In Ohio, I think Columbus most closely resembles Toronto for several reasons. There's a lot of "newness" in the downtown area, a LOT of traffic, a lot of foot traffic and bicycles (especially around OSU) and lots and lots and lots of politicians and bureaucrats and associated toadies... it's the...

12 mi SW of Wilmington, about 15 miles E from Lebanon, 55 NE from Cincinnati, 40 SE from Dayton. Been in Ohio since 1977. Hit Cincinnati the day Elvis died. Chicago area before that.

Hello all ... I'm a Toronto born expatriate living in southern Ohio for many years. I left Canada as a teenager in the 60's and never really looked back, but after reaching old age, reading this fabulous thread every day for several months, and also after a recent visit, I find I miss my home...

I lived across the street from the Supertest from about 1956 to 1958 in the middle house of a row of three that are long gone. Much of the surrounding area was empty fields, including the Mr Donut site and the NE and NW corners of Commonwealth. The Blake family lived in the east side...

There is a garden out back but I didn't take any pics, the grass was recently mowed ... who knows, it may be occupied. No one was around at the time. I parked my Ranger with the funny-looking Ohio plates out front and walked up to the place camera in hand, as though I owned the joint. If...

Hello again everyone. I made the trip to Toronto and stayed a couple of days and loved every second of it. I hadn't been there since 2002 and it certainly has changed immensely since then. I was accidentally on hand for the Cody Simpson performance on Dundas Square Thursday evening, and although...

Hello again ... been a while since I posted. I'm coming up there for a couple of days this weekend, and I wondered about a cheap, non-smoking mom and pop sort of motel around Eglinton or Kingston roads. Is there such a thing? I looked at some of the Motel.com type sites and no real help.

I remember looking at that sign and wondering what it was, and how to pronounce it.

Hello again ... more stuff from the fifties. The apartment building in that Midland/Eglinton photo was built when I was 9 years old, in 1958 during the spring and summer. When I felt ambitious during the no-school summer months of construction, I could go over there and hang around with the...

Thank you for the pics, anna, they certainly are tantalizingly close to showing my old house, but I think they just miss. I don't remember the trees out front, and I think that's the eastermost house of the three that's showing. There was an elderly retired pastor and his wife who lived there...

The pic I referenced. My internet pic-fu is weak.

Hello again, everyone. I'll stick a couple of stories in here from when I lived in Scarborough. Hard to believe anyone's interested in a boring old man's ancient BS, but here goes! In the attached "before" photo from page 1 of this thread, there's a black or dark colored house in the left...

Hello all, and thank you VERY much for the Scarborough photos. I spent much of my childhood in the Eglinton, Midland, Brimley area and attended Walter Perry school in the 1950's, and have little left of those years but the good memories until I discovered this site today. I live in southern...
