    Scott Lane viewed from Yonge St. 1904 [IMG]http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy213/gdunbar/ The Grand Trunk Railway freight shed is a curious site to me. I wish there was another shot detailing the freight shed and possibly the service tracks to it. This is facing east? Paul Delamere

    I am looking forward to your looking through it, but I have recently run across some very accurate maps of London Ontario and am doing an update release in about a week.

    Welcome back Mustapha! In regards to the Westwood Theatre, I remember seeing Bedknobs and Broomsticks there in original release (1971). It was quite a treat to have a family outing to the theatre back then. Paul

    Miscellany Toronto Photographs: Then and Now

    My fantasy era would be around 1925. I would ride and take detailed photos of all the long gone streetcar routes and electric interurban railways.
