Congrats Toronto Then and Now on your 1000th page! I've been a lurker since day 1. I have a Then and Now of my own to celebrate the milestone! First photo is a Toronto Toros/Edmonton Oilers game my family and I attended in 1976 at the Maple Leaf Gardens. Same building 43 years later, now called...

Hi everyone! It's lovely weather for the October 2019 version of Torontohenge! I took these tonight at Queen Street West and Brock Avenue, opposite the Parkdale Library. I would like to see everyone else's photos, so share away!

Nice photos, Kotsy! I have a couple from that day (Sept. 2nd) and one of them is going up on my wall:

The below picture once was Montreal Trust, where my aunt worked between 1968 to 1995. I used to visit her there before we would go for lunch.

I have a question about a building I once went to in Etobicoke about more than 20 years ago. It was called the Rubber Workers Union Hall and I saw a few small concerts there put on by bands from Newfoundland. To my knowledge it was located on Islington and Birmingham Avenues and I took photos of...

All I can say is...yucksters! Such an eyesore, but I like the fact they brought back the Sam's sign a block to the south.

Here is my contribution to the thread! I took this on the Queensway past St. Joseph's Hospital on my way to High Park:

Another thing I miss about the red Gloucester cars was when it would pass over an 'X' or 'Y' track or space in the third rail and the cars would go dark one by one!

I've only been a member of that club since last May, but you are spot on about the clubhouse! The re-do will be welcome to us and (to my knowledge) it might not affect our season this summer.

I used to work at the building beside the Salvation Army (before it became Hakim Optical)

I do! I have to go through my stash and see if I can find old interesting pics!

Yes, and it would have relieved some of the crowding as well!

Funny how the 'Sam the Chinese Food Man' would later become another Asian food place! I went to the Sam's with my mom back in 1977 before we went to our summer cottage. Fast forward 39 years later: I returned to Korean Grill House at the end of April when one of my co-workers left for Croatia ...

Here's a picture I took of the Christmas lights at St. James park downtown last night:

The Alpine Way makes three! The Skyride of today seems boring, but it's great for video shooting!

Yes it is, and if I'm not mistaken, there are a couple of the light standards still standing in the tunnel.

Love the Queen/Spadina shot! I miss the Lite-Bite Coffee Shop. That was the family hangout after the Saturday matinees @ the Horseshoe every week.

Wow...and just to think after the blue scaffolding comes down it becomes George Brown College! I remember when I studied Photoshop and Illustrator in 2009 I lounged around the top of the lower flat building in between breaks.

Today, while going to work, I saw not one but [B]three[B]of the new articulated buses on the Dufferin line. It's about time they arrived! My upstairs neighbour and aunt rode in one of them on their way to Dufferin Mall, and they were quite impressed by them.

What's more interesting is that they have to (eventually) cut down ALL of the platforms on the St. Clair streetcar line to fit the new streetcars. What a pain that will be! My thoughts: they should keep the current streetcars on St. Clair.
