When Toronto had two baseball stadiums on the waterfront and no Island Airport
This is an awesome picture! Thanks for sharing!
Where did you encounter this photo?

You're good.
I doubt most of us are old enough, but I'll ask it... did you ever see that bridge? Well-spotted.mattelderca

Anybody recognize this?
Still working on this one but a first thought is Don Mills Rd, looking west, north west up to Thorncliff Pk.
No, the building does not appear to be the same.
As a side note, how many try to pan around a regular photo like streetview?

No, but there was a discussion here with this and other pics. Part of the abutment is apparently still there.

The little gas station to the left of Maple Leaf Stadium is still there although renovated a touch.

That's a good guess. No, it's not where you thought it was, but I'll bet you someone out there will get this... and probably within a day.

Isn't this the same Don River - near the bridge in the other photo?
Looking N/E towards the Apt. building on Lawrence (N side just east of the DV Parkway)

It is indeed the Don, but not there. Goldie, I can pretty much guarantee you saw this view. If you'd told me you took this shot (and if I didn't know the actual photographer's name), I'd have believed it.

Sorry, I've had that photo for some time and can't recall the source.

Not sure of the angle here Lone , but I think its one of the Graydon Hall buildings.

Bayview Ghost? (I know from the other responses we're in the right area for it....)
(I'll be amused if I'm right. I know the Ghost only from photos, it being Before My Time in Toronto)

that was my first guess as well, but it looks like it has one too many storeys, and the window spacing is wrong
plus, the housing at the top right of the photo, where would that be? hillside drive? also, i'm intrigued by the shack in the centre
nice one, lone primate, an excellent challenge...

Wherever it is, I love that photo. It's so moody and evocative!
