Then. March 12, 1950. Looking at the northwest corner of Yonge and Gerrard.
Now. May 2012. Aura Condo. They've made quite some progress at street level since May. The fencing is gone and a bank, and a 'Bed, Bath and Beyond' (BB&B is on the second floor) are far along in their interiors.
The interesting thing about this corner is that it was a parking lot for about 35 years prior to the Aura condo. The walls of the basements of the old buildings came to light during the excavations but I didn't have a camera and when I returned with one it was too late.
