That bridge over Spadina in the first picture I believe is the same bridge that was there until about 10-15 years ago.

Re: Historic Photos of Toronto

Considering that this thread is no longer one of just the B-D subway, I suggest the name of the thread be changed to something more appropriate.

Re: Historic photos

Ohh wow.. amazing yet soo painful!!!
What were they thinking when they git rid of these gems
its so tragic to look at photos of Yonge & Front (especially the NE corner)
Bay & Queen
Yonge & Queen
The T.O star building
Old Union Station

I can't beilive how much the invention of the car and modernism changed the urban fabric...

Re: Historic photos

This is really a great look into our city's past....it is sad to see that some of these buildings are no longer with us. But at the same time, I do prefer many of the buildings that took their place.
