Gould street, north side, looking east from Yonge. Late 80s or so, going by that Volvo. Now. March 20, 2016.

Then. Yonge and Dundas looking SSW from the SE corner. Note Hippie Chick. This afternoon. I'm a few feet south of the original photographers position; to stay out of peoples ways.

Heya, back to Yonge and Dundas. Then and This afternoon.

Then. 1980. Queen West north side looking west at towards #312. This is just west of Soho. On a related note: the parking lot on the northwest corner of Soho and Queen - out of picture on the right - has been there for a mighty, mighty long time.

And condos.

Another installment of Yonge street 'Then [still 1973-ish] and Now' [today at 3:00pm]. We're looking east along Dundas towards Yonge.

Then - guessing 1973-ish [going by the cars], and last night. Yonge looking NNE from Dundas. Again, I think this thread 'did' this one a few years ago, but I can't be sure.

I spent all my time around the old city centre and the RAI convention hall - and I saw about 6 of them. They're pretty unmistakeable.

Yonge looking SE-ish from opposite Gould. Then - 1981, and tonight. I think I did this pair a few years ago. Anyways, I was in the neighbourhood and had my trusty Olympus EPL5 with 25mm f1.8 attached and handy so I took a snap. In the Then pic, the overhang thing with the square podded...

I saw lots of these in Amsterdam over a week visit. In use as daily drivers. This was 10 years ago.

LOL guys. :) 'JT already mentioned Jimmy's, so: "COMBOS" -- Danny at Dawes near the SE corner. "Duckworths" -- Danny at Main a block or so from the NE corner. "Breakfast Specials" -- Danny and Main near the SW corner. "3 Eggs" -- King E, across from George Brown, perhaps a little to the...

Where do we eat? :confused:

Then. Through the years. The less famous vinyl emporium - A&A - just to the north of the more famous and more lamented Sam The Record Man.

And funny how the fire escapes can be accessed from street level. I don't believe I've ever seen anything like that on a building as 'major' as Massey Hall. I post this as I saw a 20s-something couple coming down from the second level of the escape a few weeks ago. They'd gone up for a...

LOL JT. One thing for sure. Like you we are both night owls. Hey it's almost dawn. Must run back into the coffin. :)

Just my contribution to Goldie's always wonderful colour.

Today's Then and Now, with a possible segue into a 'restaurant rating'. :) Looking NW at the N side of Queen street - the block between Simcoe and Saint Patrick. In the Now picture only The 'Rex' is still there. The Rex has a small window sign advertising 'all day breakfast'. I must go...
