I miss seeing the 'photo of the day' at the top of each forum page. I don't know where to find it other than in this thread.

St George's Church sold part of their land to be used for a condo. In return they get a new building.

True, but that involves searching for it. On the home page it gets lost amongst the blog entries, and judging by the lack of recent posts in this thread it seems fewer people even bother to look here. I like the photo of the day because it highlights a unique photo of something nostalgic, a milestone that has been reached, or just a great work of photography. Whatever the case may be, it was selected to bring attention to an image that may otherwise have been lost somewhere on UT. I appreciate the effort put into selecting a photo almost every day. These photos should be showcased better.

Yonge and Bloor is becoming quite the cluster of buildings. We really love this photo by Parkdalian.

The Rare Metro Toronto Police Ford Pinto.

We couldn't resist a second Photo Of The Day today when we saw this post. A shot from back in the 1970's from Yonge and Albert featuring a Toronto Police Ford Pinto. Is it just us that think criminals would not fear any officer chasing them in this car?

The photo also shows that cool looking building to the right of the Pinto. That was the original Eaton store which was removed for the Eaton Centre. A great piece of urbanism was replaced by the dead space that the Eaton Centre creates along Yonge Street today.

A gold medal goes to forum member colbyb for this amazing first post!

^^Quite the shrewd tactic on the part of Toronto police. Criminals escaping in their Charger hemis were stricken by such incapacitating fits of laughter upon seeing the poor sod of a cop sputter onto the scene in his Pinto that they were rendered unable to drive and were apprehended quickly.

Look at the copper in the pic above valiantly trying to strike a suave pose with the arm out the window. Sorry bud, ain't happenin'.
