Nice work across the board. I also like the temporary Woodbine streetcar loop; you can still see where the hall leading to the loop inside the station was walled over after Main station and beyond opened in ‘68

Thank you so much for all of these. So much of the old city is disappearing. I find so much of the modern architecture cold, depressing and ugly when compared to the Gothic, Art Deco and Victorian styles
Our old family doctor used to be in that corner building at Sherbourne and Howard on the east side. I was in there once or twice. Spooky old building in the 1960s.
Toronto seemed to take glee in pulling down buildings like the Temple Building. Magnificent brick and stone buildings, sometimes demolished after only 30 or 40 years. Old City Hall and Casa Loma could have easily been lost, but luckily survived.
In the distant past, Toronto looked more like a scaled-down version of London, England, especially the old town - the St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood.
The unmatched picture at Front and Church, you maybe be close to that from the SE corner of the King Eddie, from the closed ballroom at penthouse level, if nothing is in the way. Neil, you ever do Doors Open?
I'm a tradesman. One great aspect of my job is going into places not accessible by the public. The station under Queen, the station under Bay, the radio antenna section in the CN Tower and the attic of Queens Park to name a few.
Growing up in Toronto in the 50's and 60's, you were either an east ender or a west ender. My neighborhood was the west end. I grew up on Lansdowne north of Bloor. So everything from Christie pits to Roncy, High Park, Junction, Humber are my interests. You feature mostly downtown and the east end. Nothing of interest for West enders.
if you are going to use the ' here we are' or 'here we were' premis then stick with. hint time stamps or dates and it you cant guess use your best discursion, i like your videos but you seem to run in to the situation ever time, its very frustrating
@@gr8witenorth61 I try to go with what the photo informarion provides but sometimes it is way of, like my most recent video, showing Scarboro Amusement park said 1903, but the amusement park opened in 1907.
Priceless work! Many many thanks.
You are welcome.

I agree. Thank you.

I haven't done doors open yet,
@@conradmcdougall3629 I have been thru the station under Bay. Sounds like you have an interesting job.
"Progress" has not been kind to Toronto.

I do have some west end pictures in my videos, but they are hard to come by.
