Nice update.

The Canada Trust building at 110 Yonge is another example of how something of charm can be lost by "filling in" an overhang.

Nice update.

I think it looked better with the open plaza and space around it. Now you can't see it for the trees. Cut them down.

Trees good...

Deepwood Crescent

 

[Conrad Black]

That's one beautiful neighbourhood.

 

[LowPolygon]

that's looks like a kind of hidden gem of a neighbourhood. reminds me of old scarborough--guildwood parkway, poplar road, greyabbey trail etc...

 

[Edward Skira]

Probably the same era as Guildwood. Love both areas.

 

[Mustapha]

In the very middle of both pictures there are a pair of trees abutting each other; I wonder if they are the same pair?

 

[Anna]

I would say yes, they are the same trees.

I love this street - only partially stucco-monsterized - but I wonder what it would be like to live in perpetual shade?

 

[Urban Shocker]

Well, cooler than without it in the summer months. And maybe the back gardens are more open to the sky, as they generally are?

For half the year, anyway.

Also easier on the hydro bill.

True. But the back gardens are just as shady.

Ha! I thought it looked like the Greenland area of Don Mills.

Deepwood Crescent

As beautiful a neighbourhood as it is, I'm always struck by the lack of sidewalks.

Granted, the car was the be-all mindset back then, but it just is not good fundamental urban planning to completely ignore the pedestrian aspect. How is it in winter with the street further constricted due to snow banks and slush puddles?
