Days gone by in Toronto

Days gone by in Toronto

from a stash of negatives exposed by what would have ben my grand father in law. I never met Charlie, and his shooting skills were not all that great, but it is still a balst to see how Toronto looks in the late 40's and 50's in the 30 or so rolls of his negs show. This one shows Kingston Road somewhere in the esast end of town, and is a bit out of ficus, but it still conveys what the worlkd looked like then.

Can't you tell that I was trying to get these done before I had to head off to get to a meeting on time? I usually type, then re-edit where my fingers have hit two keys at once, or two out of sequence. I was better when I was typing in code, because it was a batch compiler place, and once you submitted, any re-runs went back to the bottom of the queued jobs.
 
I was there a few years ago and drove east along Kingston road toward the edge of town. Your view looks much the same as I recall, except that today's cars are smaller and more numerous. Photographs freeze time and some show that time moves slowly on its own.
 
I used to live in this part of "Trawna". The photo brings back lot of good memories.
