Rosedale Station. I've always found it curious that one of Toronto's most prominent neighbourhoods ended up with one of the city's crappiest subway stations. And somebody grab that kid.
Andriod: Rosedale Station - built for the original Yonge Street Line in the early 50s - has always had sort of a plain look to me...remember the architecture of the TTC
Subway was 1950s utilitarian...but as recent pictures show has not aged that well...
I found it interesting that some of that line's ROW was covered over time by "air rights" development but this station has remained the same...
I also remember the manicured almost parklike land along those sections also...even in the 80s they looked to be maintained...
I wonder if development was ever planned for the Rosedale Station's vicinity...

Now that's a good news day!
Android: I would not mind obtaining all three of these papers just to read about those headlines...especially that article on the CN Tower's "decline"...LI MIKE

Probably another victim of Toronto's highrises. According to FLAP http://www.flap.org/ about 1 million birds a year collide with Toronto buildings.
Android: So THAT is what killed Cock Robin! Actually this is not funny...when innocent birds become victims in this manner...LI MIKE

More superb shots--the quality seems to keep going up. The dead bird shot in particular is both heartbreaking and powerful. Thanks for sharing.

Yellow Taxis in Toronto?
Android: This is interesting noting the contrast between the green and white GO bilevel cars and the yellow taxis...
I want to ask if this is something new in Toronto or are these being used for something like a movie shoot? The medallion numbers are not the correct NYC format which is
1A23...is 123A a new Toronto taxi medallion type?
If they are a new type color I feel that enough time has passed since the Metro Police had yellow police cars there probably would not be any confusion between the two...
