Old Toronto: Av and Dav
Judging from this pic of "Av and Dav" from 1931, it wasn't yet a hub for design and floral shops.
It appears that it had streetcars running on both streets... intriguing. Got me wondering when electric streetcars overtook horse-drawn ones. According to Wikipedia, "The first electric car ran on August 15, 1892, and the last horse car ran on August 31, 1894."
Much earlier than I would have guessed!
Cheers,
Vanessa
