Cool home movie from 1943

Cool indeed. At the 2:36 mark a lady walks past a 'workers cottage' style house. This is the east side of Strachan just a few paces south of Richmond. The little house is still there; much covered in fake brick and amazingly well shingled - the owner cares. It can be seen on Google streetview, the house with the four flowerpots on the lawn at the sidewalks edge.

I did a Then and Now of this years ago and would but quote/paste it here, but I can't find my own post. The search engine here ... it doesn't work for me.

A 'just for fun' Then and Now of Yonge and Dundas.

Empty nesters the wife and I were watching the 1988 shot-in-Toronto film 'Short Circuit 2' last night. Reliving something we did with the kids in those days. Our kids loved that flick.

Today I went out and took some Now shots of Yonge Dundas from a similar perspective.
