Now: Bay looking N from Elm, June 2012 (from s side of Elm as I wanted a slightly wider view) Can you see anything that's the same??
bayelmlookingn2012.jpg


I had intended to do a quick set for 650 Bay (the SW corner of Bay and Elm), but I seem to have misplaced the 'then' photos. (I am pretty sure they're kicking around this thread somewhere via someone else, but I want to gather them all in one place :) If I find them I'll post.)

Good day.

And Good Day plink. I can't see anything that is the same either. Bay Street has become quite the canyon of towers.
 
Then and Now for June 26.


Then. June 26, 1955. More old Chinatown. 173-77 Dundas Street West.

Now. March 2011. Note the old sign, a holdover.

The picture of Elgin Ford prompted me to come out of "lurkdom".....I worked there back in 65/66....my second ever job. My first job was a little ways up the street at Bay & Gerrard at "Eatons Automotive Center"...Yes..that "Eatons"...anyone remember that ?, or better yet have pics ?...I've never been able to find any.
In the Bay looking north pic, you can see the BA Sign to the right of the streetcar..That was the Automotive center.

The pole's blocking the way, but it looks as if that sign may read "GASOLENE" (a common alternate spelling in the early motor age)
