Is that the beginning of the roof slant I see forming on the left side?

The picture was taken on Nov. 27, so I doubt it.

I look at this photo and I can't believe where the time has gone....
When I was a little younger than Steveve, (I had just turned 13) I went up the CN Tower for the first time on June 26, 1976. (It had opened the 23rd but I couldn't make it that day.)
I had watched The CN Tower being built from the first hole in the ground and I was there on Front Street the day OLGA lifted the last piece of antenna to the top. So I was eager to see that remarkable view we had all been promised.... It was awe inspiring and disappointing at the same time. That same view down below was a vast wasteland of warehouses, rail lands and HUUUUUGE surface parking lots. Not very metropolis-like at all.
I remember the newspapers of the day talked about all the future developments for the city. I collected articles with renderings and proposals for developments that never happened. (I wish I still had them) I tried to imagine what the city would look like in the far off 21st century!
And there it is!!!
Much the same here, and in the same year. Although in my case it was during a school trip to Toronto.We're about the same age and I experienced this as well.
