Then: "Queens Quay, looking West, May 27, 27." To the right of the horse team is the machine — a dump truck — that would obsolete those suffering animals very soon.

Now: July 2011. Well, what's to say? Condo development since the late-'70s has changed the Toronto waterfront. And it continues. We are looking westward from just west of Yonge Street. It's a bit of a "wall" isn't it (not exactly my original thought on the subject)? It looks the same from a ferry from the middle of the  harbour. One thing that hasn't changed is the 1926 Toronto Terminal Building in the centre distance, a mixed use (condos, offices and shops) building for some years now. It's a real beauty, and a great and elegant example of what re-use is all about. Elegance comes at a price though; the condos within are the most pricey along this strip.
