Greetings, Blog Readers!
Have you adjusted to Old Man Winter's unwelcome return? Sure to be short-lived.
In the meantime, some history to distract you: this vintage pic is of Bathurst and St. Clair @1909.
I think this one photo explains quite well why Hogtown used to be called Muddy York.
Cheers,
Vanessa
Intriguing! Makes me want to climb them, too. This City of Toronto Archives photo is of "Spadina Road Park north from Davenport." It was taken in 1913.
It's such a charming scene, though it was taken in February, so no leafy tree.
I imagine that the stairs were removed in order to build something new?
Cheers,
Vanessa
As we say in our house, "Wow-ah!" Bloor St. West and Avenue Road currently is some of the priciest real estate in all of Canada.
It may well have been back in 1927, too, when this picture was taken, for all I know. I LOVE the horse-drawn trolleys! Strikes me that it would still be a good, green way to get around TO! All while adding some romance and whimsy to our city.
Cheers,
Vanessa
