What Toronto street is this?

[adma]

speaking about symington & chicken, does anybody remember the old chicken store, i think it was called royce dupont chicken farms located @ symington & dupont? the old site was torn down and town homes built in its place and i think they moved across the street. from the looks of live maps, even the new location across the street doesn't exist any more. just an abandoned lot now.

Royce Dupont indeed expired--but a Portuguese operation took over the location, and moved kitty-corner to the west a year or two ago. (p.s. it's recommended)

Well, the last photo stumped y'all. Sorry for the poor quality. I'll find a better photo of that street someday...but for now, what street was I recently staring down?

 

[adma]

Dundas + Clendenan, looking north.

Those old rail yard light towers (seen in the background of that last photo) are great historic structures themselves. There's actually a ladder to a top platform on each. Here's a gallery of the view back in 2004 from the one near Liberty Village.

^Indeed you are correct.

Which street proves that some Torontonians do indeed like colourful homes?

The homes I like:

I think that this is Jones Avenue looking south , just north of rail corridor and Gerrard Street East.

Indeed it is Jones at Hunter street--I am debating a move to that area--is it shady at night or okay?

These two cute little houses....

...are located on a street that perhaps inspired what local developer?

The streetcar yard gives it away. Minto St.

Minto is originally from Ottawa I think.

What bendy eastend street is dissected by a cup of _______?

 

[christiesplits]

Earl Grey Road, indeed. It's a cute litte pocket around there between Jones and the Greenwood Yards.

^To be clear, the street I photographed is Ravina Crescent between Baird Avenue and Jones. Earl Grey Rd bisects Ravina, the street to the left in the second photo. (I never knew there was an Early Grey street in Toronto: very cool! I love this area, and would buy a house here.)
