT-ers to disappear into. A few years back in this thread there was a whole series of Rosedale houses...

My old school. And all 3 of my kids went through grade 7 and 8 here. How cool. Thank you.

. Hello Sal, I appreciated your work. Creatively different and will easily stand with some of the work done here and elsewhere by our Goldie, Alden Cudanin and the already mentioned Harry Enchin. Cheers!

My old high school. The 'new ' school library was deftly, neatly, built out from the basement cafeteria [around 1968] and is still there; hidden under that front lawn. There are no windows obviously.

The old c1872 Fire Hall clock tower at Yonge and Charles squints in the light of day again after many decades of being surrounded by later retail buildings. Pictures taken this evening. The tower will be preserved/incorporated into the 'Halo' condominium. Perhaps it could be a very tall...

I forgot to add this scan of a postcard I got at the TD Doors Open..

We were talking here some months ago about the former 'Tower' department store on Dundas West just south of Bloor West. And its Time Capsule from 1962. 'adma' mentioned it might be found just outside the present Loblaws store. He was right. I came across it tonight.

I went to the Toronto Dominion Centre's 54th floor for a tour of the boardroom of the bank of the same name. The place has been untouched since 1967. Even the furniture. So it all looks like a movie set or time capsule. And there is artwork by Riopelle and Bush, so the lady said. And they let...

At College Park last week. [College and Yonge.] That is one very old escalator.

At Campbell House yesterday. Northwest corner of University and Queen. No charge to view.

Above: Seoul. Gwanghwamun Square is flanked on both sides by a very broad street [Sejong Ro] of 5 lanes in each direction. This square is popular for political assembly. A few hundred yards past the parked bus is the American Embassy. And a few hundred yards beyond that is one of the very...

The Google folks linked many Toronto Archive pics to a Google map and have an interactive thing going on here. Click on the blue dots to see the Then pic or pics. I clicked about 50 of the blue dots... 10 of them were 'just in the ballpark' of the actual location. They probably used...

McCaul Street Loop. Then (1975. I remembered the date when I looked at the picture but I lost track of where I found it.) and today, Sunday March 18, 2018. In the Then picture, the patch of grass in the middle of the 'loop' is now today an OCAD building completely encircled by the streetcar...

Moose here. Doing a downtown photo walk for Goldie: Records for sale at INDIGO books [records?! ], Delorean car parade [part of the St. Paddys parade, a well maintained 80s era food court and a 'VeeDub' Taco bus.

This is one of the nicest Timmy's in the city atmosphere wise. The free hockey history display is just icing on the donut.

Annnn-d, here's the story behind the odd name. https://donmills.wordpress.com/2010/06/13/how-guytoi-court-got-its-name/

So cool, Michael. And to think even those who were children who last laid eyes on that mural in, say 1910, are no longer with us. To me, seeing these uncovered, and knowing they won't stay that way for long, is quite the thing.

Not at all amazing how long lived some bank branch locations can be. But still amazing nonetheless, even if routinely uncomemorated.

Some old signage surviving in 2 locations I came across during my walk today. 1. First location: Looking up at the side of a building near the NE corner of Queen W and Shaw. 'Davide' or perhaps it was 'Davids'? - he was an ambitious restaurant owner - not for him the usual nomenclature...
