What Toronto street is this?

[urbandreamer]

Sort of like the Toronto teaser, only a place to post photos for the UT folks to guess where the heck "we" are in Toronto. It's a good way to show off Toronto, imho, and to show the changing streetscape/built form/architecture/terrain that makes up Toronto.

So, to start: Where was I today?

Davenport Road

 

[urbandreamer]

You got it, Davenport Road at Salem Avenue, nice curve and interesting architecture, but it gets rather run down here. (It would be hard to guess that just north of here are the gems along Regal Rd.)

Maybe I'm making it too easy? Toronto has flat-roofed homes!

 

[androiduk]

I'm gonna say Dundas north of Bloor.

 

[junctionist]

Yes, that one is also easy. It's Dundas Street West and Brad, to be exact.

 

[urbandreamer]

Yeah, Brad St. Nice name for a street, and a cute little street indeed. (One of urbandreamer's fantasies? Buy the entire strip of homes and renovate them...flip into the next real estate cycle. Shhh!!!)

Another one of my dreams? Closing the following street off to all traffic during a snowstorm and sledding down it! Where would I end up?

 

[adma]

Roselawn. (Hints: the Oriole Parkway sign, the tower.)

I suppose you'd wind up at the N edge of Eglinton Park.

 

[urbandreamer]

Yeah, I was gonna make a joke: If I skated down the street in the summer, I might end up in a rose garden.... I left the tower in the photo so I wouldn't stump y'all.

Anyhow, lovely street here, I like to stare at the houses wondering which of them I'd buy? (Many are nice, imho.)

The view down the rest of the hill (and the slope back up) to Yonge Street:

What is so wonderful about this street?

 

[ShonTron]

What is so wonderful about Sumach, looking north to Queen, then? It's not a bad street, though right now disconnected, and south of King, turns into Cherry.

 

[urbandreamer]

What is so wonderful about my photo of Sumach St looking north to Queen St East? Well, the building on the left with the for lease sign houses Magic Inc. That's pretty wonderful...err magical, ain't it?

I've always found this vista interesting. Where was I on 20 December 2008?

 

[ShonTron]

Looks like Caledonia Road south of Eglinton.

 

[urbandreamer]

Indeed it is. (Interesting nabe, could be trendy sometime before the next century.) Damn, I gotta reach into my archives, and post something more obscure.

Like this place, perhaps?

 

[Mustapha]

Is this Strathgowan looking west towards the Mt Pleasant bridge?

 

[urbandreamer]

No. Hint: It's north of Bloor, west of Yonge St.

 

[Mustapha]

No. Hint: It's north of Bloor, west of Yonge St.

Is it Don River Blvd looking towards Sheppard West bridge?
