Absolutely marvellous thesis on the Don River Valley and its history......thank you, LPCI.
It's a wealth of information, much being new to me.
Certainly more than can be digested in one sitting.......I'll be frequently returning.

I used to work next door in the '80s. Hard to imagine the 'before' and recognize the 'after'.

Here’s a map of the waterfront then and now...I halted the transition from one to the other so one can see both shorelines. Amazing landfill.
