Jasper Ave facing east, in 1946, 1952-1961, and 2020. In the third picture, Paramount Theatre is at roughly the same spot where Empress Theatre used to be.

@CplKlinger -- I love the chaos of the signs in the older photos -- they help to create a notion that the City is alive and inviting -- Planners have taken that away from us today (note to Planners -- WE WANT IT BACK!!!)

No kidding, I agree with you completely. I was messing around on google maps the other day and noticed this change near Rogers Place. I hope that we see this done along streets such as Jasper Ave as well. The improvement on the street's overall atmosphere is night and day, full stop.

I hate the colour, the shape, everything about the exterior of the library is wrong. I don't know how all those involved can live with this, such an embarrassing project.
We need to fix it.

Some of the trees could be relocated and most left as is with a small platform footprint. I would LOVE to see a stop there. It will kick start some renewal in the area.

The library is a situation where lipstick on a pig would actually work. Bracket some a series of large murals on it so that it literally stops looking like a blank slate and we’re good.
