I think that ridge would be behind the Fantasy Farm. So FF would be on this side of it. Earlier this morning, when I was there, the road to the north, running west of Broadview, was probably on top of that ridge. The park stated earlier is on the SW corner of that intersection.

I'm at T&T every week on my shopping schedule. Great place. The S is at the bottom of the hill, and at 0:37 and 0:39, you can see the poles people smash into with bad tires. Remember the days when the river crossing was only that old bridge? People had to negotiate who went through as it...

OK, thought so. That is one dangerous road, made of dirt/mud, for carriages to get down/up.

That far down, eh? That embankment on the east side (starts there in that frame) I thought came after the original exit. I guess you are right.

Yeah I was thinking the recent work has expired it a bit more. I wonder if workers realize how historical that stuff is, or if they even know at all. For that matter, I wonder what the largest REAL remnants there are in the City, without me knowing it. Things I often encounter. If you showed...

No I didn't go too far. It was wet, and a face full of leaves, rocks and mud wasn't a Monday morning thing to do. It seemed like there was a foundation of some sort in the last picture there, but no evidence of a road, at least to my untrained eye. But, I do have a recent video that might...

Well I just had to. :) Sorry, they're a little big. If you want them reduced, let me know. The forum won't let me upload them, as I think they're too big.

15¢. Isn't that Rob Ford's proposal for increase?

LOL...um, ya. Ever go down that stretch before it's been treated by the snow crew? The trajectory, from (let's call it) v2.0 Pottery Road, goes right into a concrete Hydro pole. Several have met that fate, and they simply refuse to replace this post anywhere else. It's the most magical pole...

I was at 42, which is on the east side, 5 houses down from Chester Hill. After we sold it and moved to Moore Park, a couple of owners down the line put a full second storey on it. I have dreams to this day that I am back in that house.

What's interesting from these pics is that the Don was quite windy, and obviously flooded its banks this high up. With the recent widening of the rail bridge north of Eastern Avenue underneath, all that remains is the 90° turn below Lake Shore to fix the flooding issue. But to think it was...

OK, was thinking how steep that would have been. Thanks for the clarification. I was confused with all the references. New old, old old. All around that area, the place always felt different to me. Rather "English".

Wow, that is a fantastic picture. It's confusing trying to map things out though. I always wondered why there was a lower dip in the hill on the west side of Bayview at Pottery. I didn't know it continued up the west side. I'd like to walk that some day. Some things I noticed from this...

They seem to be designed for the summer. Not designed to drain at all.

Ironically I got this post reminder email when I was actually at the plaque this morning, taking pictures of it.

It seems it might have a plot name for the neighbourhood I spent 30 years in. Felix Armstrong? I've never even heard of that. Just Moore Park.

OK now you really have me intrigued. I have to go see this map and take a photo of it. I should post it here.

Thanks for the heads up. Never heard it named that, so this found some great pics.

I would say the NIMBYs would stop this from happening. I guess this is what they call progress. I mean, SOME realtors and developers made money. And that's what it's all about, right? Yes that's sarcasm. That building is indeed sad. Another previous bank, IIRC, is the Pizza Pizza at...

LOL that's excellent. The CIBC on the NE corner, is the home of my first business. I sold lemonade on the stairs there. And I have bad news. Rumour has it Starbucks is taking over the SW corner of B&D. The realtor has moved out or is moving out. Also, the Coffee Time down Broadview across...
