    Miscellany Toronto Photographs: Then and Now

    It's early Sunday morning and I don't have any material for a Then and Now. But I'm going to post a kind-of-Then-and-Now because something got my goat up. One of my rituals is to read The New Yorker magazine. I'm not saying anyone else should but their online article about Sunday shopping in...

    Ut-er 'OldCamera' was inspired enough by the walk-around-St. Clements-church post back on page 827 of this thread that he sent me some old family pictures. His grandmother and her son - Oldcamera's dad - lived on St. Clements Ave. back in the day, #35 specifically. Oldcamera, like I, would...

    Responding to my own post of almost a couple years ago to post an update about the Matador club. http://metronews.ca/news/toronto/1272955/the-matador-music-club-to-rise-again-owner-says/

    Goldie, That is an iconic picture isn't it? A Toronto connection too. http://www.today.com/id/44182286/ns/today-today_news/t/subject-american-girl-italy-photo-speaks-out/#.VMfXOi5V83g More: http://www.orkinphoto.com/photographs/american-girl/

    Fish & Chips!

    I go all the time, but always at off peak hours. That way, I'm assured a table, and my food. The Chinese owner (as in he's from China) is a very nice enough guy but he panics and his head goes into another zone when the phone orders come in at the dinner hour. If you are unlucky enough to...

    This pic has to be one of the real Gems at the Toronto Archives. I've always wondered the location?

    It's hard to remember that the Eaton Centre was half the length it is now... Then 1977. Old Eatons store coming down for Eaton Centre expansion. Now. January 2015.

    Yep, Wuppertaler Schwebebahn Then and Now. Look for the Google maps streetview link for the Now view. http://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2015/01/on-this-day-the-wuppertaler-schwebebahn-in-1913/384342/

    North Toronto kind-of Historical Tour cont. pg 2. On the NW corner of Yonge and Lytton in North Toronto is Snider [there's that name again] Parkette. There is a playground in the far corner away back from Yonge - the playground is easy to miss, it's behind one of the Yonge subway line...

    Hey there's the Circle theatre. I never remembered it as such. It was a 'Power' Supermarket from soon after 1955 until about 1970-ish when the present retirement home was built. Back on page 216 of this thread there is a pretty colour 'isometric' drawing of the Circle theatre. There is also...

    Nice pic Anna. I've never seen this one; and I think I've seen every one in the Toronto Archives over the years, so I'm assuming it came from somewhere else. Toronto digital archives keep adding pictures ... I should have noted the available number in 2008 when this thread started. But I...

    A drive down Yonge street in 1987. Kind of neat to see the buildings that used to be where Yonge Dundas Square is now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bXPZhpusDg
