The opposite side of the street.

College and Dovercourt/Bank Robbery/Then

The S/W corner of College and Dovercourt in 1965 or so. These photos from the York University Archives were taken just after the Bank was robbed.

Yes, you could buy live chickens and have them killed while you watched! They didn't stop doing this until the early 1980's.
