Yonge Street/Then and Now

The east side of Yonge Street south of Dundas Square in 1950. The photo says north of Louisa Street. This street was lost when the Eaton Centre was built over top of it in 1976.
A similar view in 2010. The Canon Theatre is the Canon Theatre in the first photo.

Yonge Street/Then and Now

The east side of Yonge just south of Dundas Square in the late 1930's. Childs was a popular restaurant chain at the time with four locations in the downtown core.They were in business form 1919-1963, founded by William and Samuel Childs.
Now it's the Hard Rock Cafe (also a popular chain).
Another angle showing the Childs logo in the window and a busy news stand on the corner.
Another Childs Restaurant on King 1950.
