I like 'Apartments - Main at Danforth' specifically how the apartments fill the whole frame. I'm off to China soon, a great place for taking photos like these of the apartment buildings, full of life on the balconies, there.

That ramshackle house was one of three neighbourhood homes owned by the elderly and somewhat eccentric Walter Schimming, who died in 2006. When I moved to that part of Riverdale in 1990 the home wasn't in the greatest shape but still inhabited. One of the other properties was already abandoned and home to raccoons and birds. After old Walter died all three were sold and renovated and are lived in - that one by a Chinese doctor.

He actually lived in the detached house on the south side of Langley ( number 23? 25? ). The raccoon residence was the semi to the west of it. The house you've photographed was inhabited by an ancient "Chaz on Charles" couple for many years. And this couple renovated the raccoon house:

I love this pic!

I used to hang out at the creek quite a bit around the Birkdale area (Midland & Ellesmere) on lunch breaks when I used to work out there

That image you posted was taken by a co-worker of mine who is sitting next to me right now, a very talented photographer and truly amazing animator/designer.
