In the 1st pic take note of the drinking station, (for horse + man) also that the roof leaders

I forgot about those plastic bubbles in front of the Charles Promenade--and what on earth were their purpose?!?

I don't even have to ask about their fate: They were just begging to be smashed to pieces.

there was a time in this fair city when that wasn't a real worry. sigh.

Dear Fellow Toronto History Geeks.

Please be advised that a looming and massive work deadline has necessitated the temporary suspension of my posts on both the Evocative photos and Lost Toronto in colour threads. See you all in the New Year! in the meantime keep digging out those gems!
