Just a little tribute to Toronto's eclectic set of street signage before many are converted over to those new Astral Media signs. I think these are most of them, at least from what I've captured over the past 10 years or so (I know I'm missing some older ones from before I moved here, like the old St. Lawrence sign, etc.)...

Please add any others!

Wonderful collection, EVCco!
Let's hope it will be preserved for future historians.

Here's what I discovered while exploring the "Ben Jungle" neighbourhood in Scarborough:

YES! Gotta love Bendale!

Speaking of which, I always wondered though why established Scarborough neighbourhoods like Bendale, Woburn, Agincourt, etc. never got proper nameplated neighbourhood signs, while weird places like "Goldhawk" and "C.D. Farquharson" did

[Prometheus The Supremo]

though we're so used to it, avenue road is also notable.

Thanks!

That would be another great intersection btw. Too bad they dont cross paths...

There is a Gilbert & Keith though!

Very true..

Not to mention "Crescent Road," "Ways Lane," "Underpass Gate," "By Pass Court," and "Epic Lane Road"

At the intersection of Sunnyside Avenue and Wright Avenue, between High Park and Roncesvalles Avenue, one will still see (at least for a short time) three generations of street signs. A new street sign design, the beloved old city of Toronto street sign, and an ancient street sign that is still on the outside brick wall of a house.

You need a dance themed one, just for the purpose of including Disco Road.

Awesome - I've actually been looking for just such a situation!

Already ahead of you there! ~ well, kind of..

I also have a pic of "Tempo Avenue," but when I went to add "Vibe Road" to my collection the sign wasn't there at all (which happens quite frequently and frustratingly). So I kind of got discouraged and gave up on that one for a while. If its back up, someone let me know! If I recall correctly it's out in Etobicoke off the Queensway somwhere.
