'Hosu' at Queen and John closed a few weeks ago. There was a landlord relief letter or some such thing taped to the door asking the owner to pay $27,000. in back rent. My wife guessed that might be ONE months rent. It was always busy; I suppose the killer rent killed them. 'Tot Cat Cafe'...

A 'just for fun' Then and Now of Yonge and Dundas. Empty nesters the wife and I were watching the 1988 shot-in-Toronto film 'Short Circuit 2' last night. Reliving something we did with the kids in those days. Our kids loved that flick. Today I went out and took some Now shots of Yonge Dundas...

Thank you r937,, it worked! http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/miscellany-toronto-photographs-then-and-now.6947/page-661

My wife jokingly calls the Queen West Saint Patricks Market: 'Storks Chickens'.

The 'Ontario Place Forum' to me.

It turns out that blogto and AlbertC are correct. Work has started on Huron street. Picture from today. Yay. :) I hope the grocery store on the left/west side doesn't foul the place up. They have a habit of pushing all their produce out onto the sidewalk.

Cool indeed. At the 2:36 mark a lady walks past a 'workers cottage' style house. This is the east side of Strachan just a few paces south of Richmond. The little house is still there; much covered in fake brick and amazingly well shingled - the owner cares. It can be seen on Google...

No problem. :) This needed to be brought up anyways. When I travelled on business I'd always detour to see other cities Chinatowns. Toronto's downtown Chinatowns - both of them - aren't alone among North American Chinatowns in not having a square or park. I suppose Grange Park could be...

This is happening late; if it's happening at all. It was supposed to happen this year and the year is almost over. The blogto article links to a 20 month old Cressy announcement. Work crews have in the past month dug up the sidewalks on both sides of Huron in the general area of this future...

Yes, that was it. It's gone now.

That's how I feel too. :) It replaced a 'deli' kinda place run by some Korean ladies.

Popeyes Chicken has opened in the Village By The Grange food court. Dundas and Saint Patrick.

Heya, let's have a look east from the downtown Toronto Spadina Avenue bridge We have the 1971 view and today, as in I was there today this Sunday afternoon Oct. 22. :)

I went for a walk in Grange Park and up and down nearby Huron Street today. I wound up in my favourite dive of a bakery - the one on the south side of Dundas just to the east of Huron. The owner lady there is so pleasant. Grange and Huron, SE corner. My maternal grandmother ran a...

Thanks Anna, yours is a much better 'Then'. :) And, that Flickr album is something I didn't know about. Some bizarre picture choices, but still pretty cool.

Inspired by the Spacing article, link below, I went for a walk today in the St. James park/Front and Jarvis area. Then came home and matched my pics with some Toronto Archives pics. http://spacing.ca/toronto/2017/10/16/modest-proposal-archeology-park-downtown-toronto/ So...

Chinese people aren't going to like all that black/dark gray. Just saying.
