No, it actually *was* a TTC garage from the late 40s to the 80s; Sorauren Park came afterward...
O RLY? I must have read it wrong then... Thanks for corrections.

Great pics, I wonder what was in place of Leslie Grove park (the fenced in area to the right) back then
A four-lane streetcar line! Imagine what could Eglinton and Sheppard look like have these alikes have implmented in surface routes.

Then. Queen (again) looking w from sumach street. April 5, 1934 (again).
Now. March 2010. There are more of those old fashioned style streetlights like we saw in goldies post a few days ago.

The eastern terminus of Winchester, where it came out of the Don Valley. It's now an entrance ramp for the Don Valley Parkway.
Then. September 12, 1919. My gramps had been in Toronto a year. He was working in his dad's laundry on Broadview which was just behind the photographer.
Now. April 2010. I couldn't get the elevation of the Then pic; so I substituted a couple of Now pics.
The Bank-like building that was located where the Pizza Pizza is now can be found in several Toronto Archive views under search term "Broadview Danforth". In one of the views the word "Metropolitan" can be made out on the building; I'm guessing that it was a branch of The Metropolitan Bank, which merged with The Bank of Nova Scotia in 1914. Why the signage is still up that long after the merger is another mystery.
