    Toronto Toronto | 985 Woodbine | 125.9m | 35s | Choice Properties | superkül

    Tim Horton is opening in the former Relish space, opposite corner from Coffee Time. Don’t know when, but framing and drywall were underway yesterday.

    Toronto Toronto | 985 Woodbine | 125.9m | 35s | Choice Properties | superkül

    Meanwhile, east of Woodbine and Danforth, two new independent coffee shops have popped up and a third one has changed owners and refreshed its look in just the last couple of months. A Tim Hortons is also coming to the corner of Danforth and Cedarvale. So although Starbucks won’t be long...

    Miscellany Toronto Photographs: Then and Now

    Thanks for posting this Goldie. I live in this neighbourhood and have found a few photos over the years, but my favourite is this aerial photograph from 1963 (courtesy of bfair on Google Earth Panoramio). The original Secord School fronted on to Secord Avenue, and the original Coleman School...

    Evocative Images of Lost Toronto

    My mum and dad would borrow films from the library, as well as the projector and screen, for my birthday parties when I was a kid. It was mostly cartoons like Goofy and Daffy Duck, and was around the same time period when this picture was taken. Thanks for stirring such great memories!

    Seems pretty legit - Toronto Star ran a story on A1 on March 31, 1982

    A significantly different development is being proposed with this settlement offer, largely as a result of the additional properties that Tribute has acquired since its initial proposal. total site area has almost doubled to 3,200 square metres total height would be reduced from 30 to 27...

    Miscellany Toronto Photographs: Then and Now

    My first Then and Now, and I managed to catch it just in time. Scaffolding went up around the Hotel Quigley on Danforth this week and the building will soon be demolished for a new condo development. 2300 Danforth Avenue, between Morton Rd. and Patricia Dr., 1945 28 September 2017

    East Danforth

    Yes, this site has been under construction as a new car wash for the last few months and it looks ready to open soon. I wasn't thrilled when I heard this was going in, but it is being built as of right (it was already zoned for a car wash or similar). Definitely temporary and will hopefully...

    I've been looking for that little button! Thanks for pointing it out. I think everything is working for me now.

    Interesting to see the electricity transformer station at John and Wellington at the centre of the photo. Still there today and has become a landmark.

    I am now getting my alerts. It was because I had a bunch of unread posts in the threads I am watching. Now that I've "read" everything, my e-mail alerts have kicked in. Thanks!

    East Danforth

    The only other Beer Store located on Danforth is between Victoria Park and Pharmacy. It will be interesting to see if they relocate nearby. Greenwood must be an important location for them.

    Where do I find "Your News Feed" or "Your Account"? I don't see that under any of the tabs on my profile page.

    Forum Shutdown For Upgrades

    Well, I suppose that may be another issue, because I don`t see where in my profile I would see if I`m signed up anymore - there`s nothing in my profile page which shows the threads I am subscribed to (that I've been able to find) But I used to be signed up for e-mail notification for about...

    I`m still not receiving any e-mail notifications of threads I am subscribed to (includes several threads which are very frequently posted to, e.g. Miscellaneous Toronto Photographs: Then and Now). Haven`t received a single notice since June 11.

    Toronto Toronto | The Village by Main Station | 45.41m | 12s | Options for Homes | IBI Group

    I received a flyer for this in the mail today. Says it will be a 12 story/277 unit building. I guess it is being built on the vacant lot at the south end of Trent, adjacent to the rail corridor.

    East Danforth

    There's a good chance the existing high rises have already created a high-density precedent for Main and Danforth. An example is the southeast corner of Main and Danforth (2575 Danforth). It was rezoned about 10 years ago to allow 2 new buildings @ 15 storeys and 32 storeys. Doesn't seem like...

    I believe there used to be an at-grade railway crossing of the Danforth just east of where the traffic lights are now. You can see the crossing bucks in the 1937 photo. This certainly would have impacted how this stretch of the Danforth evolved over time.
