Yes, I know this is VANCOUVER (in 1907) but may be of interest to some of us.
Nicely done, in my opinion.

Incredible. I've seen a few similar videos of NYC and San Francisco, seemingly streetcar ride-alongs, but never for Toronto. I wonder if any exist, it would be cool to see.

Given that the Bank of Nova Scotia building's extant in that picture, I suspect it's no earlier than the 1949-51 range.

Though it's worth posting again, you actually posted this photo in 2009! See: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/miscellany-toronto-photographs-then-and-now.6947/page-115

Yes, what's more amazing is that I knew I had seen it before! I can barely remember what I had for lunch :->

I like this photo as it shows the old surface hydro corridor that used to run through the south core. It's now buried between the Kingsway and Sherbourne.
Here's a photo of it running through the old "South Parkdale".

The original Four Seasons at 415 Jarvis, opened in 1961 and demolished in the 1980's.

Were the first couple of photos meant to focus upon Jarvis's reversible centre lane (which might have been new at the time)?

It certainly looks like it, good catch.
