androiduk's My Toronto

Looking much the same as when it was built, Bloor & Devonshire Pl.

I guess we'll know by the end of the summer whether or not Torontonians will stick with dogs & fries or try something more 'exotic'.

'Bell boy', keeping us all connected.

Only a bank could afford to have a lobby this big on prime real estate.

Somewhere behind all those signs is a house.

These photos are fabulous. I'm sure I bought a Mickey Mouse watch from that shop many years ago.

^ Thanks west. That little watch shop has been there for at least 20 years.

Thanks for the great photos and commentaries androiduk, I look forward to seeing more

I used to go to parties in that house back in the 80's. Queen Street hipsters lived there at the time.

This has to be among the last 3 or 4 actual houses that still exist on Spadina - that weren't torn down in the 20s - 40s for commercial usage. Pretty amazing that they survive when you think about it.

^ What's amazing to me about that house is all the space in front of it with no vendors. It would be the perfect spot for a supermarket with lots of fruit & veggie stands outside.

I'm estimating that the north wall of the long gone Toronto Telegram building occupied the space where that reception desk is now.
