    Bookstores (Chapters/Indigo/R-B)

    The socks and throws make sense as an add-on product, especially as gifts. If you are buying books for an avid reader, those are related, yet not related, products and can make a nice gift.

    Fairview Mall

    I was at Fairview a couple of weeks after the opening, there was a lineup outside the mall for the grocery. I would expect that on opening day, but not weeks later.

    Toronto 40 Moccasin Trail & 50 Greenbelt Drive | 28.65m | 8s | Hampton Metrics | GSA Studio

    I saw the "approved in principal" a long time ago. The Toronto link seems to be borked, not loading.

    Toronto 40 Moccasin Trail & 50 Greenbelt Drive | 28.65m | 8s | Hampton Metrics | GSA Studio

    The Don Mills Residents Inc. newsletter says these are approved, but no details. I am not sure where I look for this info.

    Evocative Images of Lost Toronto

    I do not think that is Eglinton in the foreground, probably Vanderhoof. It aligns better with the railway bridge than Eglinton does. Eglington is just off to the bottom left out of frame.

    Fairview Mall

    At first grocery stores left the malls (Fairview had a Dominion at one time in the area where Shoppers is now) and now they are coming back.

    Woodbine Centre

    Incorrect to call it Sears, it was fully owned by The Bay at that point and the association with Sears Canada was long over.

    The ramp onto Eglinton is staying, that will be where Wynford Dr will come out. It is being extended through the new development.

    Miscellany Toronto Photographs: Then and Now

    Yes, they used to spend a nickel now to save a quarter later. Now.....the councils of the 80's and 90's should be ashamed of themselves for not building transit, but hey, no property tax increases!

    So true. Unless you got one of their creations with toppings...it was run of the mill ice cream.

    Evocative Images of Lost Toronto

    Discovered in 1980 and "fixed" in the 1995. Rather slow to have it taken care of. Now is there where I say "Bitch, Please, I grew up in Port Hope"? :) They are still cleaning out radioactive material and only now working on building the permanent storage location.

    I know that is all infill and in this photo, and others of the time, makes it look like a wasteland.

    Evocative Images of Lost Toronto

    Sadly it still does not look much different in regards to trees. There are trees now, rather than the 4 or 5 I count here, but it is still barren of them.
