Super dreary

Did the building on the left eventually morph into African Modern, which offered a wide selection of Mexican wooly vests for the local biker gangs?

I hadn't realized that Kresge's had a location here before moving up to Yonge/Carlton. I knew it as a Woolworth's in the late 60's. There were several smaller buildings of a similar vintage on Yonge. They were all faced with limestone giving it a very coherent and satisfying look.

How Grand!

It certainly knows how to soar!

It was certainly a happening place during its Carriage House days!

Nothing screams park like gravel!

The liver & onions at Palmers Drugs was particularly tasty.

WHOA!!! Thanks for an amazingly comprehensive tour of Regent Park. Well done!

The land beyond ...

That was epic! The penguins are a bit whiffy aren't they. Lucky you to see quite a few varieties. The Emperors rule! thanks

Love the chinstraps! Thanks so much.

When Kokyo had a patio on Alexander in the former building, sitting on the patio was a bit of a challenge noise-wise. The din of Yonge Street and the rumbling from the subway conspired to compromise one's sense of Wa.

Impressive!

A large part of the allure of Yonge Street was the record stores. They were responsible for a lot of foot traffic, especially around Dundas and to a lessor extent, Bloor.
