August 8 Then and Now.
Continuing our Spadina Cr. walkabout...
We are looking at the 'City Dairy' building. By the date of this picture - 1948 - we see the "Borden's' sign on the front and a very identifiable milk delivery truck of the type that used to be very common on city streets.
A dairy in Stratford ON launched home milk delivery about 20 years ago; I'm not sure of the status now. There is still home milk delivery in some communities in the USA. Several bags of milk is a heavy affair to buy and carry home. Most of us know only how aggravating this can be. Imagine it delivered to your home and placed inside a 'milk box' built into the side wall of your house. Of course you would have to be home to put it away.
Our Goldie mentioned awhile back that his father used to bring him here for ice cream.
Now. May 2011. Not many changes but the boulevard on the left is gone.
Several 'Then and Nows' of New York City here, done by one of the New York Times' photogs, in the cleverest format I've ever come across. 'Play' with it and let me know what you all think.

I am liking the NYC TANs. Great way to show them!

"Total coincidence! I finished watching Mustapha's youtube clip from the movie, flipped on the tv and the exact scene was playing.

Individualism ain't allowed there. Several years ago someone wanted to paint their door green. National furore!
