More Dufferin Park racetrack.

Now. April 2011. That's Kent Public school on the right in both photos.

May 1 addition.






Then. Another ValsHere picture. 1974-ish, judging from the cars. Queen and Augusta looking W.

Kentucky Fried Pigeon my kids called it. Not sure why.

May,... MAY already. May 2 addition.





Then. So, I was walking along Queen E. just E of Broadview and I came upon this Strange street.

Now. April 2011. Looks cleaner now. This area looked grimier back in the day, no?

Though Regal Hardware on the right was IMO ruined through its makeover...

More Dufferin Park racetrack.

Dufferin was also home to auto racing towards the end of its life. After they had stopped horse racing there, of course.

Then. This is Dundas near Sorauren, Valshere tells me.

Now. The Rowntree building doesn't exist anymore. When I went to take this Now picture, I took a informed guess that the location is between Sorauren to the west and Sterling to the east, so I walked to the middle and took this picture.

I was once overwhelmed by the smell of Kit Kat bars on that bridge.

That old shot is poetry in motion.

The Rowntree building doesn't exist anymore.

The new building appears to be home to the City of Toronto's Parkdale Social Services. However, the rest of the site to the north still makes candy bars, under the Nestlé banner (72 Sterling Road).

I was reading a print article awhile back - can't remember where - this place has been around since the 30s.

For me it's Sweet Marie bars.
