Chop suey was pretty much an American invention. Nothing much Chinese about it. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/chop-suey-origins/

a) the building has lost all its charm
b) but apparently it now provides housing for five units (assuming one electric meter is for the business)
Ying and yang.

They actually kept the streetcars running with track reconstruction. Theses days, they replace the streetcars with buses and force passengers onto small vehicles or transfers.

I used to work in the area from the time Stork and Sons was still in operation. You would occasionally see the odd live chicken strutting around the alley at the side and back - chickens would be delivered live and a few would sometimes get loose.

I have looked through this forum to find a place where I might be able to ask a question, but I can't find anything that is obvious. So I will ask here. Is there a way to obtain photos of the interior of Shoppers World Danforth between 1987 and 1989?
Does anyone remember a video game story called "Media Shack" in Shoppers World Danforth?
I know this may now be the place to ask, but they don't let new members start a thread and there is no obvious place to post questions.

I would think the only way....."to obtain photos of the interior of Shoppers World Danforth between 1987 and 1989"....
.... would be to enquire of the centre's management. They may have an archive of its history.
