The Incredible Leaning House on Annette

These semis on Annette near Keele have a serious lean. The one on the right was re-faced and "straightened" several years ago but the left hand side shows just how severe the angle is.
Most of the land south of here bordered by Annette to Bloor and Dundas to Keele was a swamp and was eventually drained to build houses. In fact the N/W corner of Keele and Bloor was the City dump up until 1910 or so.

Toronto, People City. It's a great song by Tommy Ambrose.

Tommy Ambrose.

One of Canada's most versatile popular singers and songwriters, Tommy Ambrose starred in his own half-hour show of music, variety, dance, and comedy. Produced by Stan Harris (196l-62) and Bill Davis (1962-63), and written by Stan Jacobson and Bernie Rothman, in addition to Ambrose and his guests the program featured an eight voice chorus, under the direction of Gordon Kushner, and a twenty-five piece orchestra conducted by Lucio Agostini, with arrangements by Rick Wilkins. Choreography for the show was by Glen Gibson.

During the summer of 1962, the network presented a dozen repeats from the previous season, under the title, The Best Of Tommy Ambrose.

Here's his sign off for Global TV.
