Thank you seemsartless. Yonge and Dundas/Dundas Square has become one of my favourite Toronto localities.
I originally thought Dundas Square a bit bleak/sterile/windswept, but it has really caught on. Even though it's now winter and not much happening there; people - especially young couples and young families - stroll about, pose beside the Polar Bear light sculptures for pictures, gaze up at the huge signs...
The Square needs its own coffee shop, heated and enclosed for winter, open for summer. Just my opinion.
December 27 addition.
Then. University and Adelaide. Looking N. "1967" according to the Archive notation that accompanies this picture. My gut feel is that it's earlier - there's too many 1950s cars in the picture.
Now. November 2010.
I'm taking a break from my PC for a few days. I'll resume posting Friday Dec 31 around midnight (you might have figured out that I haven't been invited to anyones New Years party
. )
Another year, where does the time go?
I've been enriched by everyones comments and contributions in this thread over the last couple of years.
I'm grateful to the "enablers" in the form of the Toronto Archives and Urban Toronto. Funny that I've never set foot in the Toronto Archives building on Spadina Road. I need to go.
I'm awed that contributors can find resources I can't, I feel like an amateur researcher sometimes.
I'm reminded that what we are is to a great extent made up from our memories of the past; and no, that's not my original thought.
Thank you.
