Love this T&N. In an incredibly fast-changing city, here is a corner of Toronto that has remained essentially untouched by time for 85 years.

Sheppard Ave. E. looking W. to Woodbine 1965 ---- Wow! That's 42.9 a gallon!
Sheppard now travels over the huge, wide Hwy 404 (formerly Woodbine)

Used to be able to cruise all night for $2. A little more once I could afford a higher performance V8.

Interesting vignette in the old photo. Very light pedestrian and vehicular traffic; a couple of young males making some kind of gesture; probably a city worker with a broom; it looks like the Temperman Wrecking sign says 'all materials for sale'; to open 'honour system' newspaper box; the stop sign on the sidewalk side of the pole and the old fire call box.

The loss of the Yonge Street Arcade always kills me, nothing else like it in the city. For what it's worth the cleaned up facades on Temperance are looking quite sharp, but just imagine a restored Arcade bookending that view. *sigh*

Kindergarten and Grade one there. Miss Polley and Miss Woods respectively as my first teachers. We lived on Galt Avenue until 1956. We thought downtown was the Danforth, haha. One day we went to the 4th floor and we could see the real downtown for the first time...Bank of Commerce building and the Royal York.
