Goldie, I was looking over Anna's old CNE map and your images and was struck by the loss of the "Art Gallery".
I'm imagining a CNE where the Art Gallery of Ontario or perhaps the Royal Ontario Museum have "satellite branches" with free displays of select pieces during the run of the CNE. The purpose would be to whet the curiosities of CNE goers enough that they would make the trek to the AGO or ROM. This would lift the general "tone" of the CNE too.
thecharioteer, great images of the New City Hall. We Torontonians are overfamiliar with it, not giving it a second look, but my out of town friends are always impressed.
Those were heady days in the 60s when Yorkdale mall, New City Hall, and the Ontario Science Centre opened; boom, boom, boom, all in a row.
September 15 addition.
Then. Peter street looking S from Queen. July 12, 1949.
Good grief; has the "Peter Pan" restaurant been there
that long?
Now. June 2010.
