Looks like a Whit to me (streetcar, pre PCC).

As a child, my mother's employer had a childrens Christmas party there. In the western themed room as I recall. I received a street hockey set, with net, as the gift! Good times. I still remember the twinkling stars built into the ceiling.

Hmmm.... No Tiki bar eh? We need a good old school Tiki bar in Toronto.

The Black Creek/ Rockcliffe area, from the end of Black Creek Dr. to Jane St. has a lot of infrastructure history for those interested. It also has the "community that never was" as I call it. I see you didn't have any pics of the high wall sections, but their is not much wilderness there...

About a year and a half ago! http://www.blogto.com/city/2011/08/toronto_says_goodbye_to_jack_layton_/

Animal skull and skin.

Was there not one at Victoria Pk. and Sheppard as well? The name of that one escapes me, a few other names for the memories, TeePee, Parkway, 400, and the 7&27.

Just to clarify, IBM was only a leased tenant in this complex, twice. Their head office at that time was 3500 Steeles east, and ten years later it was the building I am sitting in right now, 3600 Steeles east. If anyone is interested, I can take some pics of these two buildings scale models. The...

That's what I say when I see the additional cost to go up to the space deck! Nice shot though!

The ESSO station with the Imperial Oil complex behind is priceless! Phlico, yes nice. Ortho was north of the tracks, North of Gestetner. Third photo down, original post. And wow, Mony was before IOF! Anyone remember the Latin Quarter!

JT seems like a fantastic guy, so does lone. That said, some of what might be said, is not always taken in light. Guys, BE NICE! it's the internet. We don't always mean what we say, and we don't always say what we mean!

Is this photo close to your shots of the structures? There are two creek crossings and one for the main river. Look at the end of the word abandoned. http://www.trainweb.org/oldtimetrains/TSR/map_Woodbridge_2.jpg Hey, I do like the suspension bridge idea. The stairs would lead to the bridge...

Is this the right area? http://library.mcmaster.ca/maps/airphotos/zoom/1954-1955_437793.htm Or am I off? I do see a rail line going over just north of the city limit. Edit: added the next link south, http://library.mcmaster.ca/maps/airphotos/zoom/1954-1955_436793.htm

When I attended school across the road from here (both) there were still yellow markings on the pavement. Somewhere I have pics from around this area, circa 1977 or so. The building at the top mentioned by JT had a very mature roof garden then. I can still see the trees rising above the roof (in...

I was thinking rail, but the stairs are a mystery. I think you may be on track with the Hazel washout.

It was the latter part of the 80's when they expanded that building west. My father and I were electricians working for Marilyn Brooks at the time. She was moving premisses from 263 Adelaide into 720 King W and we wired the place. Drops for sewing machines, trolley for fabric cutters, etc. My...

One wonders if the current owners know of this historical value. Anyone game enough to contact them?

This is how I remember this rail overpass. And it is definitely between Eglinton and Lawrence. It now has a third arch for the "new" Wyndford on ramp. The sign is cool, pkwy ends at Lawrence, Woodbine continues. As a side note, a trucker gave his life crashing into the east side of the...

Speaking of 70's residential, did anyone here frequent the Guildwood Village area around 73 or 74? I have a childhood memory that I cannot find any information on. It involves the Cinesphere, a modern bungalow, and some eclectic parents of a friend. I am hoping someone may remember what I am...

There are tons these things around, not sure where people get their ideas from. It's kind of like this one These are what I cal bad examples, this is a good example. But I see this neighbourhood is losing these houses fast! Case in point, this house, sits close to this house.
