Thanks Michael -- I always appreciate that accurately-matched cropping.
And the 60-year change to the skyline is awesome!

Park Hyatt's roof lounge has a great view of the city. The original photo is from Leonard Poole circa 1958. My view is from 2016View attachment 133947 View attachment 133948
I'm not sure about the original W.K. Lis. Mine was on a Sunday around 12 noon. I did a pano when I was up there and just for fun I will post the unedited version.Just wondering about the day of the week and time of day the photos were taken at. The 1958 shows a packed roadway, while the 2016 shows a sparse roadway.
Well thank you Goldie. I haven't been posting here for a few years. I used to be "Brewster" but due to switching to Bell from Rogers I lost a lot of passwords. I noticed that a lot of photos are not here that I and others have posted due to whats going on at Photobucket. If I can re-post the ones that are missing I will if that's alright by you. It might take awhile but time is something I have plenty of.Thanks Michael -- I always appreciate that accurately-matched cropping.

That coffee shop used to be a favourite with TTC Drivers doing the night bus. They could get off there, hope in and get a coffee at 3 am without anyone even knowing. Eventually they had to stop doing that because people were complaining but they made a killing.
Thanks Mustapha. Always good to see that you, Goldie, adma and the rest are still keeping the spirit of Toronto alive and well. I have been running Vintage Toronto on facebook for the last 6 years and it is very time consuming. I have Then & Now albums of every major street in Toronto and then some. I just checked the Don Mills Then & Now thread on this site and it needs to be redone due to my exit from "Photobucket". I can't figure out how to start a new thread, any help would be appreciated. I have a Dufferin Then & Now in waiting.Heya Michael, welcome back!

Not me; the Bank of Montreal may have its legal headquarters in Montreal but most head office functions are here too. You want to be in the country's financial centreAnyone else finds it odd that the headquarters for the Bank of Nova Scotia (aka Scotiabank) has its head office in Toronto, Ontario?
