Then. NE corner Wellesley and Bay. Wellesley Public School. A couple of 'Then' views for us today.
This handsome building was erected - in the flowery language of the day - in 1874. It lasted until the mid 60s when it was replaced by the Sutton Place Hotel. I'm not sure if I 'did' this one already in the past.. if I did, this is a rebroadcast.
Now. August 2013. Soon to be 'The Britt' condo.

There was also a streetcar restaurant on Eglinton East in the Bermondsey area although I can't place it's exact location anymore. They closed the business and hauled it away about 20 years ago.
Don't get me going about the Constellation aircraft that was parked in front of the Constellation hotel on Dixon for a short period about 20 years ago. That was a beautiful aircraft.[/

The restaurant was La Pentola and was located at 1679 eglinton ave east. They moved across the road to a new location on credit union drive. I was working at Parkway Honda when the building was leveled in the summer of 96?.

Thank you dazednconfuzed68!
By the way everyone, there is a 'street photography' themed exhibit in the lobby of the Toronto Archives.

Many of the pictures are from the 1980s and 90s, an era that most of us can relate to. It was neat to see images of street scenes that are 20 years old and remembering businesses long gone but feeling as if I had just gone into them last week.
EUREKA!
After considerable searching, here's a copy of my 1982 Kodachrome of a PCC relic that was in a field at the N/W corner of Warden and Steeles (Markham)...
